A problem wildlife officer by day, Ben Brochu is a person who is passing his love for the outdoors onto his young children, it is obvious from the first 2 minutes of this conversation just how passionate he is about preserving our heritage and wildlife in perpetuity.

Spending 5 months with 6 people on a sailboat doesn't seem like it is for everyone, but listen to Ben tell how they made it work and how it furthered that desire to connect with the outdoors, and himself.

From how Hinterland Outdoors came to be, to where it is now- this is a fun conversation that gets back to basics on the 'why' we choose to immerse ourselves so deeply into the outdoors

Listen to how he talks about what promised to be a near-death situation when down to 3 matches in the dead of winter, this is a conversation that will have you hooked start to finish.

Les Stroud is someone that needs no introduction. Steve gets to sit down for an hour with the one and only Survivorman.  

A survival expert, filmmaker and musician, Les spent a year in the Canadian wilderness in 1994. where he and his wife built and equipped a winter cabin using an axe, a modern bow, and a trapper's tin wood stove. They hunted and foraged off the landscape, and relied on moose and beaver meat as well as other wild edibles.

The conversation goes from Les' experience as a hunting guide, to his time before Survivorman, to how important it is to be mentally strong in the bush- this is a fun conversation behind the scenes.

Steve and Jann welcome Bri Van Scotter of Wilderness to Table to the show for Episode 18.

Bri created Wilderness to Table a few years ago while she was an Executive Chef, and quickly realized she wanted a connection to her food and to inspire people to eat better.

From her first encounter butchering her own food and the circle of life, to her furry sidekick, this conversation stays light, even when the subject can be a bit heavy. Her plans for this fall, to the new announcement of the Wilderness to Table and 1Campfire collaboration, you won't want to miss this chat.

Steve and Bri have a close friendship that will no doubt show in this fun episode, as they touch on exactly why Bri chose to get into hunting, and why she continues to be such a passionate believer in that connection.
