In episode 37 of the JMB Podcast, we discuss the Journeyman Certification, our standards-based guide and outdoor leader certification. To get there, we start with a history of the bushcraft/primitive skills/survival industry, how the Bulletin Of Primitive Technology and the internet got us to the point where the industry is at now, and the difference between attendance of a course and mastery of the material. We also touch on the history of the Wilderness Bushcraft Semester and how being an elite performer doesn’t necessarily make you an effective teacher.
