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.

EP71: Nathan Olsen ↣ Winning Alone S12: The Family Legacy Continues
In this Episode, Robin and Nathan dive deep into everything Alone Season 12 in South Africa. This one has a bunch of entertaining and sometimes emotional stories: From memories of growing up under Larry Dean Olsen, a legendary figure in the wilderness arena, to applying his lessons in the semi-deserts of Alone, South Africa... From extremely close encounters with exotic animals, to the heavily documented benefits of wilderness therapy (And the way it helped Nathan win Alone). This one is a real treat for anybody with even an ounce of curiosity for the outdoors. More links at the bottom.
Once again, a huge thank you to Nathan for allowing us into his circle for this episode. It's been an honor hearing your story.
