We're finally back for 2018 and I reckon this one is going to be a cracker. I had the opportunity to interview Tom Dunn - a 22-year-old adventurer who is about to embark on what he is calling Australia's Longest Triathlon at the start of September. We get into the why, how, when etc. and really delve deep into Tom's mentality around this trek where he is raising funds for Melbourne Indigenous Transition School. Enjoy!

Recently in Melbourne, a hiker's body was recovered from the popular hiking location Werribee Gorge. Without wanting to speculate over the details of how, why and what, something I did notice on social media were people's reactions and how some were debating whether to visit Werribee Gorge ever again, going out hiking/camping as much as they do or if they should be far more careful than they actually are. I'm a huge believer that safety in the outdoors is paramount, but an unfortunate incident shouldn't deter people from enjoying what they love to do.

In this episode, I discuss decision making in the outdoors. Right now in Melbourne we are copping a heavy downfall of rain which has pretty much kept everyone from enjoying a hike or camping trip. However, regardless of where you are located, making the right decision in the outdoors regardless if it keeps you from doing what you ideally want to, is always the right decision. Particularly when it comes to your own safety and the safety of others.

We hope you enjoy!

In this episode, our host and brand manager got to chat with newly formed female only outdoor group - Melbourne Girls Outside - about all things day hiking gear. From day packs to food & water, and everything in between, John goes through everything we believe to be necessary when heading into the outdoors for a day hike. We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode, we chat with outdoor enthusiast Tristan O'Brien. He is currently walking 1900kms from Adelaide to Tasmania for his campaign - 1900 Footprints where he aims to raise money for the 1900 endangered species in Australia today. We chat about the why and how behind his fundraiser, the challenges he has faced so far, what he gets from being in the outdoors and what sort of preparation is required to embark on a trek of this magnitude. Enjoy!
