Spice Up The Backcountry
Season 3 · Episode 12
lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Duration 32:09
The camp stove shouldn’t be where flavour goes to die. We sat down with Liz and Wally from Wanderless Kitchen to share how they turned heirloom South Asian recipes into plant‑based dehydrated meals that pack light, rehydrate fast, and taste like home after a long day on the water or trail. Their journey starts in Lahore’s kitchens, winds through a windy first paddle on Georgian Bay, and lands in a commercial kitchen where “a pinch” gave way to spreadsheets, tilting skillets, and hard‑won texture tests.
We dig into what makes dehydrated meals go wrong—chewy bits, pasty sauces, mushy or underdone rice—and how thoughtful ingredient choices flip the script. Dals became the stars: brown lentils that hold their shape, moong dal that turns silky, and basmati rice that stays long‑grained and separate. You’ll hear the story behind three signature meals—Masur Dal Chawal, Chikor Chole, and Moong Dal Chawal—why they’re all plant‑based, and how limiting oils preserves both flavour and performance in the dehydrator. This isn’t “moon food.” It’s smoky cardamom, cinnamon warmth, and nutty comfort that passes the ultimate test: family approval.
Beyond the recipes, we talk about scaling up without losing soul: renting a commercial kitchen, investing in larger dehydrators, logging every gram for consistency, and learning packaging the hard way so you don’t have to. Community demos at MEC and paddling festivals proved that if people can taste it, they get it—good calories can be delicious calories. If you’ve ever dreaded a bland boil‑in‑bag after a cold paddle or steep portage, this conversation will reset your expectations for backcountry meals.
Explore authentic flavour that travels. Try the holiday bundle—three meals for $40 at wanderlesskitchen.ca through December 10—and stock up for your next trip. If you enjoy the show, tap follow, share it with a paddling friend, and leave us a quick review to help more campers find real food for real adventures.

How A Survival Course Reset A Hollywood Writer’s Life
Season 3 · Episode 11
lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Duration 37:34
What if the comfort you chase is the thing holding you back from real resilience? We sit down with Jay Carson—veteran of U.S. politics, creator behind House of Cards and The Morning Show, and now executive director of the Boulder Outdoor Survival School—to unpack how a minimalist 14-day course can reset your inner compass. From a pandemic power outage that felt apocalyptic to making friction fires and sleeping without a bag, Jay shares the skills and mindset that turned fear into capability.
We explore the philosophy behind Boss: keep the gear list short, keep the learning deep, and move often enough that comfort can’t calcify. Jay explains why “compare down” cuts anxiety, how survival priorities put shelter and fire ahead of food, and why discomfort isn’t danger. If you’ve wondered whether you’re fit enough, his answer might surprise you. Baseline fitness helps, but head and heart make the difference—especially on specialised tracks like the Hunter-Gatherer course where, if you don’t find it, you don’t eat it.
There’s history and scope here too. Boss has operated since 1968 across nearly a million permitted acres in southern Utah, taking students from desert scrub to high forest in a single day’s walk. Jay connects those landscapes to his own, tracing a line from 9/11 and an anthrax exposure to a deeper need for nature’s grounding. He also previews his forthcoming book built on survival priorities—part backcountry guide, part life manual—aimed at anyone ready to rethink comfort, risk, and what truly matters.
If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share the show with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review. It helps more people find their way back outside and back to themselves.

The Craft of Custom Paddles
Season 3 · Episode 2
lundi 29 septembre 2025 • Duration 36:59
Ever wondered why paddlers become so attached to their paddles? The answer lies in the perfect marriage of craftsmanship, personalization, and performance that transforms a wooden tool into an extension of yourself on the water.
Corey and Maria from Haliburton Paddle Shop take us behind the scenes of their passionate journey from working at Haliburton Forest to establishing their own custom paddle-making business in Minden, Ontario. Their story is one of determination, creativity, and a deep understanding of what makes a paddle truly exceptional for each individual paddler.
The magic happens when you realize that paddles aren't one-size-fits-all. As we discover through their expertise, everything from your height and hand size to your paddling style and water conditions influences what makes the perfect paddle for you. Black cherry might be their bestseller with its rich patina, but white ash offers greater stiffness for power strokes, while basswood brings flexibility that reduces fatigue on longer journeys. Each wood type creates a distinct paddling experience, revealing the nuanced relationship between material and performance.
What truly sets Haliburton Paddle Shop apart is their commitment to customization. Their consultation process ensures your paddle fits your specific needs, while their high-end laser engraver opens up endless personalization possibilities – from simple initials to elaborate designs, maple leaf cutouts filled with colored resin, or even wedding guest book paddles that become family heirlooms. All this while maintaining a commitment to sustainability, sourcing wood locally and repurposing every scrap into smaller creations.
Whether you're a seasoned paddler seeking the perfect tool or just beginning your paddling journey, there's something special about wielding a paddle made specifically for you. Visit their shop to experience firsthand how the right paddle can transform your time on the water, or explore their website to begin your custom paddle journey today.
