In this episode of the Primitive Camping and Bushcraft Podcast, host Chris Speir is joined by the outdoor enthusiast and content creator behind Woodsbound Outdoors. Together, they dive deep into the life of a modern outdoorsman navigating the world of social media and survival skills. Woodsbound shares his journey from modest beginnings, experimenting with YouTube videos, to exploding in popularity on platforms like TikTok, where short-form content transformed his brand. The conversation touches on the unique challenges of building a presence online, including the frustrating rise of content piracy and the weird world of fake profiles.

The discussion gets personal, as Woodsbound reflects on his family’s outdoor traditions, his love for wilderness adventures, and the tools and techniques he uses in his videos. Whether it’s choosing the right tarp for shelter, mastering fire-starting with ferro rods, or even navigating the controversies of how "real" survivalists should start fires (lighter vs. primitive methods), the conversation is packed with practical tips and firsthand experience.

Other highlights include:

• Content piracy: How it affects outdoor creators and tips on how to protect your work.
• Camping gear essentials: Woodsbound’s favorite setup for minimal and ultralight camping, including tarp shelters and hammocks.
• Fire-starting techniques: The importance of practicing with different methods and why the humble lighter is still a go-to tool.
• Food for the trail: Ideas for meals in the wild, from dehydrated foods to summer sausage and pinto beans.
• Water purification: A practical guide on safe water practices in the wilderness, with a focus on filtration and boiling.

The episode wraps up with discussions on future outdoor plans, hunting season preparations, and personal stories of outdoor adventures. Whether you’re looking for gear advice, survival techniques, or just inspiration from seasoned outdoorsmen, this episode offers something for everyone.
