By far the best episode so far. Great conversation and so down to earth. I'll bet most people watching will relate to a lot of what you two talked about. Wyatt's the real deal!
Jim this was another great podcast, I look forward to more of these. Jim you’re a natural, you ask great questions, you and your guests are always having a great time chatting it up , excellent.👏
Thanks Jim, I love listening to Wyatt Black and his experiences' & skills sounds like his grandpa had such a great life, memories like that are so special. Wyatt did well on Alone. I do remember you & your brother on Alone Jim. What a great podcast.
As I suspected Jim, this was an awesome video and interview. You asked interesting questions, swapped outdoor experiences and listened to Wyatt share his knowledge - you and Wyatt are two good men with a great spirit and a true love of everything outdoors. This was a pleasure to watch and sort of salute to us fellow hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen - thank you both! Cheers
I'm working from home, engineering a spreadsheet while listening to Jim and Wyatt talking about their very serious outdoor experiences...what a contrast.
Fascinating discussion! "Alone" is one of my favorite shows and always interesting to hear more of the inside story from participants. Brave souls, all of you! I appreciated the thoughts shared here gentlemen, thank you 💜 Barret
I heard from a special forces army bushcraft teacher that survival success is about 80% willpower/the will to survive, and 20% bushcraft knowledge. I believe this to be true. This was another great interview, honest and informative, ideal. Thanks again Jim.
Wyatt is an awesome guy! I feel privileged to know him and to be able to learn from him. I stil have one of the arrows he gave me. It killed quite a few birds on Reindeer Lake. I also "accidently" stole a broke back minnow from him lol. I remember meeting him when he came out of the woods... he said "Damn brother, you look as bad as i do" lol. He is an amazing outdoorsman and an amazing friend. The talk was awesome. Thank you Jim, and thank you for everything Wyatt.
Really enjoyed this interview with Wyatt i was really hoping he would have won Alone,but he kicked ass & can be really proud of what he accomplished.I'm really glad you two talked about people leaving their garbage in the bush I just don't get it.Thanks for the realness. 🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍👍👍
Good chat fellas, Ultimately, our upbringing forges our moral compass, ethics, integrity, mental strength, & common sense. We grew up here in Australia with our dad, shooting ducks, rabbits, foxes etc, fishing for trout, carving with Swiss Army knives, picking mushrooms & blackberries, camping etc etc. two weeks ago I took my partner out picking blackberries & come home to make 6 jars of jam. A life in nature is a good life.
What a guy, Wyatt. He is probably the most interesting person on Alone, after Alan Kay (with many Great others in between, of course). Nice chat. Thanks, Jim👌
Loved this, thanks to you both. First video I've checked out but certainly wont be the last. Learned so much and it was awesome to hear all the extra insights and tidbits we don't see on alone as well. Keep up the awesome work.
Few mins in and I'm hooked 😅 Started with gardening too 🌱👍 Will go back the vid now. Excellent guests so far, Jim. All are very articulate in sharing their stories and thoughts but you and your personality make the conversation light and far from boring. Great job and keep them coming. Btw, can someone tell me what hoodie Wyatt was wearing? Cool design!
Thank you guys for a great show.....you know...if we shoot ..for 2nd..we will never be losers..because .we will have won ..the knowledge..that we are never first.
Man I found this podcast at the perfect time. My wife and I just finished season 10, and I need another good podcast other than meateater lol, Baird country is a great name too
Jim, you have a real talent for interviewing guests. Perfect balance between open questions and back-and-forth banter. Really great episode. This is quickly becoming my favourite podcast. Huge thanks for putting out this content
Trying to get onto it so in the near future yet but there’s a bit of an approval process there. I’m already in Spotify, Google podcasts etc etc with the audio version
all you need for the first month is a tarp and tape tent, cause it wont even freeze in that time. This is true even if you dont have a heat source or sleeping bag in the shelter. The reflective tyvek bivy 2 sets of longjohns, 3 pairs of tarp and tape pants, and dry debris between each of those 5 layers of clothing and between the bivy and the tent will suffice just fine at such temps. The backpack and 3 sets of coveralls will be stuffed with dry debris, the seams sewn and taped, and used as pontoons on the outrigger raft. This raft can be made in one day, since all it needs is 8 small logs as a frame. The pontoons will each float a large man., so it wont matter if the logs float or not. You can make this raft in your camp, by fire light if need be. Then carry it to the water's edge, cause it will weigh at most 80 lbs, You can obviously also carry it in pieces and assemble it at the water's edge.
Excellent explanation! If only all hunters were of Wyatt's mindset! Trophy hunting makes me sick. Even fur trappers that trap animals just for their. I realize there are those that have basically been born into it, I don't know several trappers, it feels wrong to me. Having the difference pointed out and taught on social media is a great thing! Ethical meat collecting is not a cruel "hobby", it's the opposite of most supermarket/slaughterhouse grown meat production. Yes, I can buy meat at a grocery store but do I want to promote the practices most used to get it there? No! And I can't afford ethically raised and processed organic meats. Plus, how many of those companies are being honest? There are so many loopholes in the labeling of food now. I'm ranting, thank you if you actually read this. But, KNOWING what you are feeding your family is huge! The topic of pack out what you pack is another great topic! I love the line "If you can pack it full, why the hell can't you pack it out empty? What's wrong with us?" Thank you! Great topics that need to be heard. Stay courageous!
Competition baits bring in a lot of excitement . stink baits bring them in in spring. But once they clear themselves . nothing works better than Tim Horton Doughnuts.
What a missed opportunity to ask good questions for this podcast- The main interest regarding Wyatt Are: one more on his time in Alone- particularly near the end- would he have done anything differently? let him explore more if he regretted tapping out when he did- being in a better spot that Alan who was almost ready to tap out. Also how did his family and loved ones react to him being on alone and what was it like when he came back? Lastly and most importantly since it was a big part of his character representation in the show- how has alone affected his path towards sobriety ? Instead the interviewer decided to be a men of weaker character that didn’t want to go there with him also paints the picture of a bad superficial friend and podcaster.
Hi here, I was actually on Alone season 4 which I won. I did ask some questions that were emotional for him to answer. But as a person who was on the show, these questions are ones we are asked all the time in interviews and o personally don’t find them to be particularly, interesting maybe because I’ve been asked them so many times. Sorry you didn’t like it but also think that calling me a weak man is a little much lol.
@@JimBairdAdventurer I said what I said- (I did know you were on the show btw) but I don’t really know you dude thus I didn’t call you a weak man- I called you a weaker man than one that would have asked more real questions to Wyatt. The fact is that he was in a different position than most contestants which makes him interesting- he had high mental spirits up until the end, had plenty of food left, and was using alone as means to reflect on his addictions-as an opportunity for sobriety, and to reflect on his actions affected his life and family. Meanwhile Alan was ready to tap out within a few more days. Then Wyatt decided to suddenly quit and seemed to be in good spirits- you as the interviewer praised this- analyzed his reasoning and gave him a template on how to quickly talk about his decision before he even answered- the most crucial conversation lasted only a few minutes bc you halted reflection. His father didn’t get to visit him on the location and experience the adventure or win with him. Who knows what he did next- (not us bc you didn’t ask him) maybe he decided to reward himself after his experience and had a little dink, perhaps he’s been sober since then, maybe the whole ironic end to his alone experience made him reflect? regardless of the amount of detail he would have given- wouldn't you have done good by allowing him to reflect and think about it.. How about exploring this with him, exploring family and growth and sure mix it with some fun topics? Dude IDK if you are his good friend, I’m guessing not but you don’t sound like a great interviewer either- pray towards a stronger character because your flaws and insecurities are limiting you.
I raised rabbits. As long as all the babies smell the same, the doe won't kill them. Anytime I had to handle the kits, I just made sure to handle all of them.
by the time that you need the coveralls on your body, you'll be done using the raft. Once it's too cold for rain to be a threat, the producers tarp can be stuffed with dry debris and used as a sleeping bag. Put 3 layers, 2" thick each, of WET debris on the dry debris that is layered onto the outside of your tent., Let each layer freeze solid before adding the next one. this set up handles 0F degrees with no need of a heat source, no need to waste a gear pick on the sleeping bag. the reflective tyvek bivy is more useful than any sleeping bag. Debris is everywhere, makes fine insulation, and if it's wet, you can dry out enough of it for your needs all in one day. using 4 Siberian fire lays and a wheelbarrow load of hot rocks. You'll never see 0F degrees, cause yo'u'll never see the second week in December. Season 10 never saw Thanksgiving out there, since they only lasted 64 days. The Baird brothers lasted 10 days longer, with just a tent, i WET conditions, and they weighed 50 lbs less than Wyatt or Alan did. Each lb of body-weight is another day of staying-power, IF you know to just hole-up in your shelter. Jim is too deferential to mention those facts!. :-)
take the slingbow, saw edged shovel, modified Crunch multitool, 2-person cotton rope hammock, big roll of duct tape, the reflective 12x12 tarp, the reflective XL size tyvek bivy, the 3 lb block of Sea salt, the rations of pemmican and GORP. Mix the rations 3 lbs of diced, boiled, then fried cambium and you can eat 1700 calories per day for a week. of hard work You can do without any food for 2 days after you launch, IF you' know to have put yourself into ketosis over 2 weeks in advance and pig out on fat and protein for 2 days before you launch. You can work hard one more day after you have no food, too.. You can set up camp/make the pole tent, stone boiling pit in one day, You can make the pontoon outrigger raft in one day. ditto the 400m long chumline You can make over 200 sq ft of 4" mesh netting per day. One day of work will convert 1200 sq ft of 4" mesh netting into 600 sq ft of 2" mesh netting.
you can weave the basket in an hour or so. It does not need to be closer mesh than 2" in order to support the 3x3 ft chunk of tarp adequately so as to hold 5 gallons of boiled water. I can't believe that people still waste a week of their time and calories on that tiny cookpot. Humans have survived for millennia with no metal pots and many never learned pottery. ALL shoreline mud has workable clay in it. Once you make the adze and full length handles for the shovel 1 hour each) you can create the 2 clay refining pits in an hour or so, depending upon how hard the dirt is., and how far you have to walk to find dirt that's thick enough over the rocks. Then a couple of hours, at most, to fill the upper pit with mud and water. Carry water in one of the pairs of pants that you make out of tape and tarp. Mud can be carried in either a chunk of tarp or the folded up tyvek bivy. Let the clay go into solution. Drain the saturated water from the upper pit to the lower pit. Let the clay fall out of solution, repeat, and eventually, drain off the clear water in the lower pit. Presto, clean, workable clay with which to make ceramic pots and lids.
water stays warm longer in the fall than the air does, so you might not need the raft at first. If you can bait in enough fish at first to your net weirs and seining area, you might not need the chumline. So you might be able to make another 400 sq ft of 4" mesh netting, set as a gillnet, in your first 10 days. Weaving netting is not all that hard a job, if you know how to set up to do it while sitting-down. Especially not 4" mesh netting. Surplus fish need to do into a stake and log bait box for bears, with your tree blind 10m away. building both takes can be done in one day.
What are you talking about specifically? There is a lot of stuff the alone contestants film that doesn’t make it into the Final Cut. If you can imagine, there is a massive amount of raw footage that the editors have to deal with so most of what’s shot can’t make it in. For example, I whittled two paddles out of a log and it didn’t get in.
they have let people get away with taking carbon fiber arrows. Evenn if they DID demand that your arrows be made of wood, you can remove the ferrules from 3 piece, carbon fiber take down arrows and put them onto wooden shafts. Take a slingbow, not a regular bow. Then you can always have your projectile weapon with you. When you make the baked clay pots and their lids, also make 50+ 1/2" OD ceramic balls for use in the slingbow and dont waste arrows on such game. Sure, keep your eyes and ears peeled for a chance at such critters as you do other tings and for sure, dummy, take 6 flu flu fletched arrows, with Zwickey judohead blunt tips. Remove the springwires from the Judoeheads and make fishhooks out of them. You wont get 4+ shots at big animals and you wont lose/damage an arrow each time you shoot at such an animal, so 3 broadheads out of 9 arrows, is plenty. Use a scissors and trim the flu flu fletching to get whatever range you "think" you'll be able to hit a raibbit at, once you're starving and exhausted (ie, 50 ft, max)
There's nothing 'widlernessy" about the ways that I teach you how to last a month longer than you know how to stay. All that's needed is an understanding of what to take and do. This challenge is won and lost while you are still at home. if you take the bow, axe, saw, cookpot, fishing gear, gillnet, belt knife, sleeping bag, snarewire, ferrorod, paracord, you dont know the score.
in order to eat 150 lbs of fish, you'd have to have CAUGHT 300 lbs and I just dont believe that. Only half of an animal or fish's live weight is edible flesh. 150 lbs of actual edible fish is 90,000 calories, which is enough food for 30 days of not losing any weight, IF you know to just hole up in your shelter. Since he lost so much weight,, so quickly. I dont believe that. I think he means he caught 150 lbs of live weight fish, which is 45,000 calories.
Nicely done. Maybe don’t say mmm-hmm under your breath after everything the guest says? I would probably do it too, but it’s distracting. Sorry to be a nudge. ❤
We found your interview with Wyatt Black very interesting but the language used was so bad we could not continue watching . Not something i want my children to hear .
Thanks a lot for tuning in! Please subscribe to my channel and let me know what you like most about this podcast.
Real people. Real truth.
I love all of your stuff. I am watching your Alone season right now. Brutal stuff. Love the new haircut too!!
Awesome discussion and points. Much respect to both of you guys for what you did.
What a character!
Great questions - great answers - great interview Jim. 😊
I adore Wyatt Black and his stories! Thanks Jim for having him on. It’s men like you fellas that make me feel better about what we believe in.
Much appreciated
Just finished watching the season. I was def rooting for Wyatt. My favorite and least complainer.
Thanks Jim, Wyatt Black has some amazing stories and l was glued to screen! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Wyatt was and still is my all time favorite on any season.
Great interview Jim! Loved Wyatt on Alone, one of the best contestants ever. Great to see an another Ontario boy kicking ass out there.
What a great video Jim. You never desappoint. Looking foward to the next episode. Thanks Jim
I sooo wanted him to win! Wyatt should be in movies. He’s so authentic!
By far the best episode so far. Great conversation and so down to earth. I'll bet most people watching will relate to a lot of what you two talked about. Wyatt's the real deal!
I was really pulling for Wyatt to win. Man can he catch fish or what? Cool dude, liked his honesty.
Thanks, ya some of those like he landed were redicolous
@@JimBairdAdventurer by the way your guest list for your podcasts so far has been incredible. Are you going to get Ted to join you?
Me too brother
Me too! Was so great to see a fellow Ontarian killing it.
By far my favorite of all seasons
I am a huge fan and love your work. I had many adventures Back in the 70's and 80's can't do the hard stuff anymore but I still get out there.
Jim this was another great podcast, I look forward to more of these. Jim you’re a natural, you ask great questions, you and your guests are always having a great time chatting it up , excellent.👏
Thanks Jim, I love listening to Wyatt Black and his experiences' & skills sounds like his grandpa had such a great life, memories like that are so special. Wyatt did well on Alone. I do remember you & your brother on Alone Jim. What a great podcast.
As I suspected Jim, this was an awesome video and interview. You asked interesting questions, swapped outdoor experiences and listened to Wyatt share his knowledge - you and Wyatt are two good men with a great spirit and a true love of everything outdoors. This was a pleasure to watch and sort of salute to us fellow hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen - thank you both! Cheers
I'm working from home, engineering a spreadsheet while listening to Jim and Wyatt talking about their very serious outdoor experiences...what a contrast.
Fascinating discussion! "Alone" is one of my favorite shows and always interesting to hear more of the inside story from participants. Brave souls, all of you! I appreciated the thoughts shared here gentlemen, thank you 💜 Barret
Thank you both! This was a wonderful, knowledgeable, deep conversation. I appreciate both of you and am glad to have any chance to learn from you.
Jim absolutely awesome awesome episode. I’m really enjoying all of your videos. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks a lot!
Hello from Oregon! I was cheering for Wyatt the whole time. Thanks for the vid.
This was the most enlightening conversation I've heard in a long time. Nice to know men like these still exist!
Great video watching two people talking about the living in the out doors.
Thank you Jim & wyatt
First time I cried when Wyatt phoned in. What a sweet man
My favorite Aloner ever
Thanks a lot! Wyatt was pretty good too though.
@@JimBairdAdventurer I meant Wyatt ❤️
I thought for sure that gold hellfire was going to help you pull off the win! Great season!
I heard from a special forces army bushcraft teacher that survival success is about 80% willpower/the will to survive, and 20% bushcraft knowledge. I believe this to be true. This was another great interview, honest and informative, ideal. Thanks again Jim.

Once again, great interview. Really enjoyed hearing Wyatt's tales. Nice to hear both you guys share your values and passion for nature.
Long watch but worth every minute. So many wise words.
This was a fantastic pod cast! I wish children could experience everything you all talked about!
Thank you!
You’re very welcome! Sorry about the bad words.
so good to hear all that you two talk about so touching and real thank you GOD bless you and friend and family 👍👍👍
Fascinating chat. Thank you both.
Thank you for such a great interview. I learned so much from listening to the two of you. Alone is my favorite show so this was awesome!

If they carry it in full
They can carry it out empty 👌🏼
Spirit talking amongst the family.
Thank you guys for a great show.....you know...if we shoot ..for 2nd..we will never be losers..because .we will have won ..the knowledge..that we are never first.
Meaning ..nature is always 1st
What an interesting and entertaining conversation. I enjoyed it from an extremely knowledgeable guy so nice too❣️
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really like your channel and would like to show you this outdoor product!
waiting for you！
Interesting
What a great conversation! Really want to reach up and close the lever on that rifle above Wyatt though.
It’s a replica
Does Wyatt have a podcast or offer an outdoors course? I can listen to you guys talk for hours about bush tips
He has an Instagram page where he does some video updates. instagram.com/wyattblack1971/
Great conversation
Great show
Man I found this podcast at the perfect time. My wife and I just finished season 10, and I need another good podcast other than meateater lol, Baird country is a great name too
Much appreciated, that’s amazing that you found it right after the show haha. Glad you liked it!

Really great episode. This is quickly becoming my favourite podcast. Huge thanks for putting out this content
Great conversation!
Great interview, we only have drop bears in Australia. Where does the jacket come from.cheers
Great talk. Wyatt’s the best. Are you going to upload to Apple Podcast?
Trying to get onto it so in the near future yet but there’s a bit of an approval process there. I’m already in Spotify, Google podcasts etc etc with the audio version

What a missed opportunity to ask good questions for this podcast-
The main interest regarding Wyatt
Are:
one more on his time in Alone- particularly near the end- would he have done anything differently? let him explore more if he regretted tapping out when he did- being in a better spot that Alan who was almost ready to tap out.
Also how did his family and loved ones react to him being on alone and what was it like when he came back?
Lastly and most importantly since it was a big part of his character representation in the show- how has alone affected his path towards sobriety ?
Instead the interviewer decided to be a men of weaker character that didn’t want to go there with him also paints the picture of a bad superficial friend and podcaster.

I always take a bag for other peoples garbage when I go to Algonquin Park. No problem filling it.

If you can bait in enough fish at first to your net weirs and seining area, you might not need the chumline. So you might be able to make another 400 sq ft of 4" mesh netting, set as a gillnet, in your first 10 days. Weaving netting is not all that hard a job, if you know how to set up to do it while sitting-down. Especially not 4" mesh netting. Surplus fish need to do into a stake and log bait box for bears, with your tree blind 10m away. building both takes can be done in one day.
brooke n dave!!
They’re coming in the spring!
Another cool canadian.Sure you guys heard Bella Twin
why wasnt any of that in the show?
What are you talking about specifically? There is a lot of stuff the alone contestants film that doesn’t make it into the Final Cut. If you can imagine, there is a massive amount of raw footage that the editors have to deal with so most of what’s shot can’t make it in. For example, I whittled two paddles out of a log and it didn’t get in.

they have let people get away with taking carbon fiber arrows. Evenn if they DID demand that your arrows be made of wood, you can remove the ferrules from 3 piece, carbon fiber take down arrows and put them onto wooden shafts. Take a slingbow, not a regular bow. Then you can always have your projectile weapon with you. When you make the baked clay pots and their lids, also make 50+ 1/2" OD ceramic balls for use in the slingbow and dont waste arrows on such game. Sure, keep your eyes and ears peeled for a chance at such critters as you do other tings and for sure, dummy, take 6 flu flu fletched arrows, with Zwickey judohead blunt tips. Remove the springwires from the Judoeheads and make fishhooks out of them. You wont get 4+ shots at big animals and you wont lose/damage an arrow each time you shoot at such an animal, so 3 broadheads out of 9 arrows, is plenty. Use a scissors and trim the flu flu fletching to get whatever range you "think" you'll be able to hit a raibbit at, once you're starving and exhausted (ie, 50 ft, max)
There's nothing 'widlernessy" about the ways that I teach you how to last a month longer than you know how to stay. All that's needed is an understanding of what to take and do. This challenge is won and lost while you are still at home. if you take the bow, axe, saw, cookpot, fishing gear, gillnet, belt knife, sleeping bag, snarewire, ferrorod, paracord, you dont know the score.

Awwwww man.... really you didn't say spoiler alert... now I have to turn this off!!!!!!!!!
in order to eat 150 lbs of fish, you'd have to have CAUGHT 300 lbs and I just dont believe that. Only half of an animal or fish's live weight is edible flesh. 150 lbs of actual edible fish is 90,000 calories, which is enough food for 30 days of not losing any weight, IF you know to just hole up in your shelter. Since he lost so much weight,, so quickly. I dont believe that. I think he means he caught 150 lbs of live weight fish, which is 45,000 calories.
Nicely done. Maybe don’t say mmm-hmm under your breath after everything the guest says? I would probably do it too, but it’s distracting. Sorry to be a nudge. ❤
Ha, well I got better with that than I did in my last one.
We found your interview with Wyatt Black very interesting but the language used was so bad we could not continue watching . Not something i want my children to hear .
Like swear words? Ya, they will all probably have some. I can understand if you were listening with your kids.
You obviously still watched it.
