Sacrifice at Christmas : The Tragedy of Solomon Browne
This is a different episode for us, but it's one we felt compelled to make.On 19th December 1981 a dramatic rescue played out on the English coast, involving a stricken cargo ship being driven towards a rocky shore by a storm. It's an important story of courage, skill, sacrifice and decisions that ultimately led to tragedy.Tonight is the anniversary of that incident, and in this episode we pull together the original radio transmissions to tell the story of the crews of the Union Star and the Solomon Browne.LinksBBC documentary on YouTubeBBC Sounds documentaryPenlee: The Loss of a Lifeboat - by Michael Sagar-Fenton

57: Cold and Alone on the White River
This is the story that we promised in the last episode - a tale of cold water, dogs in canoes and unexpected swimming. Also a tale of hypothermia, kit choice, decision making and reflecting on the circumstances prior and post.It features our friend (and previous podcast guest) Terry and his buddy 'Grizz', and took place a couple of months ago on the White River in Indiana, US. The story itself is in the main show, the aftershow is more of a conversation and informal sharing of opinions on how to do it better next time.This episode is a little different from what we have done before, and it's something of an experiment. We are looking for other stories to cover in a similar format - so if you have one yourself, or know of someone with a good story then please get in touch with Amy.Links– Join our patreon- https://patreon.com/originaloutdoorscontent- Training courses and more information https://outdoorprofessional.co.uk/– Connect with Richard and Modern Outdoor Survival - https://originaloutdoors.co.uk/podcast/modern-outdoor-survival– Modern Outdoor Survival on Instagram - @modernoutdoorsurvival– Richard on Instagram and Twitter - @richprideaux– Original Outdoors on Instagram, Twitter - @OriginalOutdoor– Amy on Instagram and Twitter - @agreenoutdoors– Join our Discord Community - https://discord.gg/SqG9ghFuUR

56: Wet Cold vs Dry Cold
There are many elements which affect how cold you feel and how cold you actually are at the core, in this episode Richard talks about the subtle external factors which can have a big impact on our bodies in lower temperatures.We've covered hypothermia in previous episodes but the exact meaning of the term 'hypothermia factory' relates to the perfect mixture of cold and wet with some wind thrown in for good measure, the ideal conditions for pulling away the heat generated by your body.LinksWarming - an episode about hypothermia and first aid with Adam Gent of Real First AidFabric - Layering systems to stay safe Outdoor Swimming SocietyWind chill calculatorsNational Weather ServiceNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Association– Subscribe to our Patreon– Connect with Richard and Modern Outdoor Survival– Modern Outdoor Survival on Instagram– Richard on Instagram and Twitter– Original Outdoors on Instagram, Twitter and Youtube– Amy on Instagram and Twitter– Join our Discord Community

55: The Knoydart Gear Exchange
Firstly, apologies for the change in audio quality partway through the episode.This episode is a little bit different, Richard was invited to go with Dave, Chris and Alistair for a multi-day hike on the Knoydart peninsula in Scotland. This peninsula on the West coast is surrounded by mountains, lochs and bogs. It is only accessible by boat, or by a 16-mile (26 km) walk through rough country, and the seven miles (11 km) of tarred road found in the small (population of 111) settlement of Inverie are not connected to the UK road system.The plan for the trip was to travel in to the peninsula by ferry from Mallaig, and then walk back to the vehicle left there over the course of 3 days, carrying everything which they would need for the journey.This recording is their after action report about the kit they took, decisions made and overall impressions.Links– Lighter Pack – Connect with Richard and Modern Outdoor Survival– Modern Outdoor Survival on Instagram– Richard on Instagram and Twitter– Original Outdoors on Instagram, Twitter and Youtube– Amy on Instagram and Twitter– Find out more about The Academy– Join our Discord Community– Our Patreon

52: Big wall climbing, real-life survival and accidental comedy with Andy Kirkpatrick
Richard Prideaux talks with Andy Kirkpatrick about all things big wall, winter expeditions and doing things the hard way. It's safe to say that Andy has made his way through life so far by pushing himself and deliberately pitting himself against his own barriers. From a young age he learned to climb and handle himself in the outdoors and progressed from there, teaching himself the ropework skills he would need to climb big walls like El Capitan. Since then Andy has become a well-known and award winning British climber, writer and speaker.This episode is a little bit different to usual but we really hope that you enjoy it, Andy has done a lot to talk about in his life and this only really covers the tip of the iceberg.Useful info: Chossy means loose, unstable, soft or very overgrown rock which can't really be trusted.LinksHamish Hamilton Whisperlite stove Andy's instagram Andy's website – Connect with Richard and Modern Outdoor Survival– Our Patreon– Join our Discord Community– Modern Outdoor Survival on Instagram– Richard on Instagram and Twitter– Original Outdoors on Instagram, Twitter and Youtube– Amy on Instagram and Twitter– Find out more about The Academy
