EP.041 - Lake District Expedition: Thornhill Ultraheavy & Peel Island | The Wodesman Podcast
EP.041 - Lake District Expedition: Thornhill Ultraheavy & Peel Island | The Wodesman Podcast In this episode of The Wodesman Podcast , I take you deep into the heart of the Lake District. I travelled north to meet up with the artisan behind Thornhill Ultraheavy, one of the UK bushcraft scene’s premier craftspeople specializing in rugged, traditional canvas and leather gear. We sit down for an in-depth conversation on traditional craftsmanship, durable kit, and the philosophy behind building gear designed to last a lifetime in the wild. The show follows on from a trip out on the water with a day expedition paddling out to the iconic Peel Island on Coniston Water, a place that holds many special memories for me. To wrap the show up, I record a retrospective catch-up with Scott looking back at our journey, and My trip which was originally filmed during the crisp days of March & has been finally edited, due to be released on Youtube after a few months' delay.

EP.038 - Deciphering First Aid in Bushcraft with Joe Price
Apologies for the delay in getting this episode out! This file got corrupted on the Adobe servers and was kindly recovered by the technical team (Huge thanks to Harmony & Alex!) & to keep continuity between episodes I delayed the release of anything else until it was ready. In this episode, Liam sits down with Joe Price from In Forest and Lands to dig into the practical side of first aid in a bushcraft and outdoor context in a grounded discussion aimed at helping people build a sensible first aid mindset for the outdoors. Be prepared, but not paranoid. Be capable, but not overwhelmed. Rather than focusing on worst-case scenarios or highly advanced trauma interventions straight away, the conversation centres on building confidence and competence in the basics so that you can actually enjoy time outside without being paralysed by what ifs. We break down how a lot of people get caught up worrying about specialist gear like tourniquets, chest seals, or major trauma kits, when in reality most outdoor incidents start much smaller: cuts, burns, sprains, blisters, dehydration, or minor infections. The emphasis of this conversation is on understanding proportional response knowing what is likely to happen in the woods versus what is possible but rare, and preparing accordingly without overloading your kit or your mind. We also connect this mindset directly to bushcraft skills. For example, while you're practicing something like firelighting, shelter building, or knife work, the real safety gains come from good habits: controlled cutting techniques, situational awareness, proper tool handling, and staying calm when things don’t go perfectly. First aid, in this framing, isn’t a separate “emergency mode” skillset it’s part of how you move and work in the outdoors. Please Find the First Aid Kit Document⁠ here⁠!

EP.033 - Bushcraft School Origins - John Boe of Wildway Bushcraft
Liam(Primal Nomad) catches up with a great fellow Bushcrafter & Owner of Wildway Bushcraft , John Boe. Having served in the Military since the age of 18 John was no stranger to the world or camping, although his journey through bushcraft was sparked through his trials with PTSD & mental health rather than directly through his service. This transition was paramount in helping him find inner peace and the space to nurture and grow a love of the outdoors into a successful company providing educational courses for new and experienced students.
