In a continuation of our outdoor education spotlight, if you thought a month long course in the wilderness was "in tents" from last week's episode, hold on to your butts! We invite Durango on the program today to discuss his semester long course through NOLS covering a wide array of skills including wilderness medicine, backcountry skiing, white water canoeing, backpacking and rock climbing. What happens when you capsize a canoe in white water? Why should you never rock climb with muddy shoes? And how many golden carrots do you need when you pop the question? It's the episode so great you won't need a second opinion on!Alaskan Beer of the Week: 24 Karat Lager by The Last Frontier Brewing Company [https://lastfrontierbrew.com] Music By: Blackwater Railroad Company [www.blackwaterrailroad.com] and Scott Buckley [https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckley]Support Us on Patreon: [www.patreon.com/thelastfrontier] <a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/thelastfrontier">Support the show</a>

A Semester in the Wild

Your two hosts of this podcast work as professional guides in the Alaskan outdoor tourism industry and started this podcast as a fun way to keep busy during the pandemic summer of 2020. With uncertainty in what employment might look like, Danny and Andrew still wanted to share the beauty of Alaska with people and this podcast was a good way to achieve that goal. Alaska is an incredible place everybody should put on their destination bucket list. Each episode opens with a beer review highlighting a local Alaskan brewery and then tackles a different topic relating to what makes Alaska such a unique place in the world. With all the fun being had drinking Alaskan brews and sharing fascinating information about the Last Frontier State, what started as a fun short term project has morphed into a long term endeavor. With this decision, investments were made in much better production equipment and the sound quality drastically improves starting in Phase II of the podcast with Episode 17 (Feb 21, 2021 release date). We hope you enjoy the content and strongly encourage you to visit Alaska in the future!
