Going through the items in a client's bugout bag - and offering, erm, constructive criticism.
A different episode to usual, this week Richard is tearing apart a bugout bag -and not just any bug out bag, but one which was purchased by a listener and supporter of the show.
We go through item by item, discussing the pros and cons of what has been included and which are going to realistically be of use when “bugging out”.

the role of personal fitness in survival situations.
We often come across content about bug out bags and people setting off to adventure around the world, but something which isn’t always talked about alongside the flat lays…is fitness.
The ability to carry your gear comfortably, stay upright when walking over difficult terrain, pull out an extra 30% or more of effort when required, and heal quickly from injury is all related to fitness.
We talk about diet, strength and aerobic training and how these are beneficial to all of your activities.

The lowdown on sleeping bags and camping quilts.
This week on Modern Outdoor Survival we talk about sleeping bags and quilts. Rather than naming our favourites, we thought that we would get back to basics and go over what exactly makes a good sleeping bag, which materials and fillings are best in different environments and situations and Richard introduces you to some of the nature on the smallholding.

Hunting deer and surviving Africa with Barry Stoffell..
A guest episode with Barry Stoffell, a hardrock exploration geologist who has led groups as first boots on the ground in some very interesting places. In Africa he encountered hazards presented by the environment, wildlife and people. Barry highlights how important his early career was for training in how to deal with difficult situations on these expeditions, and talks about some of the lasting ingrained behaviours.
He has lived and worked in environmental extremes from the equator to the Arctic circle and now resides in Southwest Ireland where the predominate weather is rain. Barry now writes for the Shooting Times and Country magazine, manages deer, undertakes some less hazardous geology work and handcrafts beautiful knives.

Powering electronics in the outdoors.
This episode takes a close look at power and technology and their use in the outdoors.
Before taking any technology into the outdoors it is worthwhile conducting a quick assessment of your choice of equipment.
Understanding how to use any gear is important before taking it somewhere in a capacity where it’s failure or your lack of knowledge about it could result in a critical situation. If you are putting your life in the hands of any item of gear then you need to ensure that you are prepared to maintain it and keep it in optimum condition. This means understanding it’s power requirements and having plans in place to keep it operating. We delve into the world of technology and power in the outdoors and still only scratch the surface.

Our 3 principles of Modern Outdoor Survival.
At the end of every episode we share our 3 principles of modern outdoor survival. They seem fairly self-explanatory but, we decided to give you our spin on what they mean to us. It also seems like a suitable opening episode for season 2.
Remember “making good decisions at the right time” means using your knowledge and experience to ensure that your endeavours go the direction which you want.
Prioritising training over shiny new equipment doesn’t mean to not buy equipment which you need, or even want. However it does mean that skills are extremely important and increasing knowledge and skills related to your chosen outdoor endeavour is generally more useful than the latest gadget.
And always remember….Instagram is not your training provider. It can be a source of information when assessed, and it is a fantastic source of inspiration….but it is also full of images which don’t reveal the whole truth about their creator.

The Prime Meridian and understanding position formats for navigation.
The end of the alphabet and a bit of a stretch for the letter ‘z’ as we talk about the Prime Meridian and position format. We go from drawing lines on an orange to different types of position format and when it is appropriate to use them.

Talking to our friend Terry about Cooper's Colour Code and situational awareness in the outdoors.
Yellow is the prompt for episode 31 of Modern Outdoor Survival, yellow as in the stage of awareness on Cooper’s colour code. This time we are joined by Terry, a good friend, knowledgeable person and instructor over in America.
Richard and Terry talk through Cooper’s colour code and it’s relevance for daily life and any time spent in the outdoors. Identified by Lt. Colonel Jeff Cooper, the colour code of situational awareness is a tool to identify the appropriate mindset and awareness level in any given situation.

Synthetic fabrics and campfires – how to avoid spark holes
Synthetic fabrics and fires - how to deal with sparks
OUTDOOR SKILLS
- Richard Prideaux
- January 16, 2022
Waterproofs, Down Jackets and Campfires
A few weeks ago I sent out the joining information for our January Bushcraft Basics course. It was an email containing all of the information you would expect – where to come to, what time to arrive… and what to bring. The kit list is fairly short, as you would expect for a one-day course. But one item has more information alongside than any other – the outer shell layer, the waterproof one.
What I am trying to convey to the reader in that accompanying line of text is that they will NEED a waterproof layer (it is taking place in Wales, after all), but they shouldn’t bring their finest, most expensive GoreTex or similar breathable-membrane jacket. Because they will probably leave with more holes in it than they arrived with…
It’s something that comes up enough in conversation to make it worth writing a post about it, so here you go.
Angering the Gods of Fire
It works like this; you sit down next to your campfire, the one you just lit after at least 30 minutes of struggle with a ferrocerium rod and a bit of birch bark issued to you from our blue barrel. You’re relieved. Happy. Satisfied with the fruits of your labours. Then a small pocket of pressurised gas trapped in one of the logs suddenly explodes, emitting a tiny shower of sparks. One of those sparks travels in a delicate arc, glowing away as it flies across the gap between your body and the fire, and lands on your arm or shoulder.
In an ideal world it will have landed on something made from cotton or wool – a ‘natural fibre’, or at least a fabric that contains a lot of natural material (like polycotton). These fibres do not combust easily, and a solitary spark will not have too much of an effect. It will most probably just die out, quickly cooling and becoming just another speck of grime in the patina of your battered outer layer.
What you don’t want to happen is for that spark to land on a ‘synthetic fabric’ of some type, like GoreTex, eVent or one of the hundreds of other brand names and ‘technologies’ that outdoor gear manufacturers list to try and sell you stuff. If that hot, glowing spark lands on one of these oil-based layers then it will quite likely grab hold and start to melt the fabric, burning a hole into it.
Your expensive, super-waterproof, extremely expensive shell layer has now started its inevitable journey to becoming a wearable colander. Your fleece now has a hard, shiny spot where the pile melted, and your down jacket is starting to leak feathers from a brand-new hole
Preparing for the spark
What we try to suggest is that, where possible and practical, you should try to avoid having mission-critical pieces of expensive waterproof clothing near campfires. If you are going to be wafting around near naked flames and showers of sparks then either wear an older, already battered waterproof or fleece – or choose something made from cotton, canvas or even wool. I love using my Helikon Tex Woodsman as a protective outer layer for this kind of thing – it’s by no means waterproof, but by ‘eck it’s tough.
Avoiding the spark entirely
Prevention is better than cure in most cases, and there will be occasions when you are stuck with the gear you have – e.g. expeditions where your kit is limited and has to perform multiple roles, or a canoe drycag. In these situations it would be better to avoid the event entirely and stop sparks from flying out of the fire.
You can do this in a number of ways:
- Choose your wood wisely – some woods will spit and be sparkier than others. Partly due to moisture levels, partly due to just the chemical composition of that type of cellulose fibre. Coniferous softwoods (pines, spruces, firs etc) will tend to ‘pop’ and emit rogue sparks, and Horse Chestnut is notorious for throwing shrapnel outwards when burning. Drier wood will tend to spit less, but the type of wood seems to be the important factor.
- Stop fiddling with it – anyone who has spent a few hours managing a campfire knows that occasionally you will need to poke it with a stick. I get it; it’s part of the ritual, and it can be genuinely necessary for rearranging firewood or regulating the ‘burn’. The unfortunate side effect is the shower of sparks that is thrown up from the sudden disturbance, and the more you poke it the more sparks you get. So if you’re trying to avoid sparks you need to keep that disturbance to a minimum – or at least use a stick that’s long enough to keep you out of the firing line.
- Beware of wind direction and your kit placement – if the wind is blowing across your camp then you have ¾ of a circle where you can safely hang your kit without it being bathed in fire and sparks. You can use this information to arrange your camp accordingly and to set out your tarp, drying line and away from potential damage.
While we are talking about your camp – it’s not just the synthetic fabrics on waterproofs, fleeces or insulated jackets. Consider what a spark is going to do to drybags, tent flysheets, tarps, sleeping bags, bivvy bags or any of the dozen or so essential and flammable items in your pack.
Dealing with the aftermath
If you hang around campfires long enough then something will get tagged by a stray spark or ember – be it a garment, a tent or even a rucksack or drybag. There are a few products available that will help with a makeshift repair, and it’s always worth carrying a field repair kit if you’re heading out for more than a night or so.
I have used, at different times:
- McNett Tenacious Tape – sticks to most fabrics and can be trimmed to size. Fairly expensive for the size of the roll, but use it sparingly.
- Duck Tape mini rolls – small enough to keep in your pack, but still versatile enough to use for repairs and about a dozen other uses.
- Scapa Tape (aka ‘Sniper Tape’) – stupidly sticky and strong, not waterproof as such but great for repairing tears and larger holes. More suited to home repairs where you aren’t looking for a cosmetic finish….
Some fabrics can be stitched together, but waterproof fabrics might need an application of seam sealing compound on top of the stitched area. More modern, single layer waterproof fabrics will be more effectively repaired with a suitable patching kit.
If you’re going to have a campfire then you’re inevitably going to have sparks, but at least you can do something about it through some good decisions and a bit of planning.

Survival gadgets, utility tools and items that do several things.
For episode twenty seven of Modern Outdoor Survival we talk about utility. Multitools, internet ultimate tools and survival tools which make lovely furniture….
When preparing to go out and undertake any activity, it is wise to select your tools carefully, ensuring that they will get the job done and work with your mode of transportation and limitations such as space and weight. Multitools can be very tempting when walking a long way to your destination and carrying everything on your back. However choose carefully; there are many products now which are advertised as being capable of everything from cutting branches to removing wheel nuts to eating a steak. Some of these stand up to scrutiny and are adequate for several different jobs, but rarely are they as good as their dedicated to one job counterparts. It is also worthwhile practicing the use of any tools in a ‘safe’ environment, get used to the limitations and find workarounds to common issues. This will make usage in the field much more effective.

We had to talk about it eventually - toilets, hygiene.
For episode twenty six of Modern Outdoor Survival we talk open and honestly about poo. Take this as your warning if you share this podcast with family or friends, we don’t use adult language but we are open, frank and a little graphic in this episode.
Everybody has to go at some point in the day, and if you plan on being outside for extended periods of time, then you need to also plan for the inevitable moment when you need to poop. It is worth noting that there isn’t just one method for going when outdoors, it can actually be influenced by the location you are in, your physical condition and fitness, and camp codes of conduct. There are several key things to think about and plan ahead for before drinking that extra strong coffee.
What particular guidance is given about pooping in the area you are in? Does it have to be packed out, can you bury it, or is it a smearing on the rock location?
Where exactly are you going to go? Not right next to a water source or footpath, but possibly close to a tree if you are in need of support.
How are you going to effectively clean up to limit potential hygiene issues?

Snow, ice and winter conditions.
For the twenty fifth episode of Modern outdoor Survival we look at snow. Not literally as we don’t have any, but we will relive some past experiences.
It is now the season (in the Northern hemisphere) when ice climbers, skiiers and those who like to trek around wearing snowshoes really come out of the woodwork. It is also the time of year when people try to continue with their regular activities regardless of the conditions on the ground. This is a fantastic thing to do as it increases experiences and knowledge of how to be well prepared and how to deal with a unique set of problems. However, don’t take it as lightly as those childhood memories of sledging and hot chocolates in cosy cafes.
We all know that when there is snow, it is going to be cold, very cold. This isn’t just a frosty morning which warms up, when you can dry out in the inevitable sun, this is cold which may never warm up. Taking steps to ensure that your layering system will work and you are wearing footwear which allows blood to circulate well are vital, as well as understanding your water resources in these conditions.

Preparedness in every sense.
Episode twenty four is all about readiness.
A little later than usual, thanks to Storm Arwen leaving us without power for a few days!
Readiness can apply to all facets of life, be that the every day, or the once in a lifetime trip. It is about maintenance of gear and skills to ensure that when you need them, they are ready and function as you expect. It is also about ensuring that you have taken the right equipment with you for the situations that you will be in.

Qualifications, training accreditations and standards.
Episode twenty three is about qualifications, related to the outdoors.
Qualifications, like most things in life, have an up-side and a down-side. They can be a marker of competence in a given field, and illustrate a measured competence level. However they are often based upon a single day of assessment and cannot be used standalone as a guarantee that a person has maintained their skill level as time has passed.

Richard speaks to Andrew from Valley Deep Mountain High about SAR, photography and the outdoors.
Last weekend we had some of the team members of Lakota Outdoors staying in our woodland. They helped to clear some footpaths, set up what looked like a shanty town, and recorded a couple of podcasts at the same time.
Episode 22 features Andrew, founder/creator of Valley Deep Mountain High and team member of Lakota Outdoors. This episode is recorded in the woods next to a roaring camp fire whilst the rest of the group gathered firewood and started to prepare the evening meal.
Andrew and Richard talk about past careers, what the outdoors means to Andrew and some of the outdoor gear brands which he champions. They also delve into team Lakota and what it means to be a member.

Rucksacks and load-carrying - fitting them to your body and features to look for.
We made it to episode 20, a milestone of sorts. This week is all about packs.
Rucksacks are one of the best ways to carry large or heavy loads and have been adapted over the years to become ergonomic for all body shapes and sizes. The most important aspects of using a pack is ensuring that it fits correctly. The back length and distance between waist belt and shoulder straps can be the difference between walking with ease and having a pack which you almost forget about, and having a tortuous experience which ends up with blisters, difficulty breathing and feeling as though your spine has been compressed. If you have only ever experienced the latter, then this episode is for you!

Situational awareness, pre-event indicators and reading the signs.
Episode eighteen leads us down a path of observation.
There are inherent risks with everything in life. If you are observant and can read the signs leading up to large events, you can lessen the effects of taking risks by preparing for, or avoiding bad situations.
Observation isn’t just a case of seeing what is happening, but also using other senses, and in some cases calling upon resources like weather reports, which enable you to predict possible future scenarios and plan out best for a trip.

Carrying water and other drinkable liquids - bottle, bladder or something else?
For episode seventeen we talk about carrying water, by bladder or bottle, there are different products out there to suit all.
Carrying water is something which you will nearly always need to do if spending time outdoors. Chances are that you have either landed on your feet with a system which works for you, or you are always on the lookout for something new which may solve your current water carrying problems.
We talk about our experiences with metal, solid plastic, and the flexible plastic bottles, their up and downsides. Water bladders have become very popular and are a go-to for many hikers and outdoorspeople for the ease of access to drinking water, but they do have their drawbacks too.

All about modifying clothing and equipment to make it work better for you.
Four months in to the Modern Outdoor Survival podcast and we are talking about modification.
Sometimes an item of gear can be made better by a simple bit of paracord, or a small sewing task which alleviates an annoyance which in normal situations isn’t close to a problem, but in a survival situation could break you. We talk about a few different things which can be done to modify, or repair gear both at home and in the field.
