- Wilderness Survival, Sustainable Living & Other Sauna Stories in Finland w/ Huck Middeke
Huck Midekke is a Wilderness Guide and Survival Instructor based in Eastern Finland. Huck is the founder of NordicByNature which provides wilderness guide services, sustainability consulting, and survival workshops around the world, as well, he is Chairman of the International Wilderness Guide Association. Huck's latest endeavour is the establishment of Nomad Town/ Resilience Hub, an off-grid, minimalist, mobile, community that lies on the outskirts of Joensuu, Finland. We discuss much theory and philosophy of survival and it’s importance connect with nature in our anthropocentric world. Huck also introduces us to some methods of wilderness survival practice like the S.T.O.P method, the 6 Survival priorities, the 8 Shields Model and the practice of the #FullMoonFullStop which he suggests to use in daily life. I think we might be exploring some new frontiers here in the world of podcasting, at least on this show because our guest Huck is joining us from a sauna in Northern Finland. Enjoy!

- Ecologizing Education: Estella Kuchta and Sean Blenkinsop
