By Land Podcast
This podcast is about learning how to have better backcountry experiences and understanding why spending time outside matters in the first place.
I have conversations with people from diverse outdoor backgrounds to learn from them and hear their personal stories. I cover everything from backpacking, hiking, hunting, conservation, and outdoor skills to the broader role the outdoors can play in our health, perspective, and everyday lives.
Thanks for listening!

Joe Wilkins is the author of a recently published book called "Gates of the Arctic National Park: Twelve Years of Wilderness Exploration." For more years than you and I can imagine, Joe Wilkins has explored, guided, trained Park Rangers, and helped educate as many people as possible about the riches of his beloved National Park. You'll love hearing Joe talk about his book, his experiences in the backcountry, and what he's learned over the many decades he's spent in the wilds of Alaska.
