I am almost caught up on all the DSO podcasts. I have really been enjoying them. Especially when I am in the bunk with all the noisy kids and also when I am editing. I like the show because you really have achieved in giving us the feeling of going on mini adventures without ever physically doing anything. Good old auditory adventures. Trail magic is great, he talks us right along as if we were there with him. Makes me think about doing it myself.
It’s really nice to have a high quality podcast on the outdoors. Your years in radio and tv is really showing itself. I am a little behind on listening to the podcasts but I really enjoyed the one on reversing falls and kayaking. I love to kayak the coast by Fort Myers and doing the spring runs in central florida such as Rock Springs Run. I also bike and run 2-3 times per week but I’ve kind of topped out at 5 miles with the running and I’m basically love outdoor activities in general. I suppose that’s why I like this show. Keep up the good work.
This is a great podcast. I’m almost current and really enjoying the progress. It’s great to either read or listen to outdoor stuff for real people. Without setting records, or making your favorite outdoor activity into a competition, you can still enjoy yourself. For example, the grandfather with his grandson and a kite was an excellent piece.
I’m primarily a mountain biker and hiker, but I scuba dive, spear fish, play tennis, and fly fish. I’m not particularly good at anything, but I have a good time. I’m a new dad. My boy doesn’t know it yet, but he’s going to have a grand time growing up!
Hello Gary.
Ive been enjoying your podcast. I listen to a few at a time while I weld at work. I just listened to a couple while folding laundry. Multi-use podcast. Excellent.
Youve managed to combine the main themes of my other favorite podcasts, and roll them into one. Audio adventures, interviews, experiences, and that always fun aspect of planting seeds of “just get out there and do something”. One thing I really appreciate is your desire to talk to every day people. Thats one thing that lacks in the other podcasts I am familiar with. Keep up the good work.
Hi Gary
Really great podcast, which I like listening to. Over here in ’sunny’ Wales, we have lots of opportunities to get outside and do stuff, I enjoy kayaking (loved reversing falls edition), mountain biking and walking, and have started taking my son out and about. This podcast is an inspiration, and wake up call in one. Thanks very much
I Love the show and can’t wait for the next episode. I love listening to outdoor adventures whether it’s kayaking, skiing, hiking or running.They all motivate me to grab my gear and head out. As we get older I’m finding its getting harder to motivate people to go do the things they used to do. I hear so many people saying, oh I used to run, or I used to hike. I did some checking on the badwater ultramarathon in Death Valley. Did you know that the average age of the runner of this 134 mile race is about 40 yrs. We are never too old to enjoy the outdoors. I ran into a guy climbing Mt. Whitney who was 70 years old. I’m only 46 and just getting into my prime.
Keep up the great work.

Hi Gary, great to meet with you yesterday and to get caught up. I went right home and started listening to your podcasts, it’s going to take me a while to get to them all but it remings of driving in my truck all those years when you were hosting mainstreet on the drive home. Brought back many fond memories. Let’s stay in touch.
Don’t forget to check out whostolemybike.com, it’s my son Geordan’s web page and he has some of his art on there.
Hi. I love the blog. I network for different online companys and one is an adventure travel site. Was wondering if you were interested in being a beta tester. You could post photos and information of the places you have taken photos at.
Let me know if you interested.
Thanks,
Mae
Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how much I enjoy the podcast and all the hardwork that goes into making it. I find you personable and it is a joy to hear your voice with every new podcast. I guess the best thing I can say is that the podcast makes me want to go outside. Again thanks.
I was so pleased to find such a high quality unbiased podcast. I appreciate the way you touch on a wide variety of activities and issues in a very professional yet entertaining manner.
As a past President and Past Executive Director of the Outdoor Writers of Canada I have a fond appreciation for our natural heritage and publish a blog that focuses on relevant events and issues that impact wildlife and their habitat…including a few humorus stories along the way.
Love the podcast. I listen when I can and have jumped here and there to listen to various episodes.
You mentioned in the last episode that you always bring your recorder when you go out. I’m wondering if you could spend a few minutes sometime talking about what equipment you use and the process of recording in the field. Also, do you do any nature sound/natural sound recording outside the interview work - if not, do you think you might interview someone involved with that work?
