Atlantic Bushcraft Adventures

Quick fixes and items that serve many purposes.

We are back from our 2 weeks off! Just chatting about what we did while we were gone, some updates, and just getting back into the groove of things!

How we pack for different types of trips and how some people are all about the destination and others the journey. Many of us are on the spectrum in the middle. Ultra light weight for a journey person. Camp comforts for a Destination trip. Lots to hat about, be sure to join us!

Chatting about the recent news story here in Canada about the 69-year-old Coquitlam woman with dementia who was found alive and well in a backyard after missing for 5 days. Read the full news story here: https://globalnews.ca/news/9836014/coquitlam-woman-found-son speaks-dementia/

We are going to have a quick chat on some of the ways you can keep cool in this hot weather we have been having lately. We will also be talking about some things to watch for to make sure you are not on your way to a heat related illness!

Talking about activities that you might be interested in for when you take your kids into the woods!

How to make your family and friends comfortable with your hobby.

We will be sharing some stories of when things didn't go according to plan and how we handled them. Might be some tips and tricks in there to keep an ear out for!

Chatting about some of the things you can do to keep yourself cleaner and dryer on your outings!

Talking about skills you can practice, blade designs, handle designs, and other aspects of knives! Pretty much going back to basics, and chatting about a beginners guide to developing your knife/knife skills! https://agrussell.com/knife-articles/blade-grinds?fbclid=IwAR2Auwt7cM7Mu2gMuBuVnB_UBAfbuQD07jSr1fLhaBuKSMytbgJAHkWB8aU

With everything going on here in Nova Scotia, we thought we would bring up the subject of fire safety. Chatting about what's going on here, and what you can do when you are out in the woods to help prevent future fires.

Chatting about some ideas and ways that you can get a little fishing in withing taking up all the room in your pack. everything from store bought, to made in the woods! Join us live and let us know your tips and tricks!

Ben and I chatted about this, Steve brought up a local Facebook post that was pretty much asking the same thing, thinking it was meant to be! Chatting about our favorite items, and maybe looking at other peoples responses! Be sure to pop in and tell us yours!

It's that time of year again when the ticks are out in full force. One of our listeners has already been affected this year and caused him some real trouble! Telling his story, and a reminder to check yourself when you get back from the woods! https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/ https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/diseases/index.html

By request, just a little chat on trolling motors. A bit different than a gas powered motor, there are some advantages to them and some things that are major draw backs. Is one right for you?

Some choices, pros, cons and our opinions on what will get you where you want to go!

With parks booking up on day one, rules on where to park and fear about where it's safe to park a car. It's getting more difficulty to find a place to camp. What are our options? With fuel becoming expensive and electric vehicles limited on range we are more restricted then ever.

Making sure that once you setup camp, everything has a place, and knowing where it is. We didn't coin the term, but we both practice the method, chatting about our thoughts on why, how and maybe even some suggestions for your next outing!

As some of you will remember back on Episode 198 we did an episode called "When is it okay to call for help?" and we featured a story of a fellow that got stuck while out exploring and needed to get some assistance to get out safely. Jonathan agreed to come on, tell us a little it about himself and chat a little bit about his adventure.
