This week I had a great time with Holly Robertson. She is a 24-year-old bushcraft expert, nomadic adventurer, and the youngest person to run a survival school in Australia. Based out of Byron Bay, Holly teaches life-saving skills to backpackers and nature-lovers through her immersive bush survival camps.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What exactly a “survival school” is and how hers stands out in Australia • The basics of bush survival: fire-making, shelter-building, and more • Life in a vintage 1970s caravan and what it's like living off-grid • How Holly found her path in wilderness survival and who inspired her • The real dangers (and myths) of the Australian bush • Her commune-style community and the wild creatures that share her home including a very vocal cockatoo • Backpackers popping into her world, and the joy of sharing bush knowledge • Her many adventures and experiences.

Holly is a fascinating blend of calm confidence and wild spirit, and this conversation was as unpredictable and refreshing as the bush itself. You're going to love it.
