Craig takes a much-needed right turn towards Urban Survival in this podcast.  With natural and man-made disasters happening quite frequently, there are varied needs for those in large cities.  Mr. Tony Torre is uniquely positioned to discuss these issues.  Living through several disasters in Florida, and teaching Urban Survival, gives him some insight to help those with this topic.

Craig sat down with Mr. Joe Lacefield, Regional Wildlife Biologist, for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife to discuss science and myth surrounding several species of wildlife.  Lots to take in but in summary, we talked about grouse population, deer rut activity  (several surprises here), wild turkey and elk restoration, and...you better believe we asked him about mountain lions.

Craig recently taught some material to a large military unit.  If you have ever been around military personnel, you know they love acronyms.  In this podcast, he goes over some acronyms that NRS uses in our teaching and one really sharp new one that was picked up from another podcast.  Put these to use in the way that best helps you!

Craig is more than pleased to interview Mr. Les Stroud.  There is no one like him.  Filmmaker, musician, survival teacher he is these things and so much more.  In this interview, Les talks about the differences in shooting video when he started vs. now, his music and the role it plays in his life AND survival situations (that discussion is surprising), and yes, we could not pass up the opportunity to discuss Sasquatch aka Bigfoot.  We cannot thank Les enough for taking the time to come on with us.
