- 55 - 54: Alone UK watch along commentary
The TV show 'Alone' has been a big hit worldwide and the American version has been going strong for 10 seasons now. This year is the first time that there has been a version produced by a British production company and featuring British contestants. So we have recorded a commentary for the first episode of the series.
Richard Prideaux talks through the concept of this TV show, choice of location and shares some thoughts about how it is all put together. There are bear encounters, mishaps with tools and we wonder just how far away the production team really are.....

- PatreonWed, 23 Aug 2023 - 54 - 53: Embracing Discomfort and Training for the Worst
We discuss the benefits of embracing discomfort and deliberately training in self-inflicted, less than perfect conditions. This method leads to increased resilience and a better understanding of how your body and mind will react if you encounter difficulties when you least expect it.
As humans we tend to appreciate comfort in our lives, we function better when everything is just as we like it to be. This doesn't just relate to things like where we sleep and the clothes we wear but also maintaining our perfect temperature and not being in pain.
However whenever we spend time pushing our boundaries outdoors we will inevitably end up in discomfort at some point and it can make or break your day. The good news is that you can train for periods of hardship and it will help you on the day when you are involuntarily put into that position. Take the slightly steeper route, carry just a bit of extra weight in your pack on a local trail, put yourself into hardship when it's safe to do so and learn how to keep your head ready for when it happens and you aren't expecting it.

Richard Prideaux talks with Andy Kirkpatrick about all things big wall, winter expeditions and doing things the hard way.
It's safe to say that Andy has made his way through life so far by pushing himself and deliberately pitting himself against his own barriers. From a young age he learned to climb and handle himself in the outdoors and progressed from there, teaching himself the ropework skills he would need to climb big walls like El Capitan. Since then Andy has become a well-known and award winning British climber, writer and speaker.
This episode is a little bit different to usual but we really hope that you enjoy it, Andy has done a lot to talk about in his life and this only really covers the tip of the iceberg.
Useful info: Chossy means loose, unstable, soft or very overgrown rock which can't really be trusted.

This episode Richard Prideaux goes into great depth about the importance of not making assumptions about your gear. Let's say that you've bought a brand new stove for an outing - have you tested it before relying on it to sterilise your water and cook your food? You grabbed a bag which should contain your small emergency kit -did you look inside to make sure everything was there and in a usable condition?
We've all 'been there, done that' in terms of forgetting a small item like a fork, and having to make do or borrow one, but next time it could be more serious unless you pick up on the little reminders that we can all be human.

Delving a little bit further into why Instagram (and tiktok, twitter, facebook etc.) is not your training provider, inspired by a conversation that Richard Prideaux had with our friend Luke
This is not to say that there isn't a bounty of useful and legitimate knowledge out there on the internet, just a few pointers on how to sift out the people who are thinking less about how what they say will be used and more about the likes, shares and exposure.

A recent event encountered by Richard Prideaux involving a dog, a chainsaw and quick reactions was the inspiration for this latest episode of Modern Outdoor Survival. We delve into reflexes and our acute stress responses as humans.
Richard and Amy talk in detail about how your body reacts to acute stress and the importance of practicing potentially life saving sequences in order to manipulate your body into reacting well. This isn't a quick fix or easy way of doing things, but it is something worth dedicating time to.

Richard Prideaux sits down with Alistair, a local friend and someone who has been through a lot of training, to sit in the woods and discuss what to look for when seeking out instruction.
Learning any new skill can be daunting and when it is related to your safety and survival it is even more important to seek out appropriate instruction which not only meets your needs in terms of the level it will bring you up to, but also in learning style and depth of knowledge behind the trainer.

We often come across content about bug out bags and people setting off to adventure around the world, but something which isn't always talked about alongside the flat lays...is fitness.
The ability to carry your gear comfortably, stay upright when walking over difficult terrain, pull out an extra 30% or more of effort when required, and heal quickly from injury is all related to fitness.
We talk about diet, strength and aerobic training and how these are beneficial to all of your activities.

In Africa he encountered hazards presented by the environment, wildlife and people. Barry highlights how important his early career was for training in how to deal with difficult situations on these expeditions, and talks about some of the lasting ingrained behaviours. He has lived and worked in environmental extremes from the equator to the Arctic circle and now resides in Southwest Ireland where the predominate weather is rain. Barry writes for the Shooting Times and Country magazine, manages deer, undertakes some less hazardous geology work and handcrafts beautiful knives.

In this episode Richard Prideaux takes a close look at power and technology and their use in the outdoors.
Understanding any item of gear is important before taking it somewhere in a capacity where it's failure or your lack of knowledge about it could result in a bad situation. Before taking any technology into the outdoors it is worthwhile conducting a quick assessment of your choice of equipment, what you want/need it to do and whether it is up to the job. Alongside this assessment you need to know how to use your gear effectively, the limitations of it, power requirements and how to maintain it in the field. We delve into the world of technology and power in the outdoors and still only scratch the surface.

- Our PatreonThu, 17 Mar 2022 - 34 - 33: The 3 Principles of Modern Outdoor Survival
At the end of every episode we share our 3 principles of modern outdoor survival. They seem fairly self-explanatory but, we decided to give you our spin on what they mean to us. It also seems like a suitable opening episode for season 2.
Remember "making good decisions at the right time" means using your knowledge and experience to ensure that your endeavours go the direction which you want.
Prioritising training over shiny new equipment doesn't mean to not buy equipment which you need, or even want. However it does mean that skills are extremely important and increasing knowledge and skills related to your chosen outdoor endeavour is generally more useful than the latest gadget.
And always remember....Instagram is not your training provider. It can be a source of information when assessed, and it is a fantastic source of inspiration....but it is also full of images which don't reveal the whole truth about their creator.

In this episode of Modern Outdoor Survival Richard and Amy talk about utility. Multitools, internet ultimate tools and survival tools.
When preparing to go out and undertake any activity, it is wise to select your tools carefully, ensuring that they will get the job done and work with your mode of transportation and limitations such as space and weight. Multitools can be very tempting when walking a long way to your destination and carrying everything on your back. However choose carefully; there are many products now which are advertised as being capable of everything from cutting branches to removing wheel nuts to eating a steak. Some of these stand up to scrutiny and are adequate for several different jobs, but rarely are they as good as their dedicated to one job counterparts. It is also worthwhile practicing the use of any tools in a 'safe' environment, get used to the limitations and find workarounds to common issues. This will make usage in the field much more effective.

In this episode of Modern Outdoor Survival Richard Prideaux talks open and honestly about poo. Take this as your warning if you share this podcast with family or friends, we don't use adult language but we are open, frank and a little graphic in this episode.
Everybody has to go at some point in the day, and if you plan on being outside for extended periods of time, then you need to also plan for the inevitable moment when you need to poop. It is worth noting that there isn't just one method for going when outdoors, it can actually be influenced by the location you are in, your physical condition and fitness, and camp codes of conduct. There are several key things to think about and plan ahead for before drinking that extra strong coffee.
What particular guidance is given about pooping in the area you are in? Does it have to be packed out, can you bury it, or is it a smearing on the rock location?
Where exactly are you going to go? Not right next to a water source or footpath, but possibly close to a tree if you are in need of support.
How are you going to effectively clean up to limit potential hygiene issues?

- Our PatreonMon, 13 Dec 2021 - 26 - 25: SNOW - Winter conditions and their unique challenges
For the twenty fifth episode of Modern outdoor Survival we take a look at snow. Richard covers layering systems and staying warm in the cold, water resources, and some of the other dangers associated with winter conditions.
It is now the season (in the Northern hemisphere) when ice climbers, skiiers and those who like to trek around wearing snowshoes really come out of the woodwork. It is also the time of year when people try to continue with their regular activities regardless of the conditions on the ground. This is a fantastic thing to do as it increases experiences and knowledge of how to be well prepared and how to deal with a unique set of problems. However, don't take it as lightly as those childhood memories of sledging and hot chocolates in cosy cafes.
We all know that when there is snow, it is going to be cold, very cold. This isn't just a frosty morning which warms up, when you can dry out in the inevitable sun, this is cold which may never warm up. Taking steps to ensure that your layering system will work and you are wearing footwear which allows blood to circulate well are vital, as well as understanding your water resources in these conditions.

Richard Prideaux discusses the importance of maintaining gear and planning ahead as much as possible.
Readiness can apply to all facets of life, be that the every day, or the once in a lifetime trip. It is about maintenance of gear and skills to ensure that when you need them, they are ready and function as you expect. It is also about ensuring that you have taken the right equipment with you for the situations that you will be in.

How to decipher outdoor qualifications and understand what they stand for.
Qualifications, like most things in life, have an up-side and a down-side. They can be a marker of competence in a given field, and illustrate a measured competence level. However they are often based upon a single day of assessment and cannot be used standalone as a guarantee that a person has maintained their skill level as time has passed.

We discuss how to choose a rucksack, what to do to check the fit and why some have side pockets but others are more streamlined.
Rucksacks are one of the best ways to carry large or heavy loads and have been adapted over the years to become ergonomic for all body shapes and sizes. The most important aspects of using a pack is ensuring that it fits correctly. The back length and distance between waist belt and shoulder straps can be the difference between walking with ease and having a pack which you almost forget about, and having a tortuous experience which ends up with blisters, difficulty breathing and feeling as though your spine has been compressed. If you have only ever experienced the latter, then this episode is for you!

The ins and outs of using all of your senses and external information to avoid being caught in a bad situation, whether that is life threatening weather conditions or a dangerous location.
There are inherent risks with everything in life. If you are observant and can read the signs leading up to large events, you can lessen the effects of taking risks by preparing for, or avoiding bad situations.
Observation isn't just a case of seeing what is happening, but also using other senses, and in some cases calling upon resources like weather reports, which enable you to predict possible future scenarios and plan out best for a trip.
Some useful books mentioned in the show are -Left Of Bang and CODIAC handbook

For episode seventeen we talk about carrying water, by bladder or bottle, there are different products out there to suit all. Richard Prideaux shares his experiences about what works and what fails when put through it's paces in real-life situations.
Carrying water is something which you will nearly always need to do if spending time outdoors. Chances are that you have either landed on your feet with a system which works for you, or you are always on the lookout for something new which may solve your current water carrying problems.
We talk about our experiences with metal, solid plastic, and the flexible plastic bottles, their up and downsides. Water bladders have become very popular and are a go-to for many hikers and outdoorspeople for the ease of access to drinking water, but they do have their drawbacks too.

We are talking about modification in this episode of Modern Outdoor Survival.
Sometimes an item of gear can be made better by a simple bit of paracord. A small sewing task can alleviates an annoyance which in normal situations isn't close to a problem, but in a survival situation could break you. We talk about a few different things which can be done to modify, or repair gear both at home and in the field.

Whether a flashlight or a torch; if you use it for sport, work or leisure, lighting which enables us to function in the dark is important.
We go through features of different lighting, what may be important, and trade-offs which sometimes need to be made in order to buy the correct tool for you.

Whether you are away for a month or a day, the weight of the kit that you carry and transport with you can have a real impact on your quality of life during that period of travel.
For the fourteenth episode of the Modern Outdoor Survival podcast, we talk about kilograms.
This isn't a rant about units of measurement but an episode all about weight. We talk about how much is too much and what that means, alongside where you can easily make savings and how technology has helped with this over the years.

Everybody has, at some point or other, invested in an item of gear which they neither needed, or actually found useful. In this episode Richard Prideaux goes through some of the gear options out there.
Everyone has a corner of a drawer, cupboard or room which acts as a graveyard for purchases that haven't worked out. The attraction of shiny gear which can sing and dance and quote Shakespeare whilst processing a tree can often be too much to resist, but the phrase "too good to be true" is based on fact.
The thought process behind investing in an item is a winding path, it is worth weighing up whether that item will be useful, is necessary for the trip you have in mind, and is worth any penalties it may cause (weight etc.) Whether you are going to rely on a stove to feed you, a filter to make your water safe, or a sleep system to enable you to get enough sleep to function safely, it is worthwhile doing research and analysing any recommendations which you read.

One of our regular Q&A episodes where we answer questions from our listeners.
We answer questions about incorporating dogs into the MOS strategy, what this entails and how we have handled it in the past. We also discuss sourcing drinking water and how to make it safe. There are many different reasons why water may not be safe to drink right from the source, but there are also endless ways of making it safe. We consider the options and which ones suit different applications.
We talk about solar panels and their pros and cons in survival situations, it is hard to escape the need for charging devices in the modern world, but there are some ways to do it which are better than others. Finally we talk about security. When spending time in the outdoors, often seen as more hazardous than a high street, it is easy to forget the human factor. People consider injury, illness, and loss of equipment, but bumping into a person who wishes harm upon you isn't something which crops up in conversation as much as it possibly should. We talk about when and where we feel that a higher level of attention is required.

Do you know how to get help in an emergency if you are outdoors, in a remote area, inaccessible by road?
In this episode we talk about help, Richard draws upon his decade of previous experience volunteering for a local mountain rescue team. In emergency situations do you know who you should be calling to receive expert help? How would you contact somebody who can assist you? What should you do if you are in a scenario where you are awaiting help?
The wild areas of the globe attract adventure. They are places to be seen and experienced, however this should be done with eyes wide open to every eventuality and with a plan in place as to what should occur if something goes wrong. Wherever you go exploring you should always be aware of what help is available to you if you need it, and how to raise the alarm if needs be. If you are travelling in a group, this should be common knowledge amongst you all as a contingency. As they say, fail to plan, plan to fail.

Richard talks through the gear that he takes for a weekend of teaching and living outdoors.
When you are leading a group, ensuring that what you take with you is reliable, tried and tested is important to a successful trip. The last thing that you need is to become distracted by discomfort, or grumpy and unhelpful due to hunger.
Richard talks us through, top to toe on the clothing he wore, where he slept and how he ate whilst teaching 5 people who had very little real life experience living in the woods.

We talk about foraging in this episode. The importance of gathering food to our ancestors, our evolution from there, and the current availability of wild food in the form of edible plants and funghi. Finding food is a skill which is in our DNA, it is one of the driving factors behind our existence today, our ancestors survived because they learned how to identify food.
Foraging can be safe and it can provide a large portion of food in your diet, or supplement your rations when you are out. It can also be deadly, and it is important to fully acknowledge the risks and be prepared to put in the effort to learn about what you plan to eat.
Although there are some incredibly nutritious plants available, none should necessarily be relied upon in advance for providing food unless you can be certain that they will be at your location and uncontaminated.

- Our PatreonMon, 09 Aug 2021 - 8 - 7: FABRIC - Layering systems to stay safe and synthetic vs natural fibres
How do clothing layering systems work, are synthetic or natural fabrics more suited to your planned activity and what is the deal with waterproof vs breathable .
There is an age old argument about how to remain safe in the outdoors related to clothing choice. Layers are still the accepted way of ensuring that you can keep your body running at optimum temperature without having to put too much energy into thermoregulation. Starting off an activity feeling just a little bit cold is the ideal, as you move you generate heat, and if you have played it right this heat will be enough to get your body to a comfortable temperature. Spare layers enable you to maintain that temperature if you stop for breaks, to take photos or prepare for the next stretch.
Another contentious topic is whether to wear synthetic or natural fabrics. Each has their place, especially in temperate climates where the weather fluctuates throughout the year. We go into details about which situations may lead you to wearing what type of clothing and also cover whether waterproofing or breathability is more important.

In Episode Six we discuss energy, more specifically food. What you put into your body when pushing it to work hard is important and there are a lot of options.
The amount of food that you carry will be influenced by the activity that you are going to do, but it is always best to prepare to support yourself for longer than you expect to as unplanned trip extensions aren't uncommon. When planning for a trip, think about storage of your food, and, more importantly, what you know will work for you. A new diet might seem like a good idea, but as your body adapts it can lead to life-threatening conditions.
A part of energy which is often underestimated are electrolytes. It is possible to be poisoned by water, as too much can dilute the important minerals, salts and sugars which are also found in your bloodstream.

Wherever you are, it is important to know your location, and oftentimes the direction you need to travel in order to further your journey.
The podcast covers why maps are so useful, and the importance of not only carrying one, but knowing how to use it to navigate and potentially communicate your location to others. We also talk about how to translate a map into the real world in front of you, whether that is with a compass or not.
Richard lists 3 important navigation skills, and then goes on to share information about how to best use GPS devices and more traditional means of navigation.

Spending prolonged periods of time outdoors inevitably leads to a need for shelter, whether from rain, wind or even sun. In this episode we discuss different shelter options for both short and longer term usage.
Talking points include how there isn't one 'best' shelter, as factors are extremely changeable the world over, not to mention the personal preferences when it comes to tents, tarps, hammocks and sleeping simply on the ground.
We go over other forms of shelter which should be taken advantage of, if the need arises, and also about planning ahead so that there is always the safety of shelter close to hand.

Richard goes through the stages of making and using a bowdrill - and why it may not actually be the ultimate survival tool.
There is no denying that keeping warm is vitally important in many survival situations, but the method used to create that warmth can be much more simple. There does also have to be a question asked about why you may have ended up in a situation whereby you have no other methods of making fire.
Fire is also useful for other activities, water purifying, cooking food etc. but again, is an open fire the best tool for the job? Camping stoves have come a long way, fuel is often easy to purchase and much less energy and time are required on your part to create hot water and food using a stove.

In this first full episode of Modern Outdoor Survival, Richard talks about attitudes towards survival, preparedness and personal resilience - and maybe why so many people seem to get it wrong.
It all comes down to making decisions - making good decisions in the planning and preparation phase before you head out, making good decisions when you're out on the ground (or on the water) and even making good decisions when you get back home.
The realistic modern survival mindset is not about waiting for disaster to occur then doing whatever you can to solve it - it is about making the right choices to reduce the risk of that disaster from ever arising.
