By Land Podcast
The By Land Podcast explores how to have better backcountry experiences and why spending time outside matters in the first place.
The show features conversations with people from across the outdoor world, practical lessons, and personal reflections on backpacking, hiking, hunting, conservation, outdoor skills, and the broader role the outdoors can play in our health, perspective, and everyday lives.
It’s a lifelong exploration of what we can learn from time spent outside, how we can do it better, and what’s worth carrying with us when we come home.
Thanks for being here and spending time with me.
