*TMHWell doneGreat show, educational and informative and keeps you interested! Thanks Paul!
-
SimplifyFireFantasticPaul does an amazing job of encouraging his guests to share their knowledge
-
Common MerganserSuperb podcastJust utterly superb content. Kirtley listens patiently, asks superb questions, and contributes his own expertise. The greatest benefit for me is his willingness to encourage guests to take the time they need to talk through their thoughts. Over 2 hrs with Cliff Jacobson was amazing!
-
H MathewsSuperb discussion on tanningPaul, Thoroughly enjoyed the latest podcast with your guest Theresa Kampler. Ey informative, even for someone who has never tanned a hide.
-
Suzette FrancoFascinating interviews and great practical informationDuring quarantine in the US I was looking for podcasts on outdoor skills and found Paul Kirtley and a few others. This is BY FAR the best—genuine and without any posturing. The guests and the host possess incredible knowledge and experience, and I absolutely love the stories of their wilderness adventures, many of which are laugh-aloud funny. And even if the topic of an episode focuses on an activity I don't participate in, I come away with useful information that I can apply to my travels as a solo camper and part-time nomad. Thanks for sharing your expertise and love of nature, and reminding me of why I can't wait to get back on the road!
-
H_HarperMy favorite podcastPaul covers a great variety of topics. His guests are fascinating and his knowledge and experience fit nicely into each conversation. Thanks Paul!
-
MaccogdellAmazing podcastWhat an amazing podcast!! Paul is an amazing host with the most interesting guest. A friend told me about Paul’s knowledge on water exploration a few years back but I had no idea. This is truly one of the best podcast I’ve listened to, he takes you on an adventure every episode.
-
jp-macatakEnlightened BushcraftI came across Paul Kirtley while on youtube researching for a canoe trip. What a find! He really knows his stuff and he has a focus on enjoying and preserving wild places. Survival is not just about being macho and having tons of knives for no real purpose. I have learned quite a lot of practical knowledge from this podcast and his blog, and he has great suggestions for related books, authors, and like-minded individuals. Well done my friend, and keep up the good work!
-
Sam LarsonExcellent Podcast!Paul is fantastic, and more than qualified to dole out outdoor expertise. This podcast is really bad for people who want fast, sexy outdoor stimulation (the "Bear Gryllsy" type), but for those of us who want to devote the time to learning about bushcraft, it is absolutely great!
-
Watcher of the WoodsGreat Speaker, Very KnowledgableI found this podcast on accident when watching one of Paul’s YouTube videos. I was more than thrilled to have another media to take in the information he shares. Great podcast!
-
Ron W AZA classy podcast that is dense with good infoI really love listening to Paul’s podcast. He always has interesting people and subjects to share that take a unique angle on the art of wilderness skills and natural awareness. Thanks for putting in all the work Paul. I look forward to more.
-
Johnny ManFifty/FiftyPaul is very knowledgeable and expert at his craft, and a pleasant guy to listen to. I am strictly in to backpacking so only about half of the episodes apply to me, but he has some excellent information available. Gonna have to buy me a brown bag now :)
-
Ltmike310Paul Kirtley Podcast #23Excellent, informative podcast as usual!! I learn so much not just about products, but technique and philosophy. Well done, Paul!
-

Rtak2Very coolPaul is a great teacher.He has good solid information on bushcraft
-
DarrylhuntGreat outdoor chatI've been looking for podcasts that cover nature, the outdoors, backpacking, bushcraft etc for quite a while now without luck before coming across this. Paul has really done a great job of putting together an outdoors podcast here. Covers a wide variety of topics and brings on very interesting guests for informative and entertaining chats. He's continued to refine since the 1st episode, and applies the feedback he gets from his listeners. Great stuff.
-
JoeRicc5 Stars!This is a great adventure podcast. I look for things to listen to in this genre all the time. Im stuck inside for 10 hrs a day 4 days a week at my job. This podcast is the next best thing to being outside!
-

JodafuBest Wilderness Podcast AvailableThe information in Paul's podcasts is top notch. I'm a canoe guy so I especially enjoyed his interview With Ray Goodwin! Highly recommended to anyone with outdoors interests.
-
kbbjediExcellent PodcastPaul has a wealth of knowledge in bushcraft and survival and shares it quite well through this podcast series. I highly recommend it to anyone who has interest in these subjects. Also be sure to check out his YouTube channel for excellent video instruction on these topics as well.
-
BackwoodstrailsGreat PodcastPaul is one of the premier outdoor and bushcraft educators today. His knowledge of the outdoors is evident in his blog, videos and podcasts which stem not only from knowledge but also tremendous experience.
-
aikirunnerInformative and entertainingIf you want to learn more about the outdoor lifestyle you've got to listen to this podcast. Going beyond Bushcraft and survival, it's all about being outdoor in nature. I especially like the episode with Kevin Callan.
-
iHikePSRFantastic!Paul is one of the best bushcraft teachers around and now he has brought his excellent communication abilities to this podcast. Absolutely fantastic!
-
Glazebrook01Bushcraft and BeyondPaul's podcast and his blog goes well beyond the traditional concept of bushcraft. The first two podcast deal with survival psychology and traditional canoe travel and risk in a true wilderness setting. Those interviewed are articulate experts in their field. The sound quality is surprisingly good given location on the second podcast.
