    The Barefoot Paddler EP 11
    Jan 10 2026
    I'm sitting down with Mark Zimmer known as "The Barefoot Paddler." He just completed his mapping of the Boundary Waters, the portage trails, routs, hiking trails and logging all camp sites, all barefoot. We talk about that, how he came to live his unique lifestyle, we talk barefooting, and general outdoor banter. I'd say the conversation gets better as we get into it, and this was a really special interview. At the end I'll do a bit of paddling and Outdoor News so stick around for that. I caught up with him in the Northern Minnesota woods and we had a nice chat around the fire. I let the conversation run its natural course and I hope you watch to the end. Thanks for tuning in and please subscribe for more outdoor conversations, adventures and other outdoor nonsense.

  • You Will Want This Boat: The Shredder is a Whitewater Legend. EP 10

    You Will Want This Boat: The Shredder is a Whitewater Legend. EP 10
    Dec 13 2025
    Today we talk with Travis Cowles Co-owner of Airtight Inflatables in Ohiopyle PA. about their famous Shredder boats. A framless cata-raft designed to be paddled not rowed. Although you could row one. These paddle craft have become renound in the world of whitewater. And I'm stoked to get learn more about these really cool boats. If you have never heard of them this is the show for you. If you are looking for a raft that you can travel with and need minimal extra gear then this is also for you. Or if you're a nut that thinks R1 paddling is just on another level (One (1) paddler in a Raft) then follow along. Stay tuned to the end for Outdoor News. There is some paddling-porn interspersed throughout. The footage links are below. As always if you are an outdoor adventure loving, kayaking, camping weirdo freak then please subscribe or share with like minded people but most importantly please visit and support the outdoor conservation organizations below.

  • Calling All Outdoors Men & Women, River Access PSA and call to action

    Calling All Outdoors Men & Women, River Access PSA and call to action
    Nov 6 2025
    The film Common Waters, by Rig to Flip and the Colorado Stream Access Coalition is coming Nov. 19th at the Oriental Theater in Denver. Also We need more people to sign the Stream Access Petition. In Colorado our right to paddle the publics waters is not a right at all. We are trying to change that for the good of both land owners and recreationists. Please take action. I'm sorry for the departure of my usual content but I want this channel to do more than entertain. Please come see the documentary Common Waters. Sign the Stream access petition at coloradostreamaccess.org and call the Colorado elected officials and tell them you want the right to float and if needed get out and be on the banks to be written into law. Thanks and as always see below. As always Please support Conservation Organizations. My current picks are below.

  • EP. 9 Right to Float shall not be infringed... Kinda? And update on Colo. river access.

    EP. 9 Right to Float shall not be infringed... Kinda? And update on Colo. river access.
    Oct 6 2025
    There is a petition going around right now that would get legislation going to codify the river and stream access for kayakers, rafters and fishermen in Colorado. The Access and Conservation Director for Colorado Whitewater is joining us to explain and update the situation as well stoke the fire for this issue. Background: Currently access for the public on bodies of water that border or are wholly within private land is limited to floating through only and under no circumstance is touching the bank or stream bed allowed even if safety dictates otherwise. It is also still legal to put up barriers to small craft such as fences and low head dams or just about any other hazard. Current paddling and rafting access through private sections of land on Colorados rivers is gained by the adherence of landowners to an opinion from a former CO Attorney General from the 70's!! Listen or watch and get the whole story. I was lucky enough to get this interview in person on location. You can email Nik at: access@coloradowhitewater.org Sign the Petition at: https://coloradostreamaccess.org/sign-the-petition/ Want some paddling help check out the Whitewater Workshop: https://www.whitewaterworkshop.com/ As always Please support Conservation Organizations.

  • Why Fly Fishing? How to Start? Talking with Fishy Looking Flys

    Why Fly Fishing? How to Start? Talking with Fishy Looking Flys
    Jun 26 2025
    Now I can and do Fly fish but like most people threw hardware on a spinner to begin with. And I love bate or spin fishing still, however, I do find myself drawn to get better at fly fishing. Why is the fly rod the weapon of choice for so many? How to get into it for cheap, how to set up and cast with a fly rod? If you want to learn to fly fish this is a good starting point. If you are already a fly fisherman you may find this conversation fun. At the end my guest Chris gives us a fly casting demo that I think is really helpful. Spliced in are some images and videos that really show how simple the technique is. Thanks for watching or listening, more to come. If you dig this stuff smash the buttons please and thank you!

  • 3/4 of PUBLIC LAND RIPPED FROM PUBLIC HANDS; Pub. Lands Ep. 06: The Good The Bad and The Ugly

    3/4 of PUBLIC LAND RIPPED FROM PUBLIC HANDS; Pub. Lands Ep. 06: The Good The Bad and The Ugly
    Jun 17 2025

    THE GOOD River access upheld in NC. Dam Modification on the Cache La Poudre River. Corner Crossing is now Legal, what does that even mean?

    THE BAD Corner crossing leaves questions remaining, still open to be appealed. It may take some time for landowners to get used to this new norm. Land sales are on the table again across all federal land again.

    THE UGLY Senate bill calls for sale of 1/2 to 3/4 of all federal lands with in the next 5 years. Over 3 million acres could vanish from Public Ownership. This is mandatory action if you are an outdoorsman As always Please support Conservation Organizations. My current picks are below.
