- Standards-Based Guide And Outdoor Leadership Certifications | JMB Podcast Episode 37In 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.

Christopher Russell and I discuss the challenges we faced during the first week (spoiler alert: deep snow), bushcraft as resiliency in a changing world and the new Journeyman certification student workbook. Along the way we talk about the three best teachers, differentiate between a vacation and a training scenario, and how bad weather makes things get real right away.

In episode 34 of the JMB Podcast Ed Butler, Christopher Russell and I discuss a simple, low-tech life on the land. I recount a story by Leo Tolstoy titled “How Much Land Does A Man Need” and we discuss some the needs of humans and how they can be obtained relatively cheaply from the land. These needs include food, water, shelter, warmth, and recycling your refuse.

It’s a 21-day wilderness experience with limited gear, limited food, and a whole lot of learning and personal growth. We’ve had a lot of questions about it recently, so this episode is an attempt to answer them. This is a short episode and not an interview, but I wanted to get this out there to answer the questions that have been coming in.
