Host of the podcast Becoming a Bowhunter and a self confessed adult-onset hunter — Matty’s spent the last six years making up for lost time. Which is why you’ll often find him out in the bush with a compound bow in one hand and a microphone in the other... Chasing wild adventures and mind-opening conversations in equal measure, the expert info he's gathered continues to help hunters accelerate their success both in Oz and the rest of the world. In this episode Robin and Matty chat a bunch of topics: His story, what bow-hunting's like in Australia, the power of sharing knowledge, and how better approaches to mental health and physical strength can improve your odds of success (and happiness in general). There might even be some wild speculation on how hunting could get a PR makeover, and what ‘the normies’ really think about wild sourced meat.A huge thank-you again to Matty for sharing his time and stories with us today!Follow Matty on Instagram @becomingabowhunter.podcast, YouTube and FacebookAnd check out Becoming a Bowhunter anywhere you get your pods!-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

When offered a spot on the hit survival show Alone, Kielyn Marrone was actually excited to take a break from her regular life. This statement might sound pretty close to a Chuck Norris joke — But it's the truth...All this to say Kie is made for the wild.

She and her husband Dave Marrone run Lure of the North - an outfitting service specializing in arctic style snow shoe adventures lasting a week or more. Robin and Kie talk about her story: homesteading in the middle of nowhere, guiding people through inhospitable places,  our need for wilderness, making your own traditional clothes, training, teamwork, and the life events that made her harder than a concrete box of nails.... along with a bunch of surprising realities about the show Alone of course.Thanks again Kielyn for being such an open book!Check out future trips and merchandise on LureoftheNorth.comFollow Kie and LOTN on Instagram and Facebook-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

This episode is recorded live, as the action unfolds, on one of many vast ranches in the mountains of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is completely unscripted and unplanned. Much like many parts of the USA— farmers in South Africa use trained hounds to help control local predator populations. They do this to reduce predation on their far roaming-livestock and new-born animals. Despite this training, hound success rates tend to be low, but help keep the cats and jackals a safer distance. We learned this from two local hound hunters named Themba and Gogo, who we interviewed spontaneously on the side of a mountain. This is their story.(Robin and his bow-hunting buddy Callum Methley of @kudu_hunt are asking questions)A big thank-you again to Themba and Gogo, to Callum for all the guidance (and catering!) and to Fred Hammer for the heads-up that morning.Don't forget to follow Fred and @kuduhunt on Instagram.-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.
