The Hayes family lives a very different life. With three YouTube channels in one family they have the freedom to go where their outdoor passions take them.

First I chat to Liz about the pros and con's of such a life and then Clay (winner of Alone season 8). We dive deeper into the ethics of bowhunting in the US and raising kids in such a unique way.

Clay is a highly experienced American woodsman. We chat about his upbringing and the experiences that prepared him for the show, like hunting and fishing as a kid, his masters in wildlife ecology, 17 years in the Idaho Fish and Game Department and the YouTuber lifestyle that allows his family to 'live the dream' in wild and remote places.

I linked up with Australian adventurer Lucy Barnard in Central America as she hiked past the halfway mark of her 30,000km hike from the southern tip of South America to the northern tip of Alaska.

I've known Lucy for a while now and we unpacked her adventure while hiking for three days up an active volcano in Guatemala while her hiking companion, Wombat (blue heeler cattle dog), was recovering from a foot injury at a local vet.

I got to know Naomi closely as we worked together for two weeks as survival instructors for Desert Island Survival on an uninhabited island off Panama. This is a summation of those deep convos in our hammocks after 'work'.

Strap in. We cover some interesting territory-

-survival coping mechanisms

-bisuexual polygamy

-rape, extreme trauma, and the aftermath

-hardship bonding and more.

Naomi has experienced amazing things in the survival world despite finding her passion recently and still being in her twenties. Labelled 'Bushcraft Barbie', she doesn't fit the fashion-designer stereotype.......at all.

From bear encounters (bear and Bear), to dealing with the media, to post partum depression she's open and honest about her fears and failures.

How close can you camp to water and be safe? Is it safe to fish from the bank? I answer these and other questions with experienced northern fisherman and Youtuber Andy, from Andy's Fishing Wild Cook.

Plenty of no BS croc warries too.

Luke lives by the motto 'One Life One Chance', where he pursues adventure as if he had five years left to live. Climbing mountains, rowing oceans, base jumping, the list is endless and in between he writes books and speaks about them to recharge the bank account for the next one. He's just published his third adventure memoir and they're all highly worth a read. His wife Elise is just releasing her first book too!
