I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Moose Mutlow. He’s kind of the opposite of me in the sense that he’s a Brit who lives in California. Moose is an experienced outdoorsman with a background in search and rescue.
This episode explores why we’re so drawn to visit wild spaces and what these places give to us. We also discuss tips on how to survive and thrive in the wilderness, especially when we’re new to getting out in wild places.

Currently based in Yosemite National Park he is the senior project director for NatureBridge the largest provider of Environmental Education in the US National Park system. He has a long history of working in Search and Rescue and is a senior trainer for NPS. His best day is when he gets to sit in a boat.
