  • Women In Bushcraft | JMB Podcast Episode 47


    Episode 47 is about women and gender in bushcraft. Christopher and I were joined by Allison Figueroa and Regina Beach, both of whom are participants on the fall semester. They share their insight into the role that gender plays on women getting into the outdoor industry, gear, and the “pink tax” women often pay for gear marketed at them.

    You can follow along with Regina’s adventures, including her bicycle trip from Boston to Masardis, on her blog and podcast at ReginaGBeach.com.

  • What We’ve Been Up To | JMB Podcast Episode 43


    We’ve been out on the land and off the grid for a month and a half, so this is the first podcast in a while. In it I talk with Christoper and Ed about what we’ve all been up to. For me, it’s been the Wilderness Canoe Expedition Semester, from which I just returned. We recorded this on the tailgate of Ed’s new side by side.

      We just returned from an epic canoe trip on Quebec’s Bonaventure River. For episode 42 of the podcast, Colin Clifford, Christopher Russell and I discussed the trip over coffee in the Guide Shack.

    • Spring 2018 Wilderness Bushcraft Semester Wrap-Up | JMB Podcast Episode 41


      Episode 41 was recorded in the Guide Shack on June 14th, the final night of our spring, 2018 Wilderness Bushcraft Semester course, our 43rd long-term program. I was joined by Christopher Russell, as well as Tom and James who were both students on the course. We talk about our final trip, their experiences on the semester and the Journeyman Guide Certification. We tried to keep this episode family-friendly, but James dropped an F-bomb in the middle somewhere, so it’s got the explicit language box checked.

          Traditional Maine Guide Canoeing: Episode 38 of the Jack Mountain Bushcraft Podcast. On a blustery Saturday morning, Christopher and I discussed the role of the canoe in northern Maine.
