Outdoor education is a unique approach to teaching with a setting unrivaled. With Alaska's vast wilderness, both aquatic and terrestrial, there is no shortage of classroom space in which to engage students. On today's episode, we invite Alex Bell-Johnson who first came to Alaska as a student with NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) to discuss his experience engaging in scholarship in the epic surroundings of the last frontier. What are the benefits of taking an outdoor education course? How long does it take to go to the bathroom while backpacking? And is it pretentious to say autumn instead of fall? It's the episode you'll need to erect a shale thrown for.Alaskan Beer of the Week: Valdez Krude by Valdez Brewing [http://valdezbrewing.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>

I Went To School In The Mountains

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!
