EP74: 𝐹𝐼𝐸𝐿𝐷 𝑁𝑂𝑇𝐸𝑆 | Bowhunting Antelope ↣ Fred Hammer & Robin Gratz

Episode 74

Monday, November 10, 2025 • Duration 01:30:29

In this episode, Robin, Fred Hammer, and Robin Gratz spend three action-packed days trying to land an African monster. This is no small feat. Historically South Africa has always been packed with high caliber apex predators: Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, hyenas, packs of African wild dogs etc. As a result antelope have developed an incredible skill-set that helps to keep them alive. So, getting close with a bow in hand is sometimes laughably difficult. Nevertheless they manage to close the distance, and let arrows fly.

A big thanks to Fred Hammer from Bowhunting Africa for his fantastic guiding services, and Robin Gratz from Daggaboy films for capturing the adventure.

EP73: The Dick Proenneke Pancakes Episode ↣ Remembering an Icon with K & Monroe

Episode 73

Monday, November 3, 2025 • Duration 01:41:48

To this day, the legend of Dick Proenneke continues through his journals and wonderful footage. However, we were surprised to discover that Dick’s sourdough starter also lives on! What better way to celebrate a life-lived-wild than with sourdough pancakes made with the trusty sourdough jar from his cabin? In this episode, Robin and his wife Hanneke sit down with the cabin’s previous caretakers for 19 years: K Schubeck and Monroe Robinson. They share some of their fondest memories of Dick, while we enjoy his pancake recipe, even topped with wild blueberry jam picked at Twin Lakes, Alaska. Once again, a huge thank you to K and Monroe for such a treat on so many different levels.

Today We are traveling across the world and back in time to Namibia in the South West of Africa... 300 miles from the nearest grocery store, Lyn and Mike Methley raised their family while helping to build the first road through the area in the 1960’s. They lived side by side with the lions, impala, crocodiles and the enormous, but sadly extinct, desert elephants.

This one’s got a bunch of bonkers stories folks so buckle up and never let off the accelerator.

A huge thank-you to Lyn and Mike for their time and stories today!

EP63: Ejler & The Wild-Boar Headcheese ↣ A New Culinary Adventure

Episode 63

Monday, July 7, 2025 • Duration 01:48:12

Back in Episode 11 Ejler shared some memories of farm life on the rural island of Bonholm, Denmark. One story that really struck a chord was the existence of a food called Head-cheese, a magical substance created from the boiled remains of whatever comes out of the head of a pig. Never one to turn down a challenge, Robin provided the head of a wild boar the very next chance he had to harvest one. In this Episode Robin and Ejler reminisce about the sequence of events that brought them to the mysterious flavors of Danish Wild-Boar head cheese. While eating this magical dish they also catch up over their recent adventures in South Africa and Northern California.

A huge thank you to Ejler for the great conversation - and for remembering his mother's old recipe.

EP62: World Record Explorer Riaan Manser ↣ Facing Kidnappers, Landmines & Angry Oceans

Episode 62

Monday, June 23, 2025 • Duration 02:15:21

Today we are sitting down with writer and modern day explorer Riaan Manser. His adventurous journey began the day he decided to quit his job and go for a bike ride... around the entire continent of Africa. This was done without backup, and before personal gps and smartphones were in public circulation. Riaan has since become the holder of numerous world records: first to ride 42000km around Africa, first to lap the islands of Madagascar and Iceland in his kayak, and first to row from Morocco to New York in a 18ft row boat. All this to say having survived through landmines, multiple kidnappings, wild ocean storms, starvation and extreme dehydration — Riaan has a story or two to share with us today.

Once again a huge thankyou to Riaan for sharing his time with us!

Episode 60

Monday, May 26, 2025 • Duration 01:28:23

The fallow deer rut is an all-bows-blazing non-stop action-packed month that’s firmly marked in every South African bowhunter’s calendar. It’s a magical time that testosterone in the fallow population bubbles over and the thickets of the Eastern Cape descend into mating season mayhem. This episode we follow Robin from @thewilddispatch @williamdonian from Wellington Farms and Callum Methley from @kudu_hunt as he experiences the fallow rut for the very first time.

There are also many surprise appearances from previous guests on the podcast, see if you can pick them all out.

EP59: Jandre Strydom ↣ Chasing Protein and Dopamine in the African Mountains

Episode 59

Monday, May 12, 2025 • Duration 02:01:01

An immensely talented bowhunter-spearfisherman from South Africa –Jandre has been honing his skills since the age of 5.

Wherever you're from, when it comes to sourcing protein, there’s an easy way, and there’s hard way… Then there’s Jandre’s way.

An anomaly in the South African hunting community, Jandre hikes many kilometers deep into the mountains to areas with no roads, and no backup. Although he’s harvested many African animals with his bow that would make a talented rifle-hunter blush, it’s the non-native fallow deer that gets Jandre properly fired up.

Robin managed to sit down with Jandre just a few days before the beginning of the fallow deer rut.

A big thank you again to Jandre for fitting us in before a three week mega-trip chasing giant croaking bucks in the mountains.

Check out his YouTube too - lots of new content coming soon.
