The Wild Dispatch
From world-record breaking expeditions to traditional hide tanning techniques: The Wild Dispatch explores the many different ways we connect with nature.
Full of honest conversations—and occasional audio adventures—This part-Brit part-South-African from America chats with guests about fishing, foraging, tracking, homesteading, ancient hunting, ultralight camping and everything in between.
It’s a podcast for nature lovers… it's an all out owl-hooting celebration of the skills and traditions that got us where we are today.

EP45: Living to tell the story ↣ Dennis McKiver
In this episode Dennis McKiver, retired Pararescue specialist and fish and game warden continues more wild stories along with a bunch of useful survival tips that might just help you save your own skin. (Check EP38 for the first half of this chat)
This podcast goes live on Veterans Day, one day after Memorial Day over in the United Kingdom and many other countries too — Thank you Dennis, and all veterans who have served and sacrificed for their country.
Given the medical nature of this episode it seems wise to also note that this is the opinion of one highly trained life-saving ex-military life-saving human... and listeners should always take time to get officially educated on the best emergency practices for each situation.
