The roe deer guy

This podcast is another collaboration between myself and Ryan O'Connor from the Stag Roar podcast.
In this episode Ryan talked to Ben who previously worked as a hunting guide/culler in Scotland.
Ben's instagram page is a way of getting people to appreciate the necessity for responsible wildlife management and that hunting maintains healthy animal populations for future generations.
Thanks again to Ryan for the collaboration.

Rescue in the mountains - Land Search and Rescue NZ

This podcast is from two interviews I did with local Land Search and Rescue team members based in Queenstown.
I spoke to Tarn Pilkington, a volunteer with Wakatipu Search and Rescue Alpine Cliff Rescue team about a rescue he was involved in when two climbers needed help on the Remarkables in poor weather.
I also spoke to Chrissy Schreiber who is a volunteer with Wakatipu Search and Rescue, about what Land Search and Rescue does, lost person behaviour, the challenges of a volunteer organisation and more.
They both tell me about their own outdoor adventures and Chrissy gives me advice for the upcoming Luxmore Grunt.
I made attempts to contact the two climbers that Tarn helped rescue, but after speaking to police and mountain clubs I was unsuccessful, so Tarn's story will have to do.
Link to a story about the rescue.
A special thanks to Johnny Franklin, General Manager Partnerships at New Zealand Land Search and Rescue for organising the interviews.
