The homesteading, veggie growing, fish-slaying artist known as Ejler is back!

Fishing season is just around the corner — not one to hold his cards close to his chest, in this episode Ejler casually throws down a killer-hand of stories and tactics from the ocean. This is hard-earned knowledge from over 40 years spent fishing local waters in a wooden row-boat, designed and constructed by his own fair hand. If you haven’t had the chance to listen to his earlier episodes, then we we highly recommend you circle back and hear the many adventures that made Ejler the man he is today.

A big thanks again to Ejler for being such an open (and entertaining) book!

And thanks to everyone listening. If you want to hear more, then be sure to give The Wild Dispatch a follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode.

If you want to send Ejler a message then the simplest thing to do would be to send me the message on Insta, I’ll call him on his landline and pass it along. Leave a 60s voice message and it might even make its way into a future episode!

Steve Rogers is the owner of Orkney Shooting Holidays - North East of the Scottish mainland. Although he's been chasing birds with a shotgun since he was a young nipper... it wasn't until an extremely close-call changed his life, shifting his priorities back to the feathered creatures he always loved to chase. It's here on the beautiful island of Orkney Island that Steve spends as many days as he can getting his clients under the geese.

Thanks again Steve for being so open with his stories, and for all the tips and tricks around everything wingshooting!

Cole Wilks has been putting wild meat on the table (and in the freezer) since he was a kid. Spending months of each year hunting with a bow, it's unsurprising that he's an absolute pro at wilderness survival.

Cole has featured as a coach on Hunt Warz, made the final 22 in Season 7 of Alone, and emerged triumphant from a 21-day challenge in the latest season of Discovery channel's Naked and Afraid. On top of that he runs workshops, online classes, hosts a new podcast and has a successful channel on YouTube. Suffice to say if there's a wilderness flavored pie, Cole's got his finger in it.

Thanks again Cole for the great chat today!

For decades Larry has been fishing and foraging for the tastiest ocean snacks Northern California has to offer. Not only feeding himself and the people he cares about, but also selling healthy products through his environmentally conscious seaweed snack company — Rising Tide Sea Vegetables.

Larry has a deep understanding of coastal habitats in Northern California. Through his stories we hear the events that shaped his perspective on our place in the eco system, the problems with mass scale food production, and the common misconceptions of human impact. We also learn some tips and tricks on the best way to approach harvesting sea veggies and fish for ourselves.

Thanks again to Larry for sharing his time with us today!

You can find his foods at Rising tide sea vegetables

Today we're doing things a little different: 'TWD - In The Field' is a shorter format recorded out in the wild, capturing moments, as they happen. The Wild Dispatch will continue to churn out its 'normal programming' but every few weeks one of these experiential nuggets will pop up in the feed.

In this Episode Robin narrates a turkey bow-hunt live, as it happens. Then takes a break to reflect on the first 25 episodes of TWD, the importance of work/life balance, and how much fun it is chasing warthogs in South Africa. Note one story about pursuing a particularly large warthog back in the Eastern Cape who we dubbed Sir. Tuskalot. Video evidence on Instagram.

We'd love your thoughts on this new format. Send us a message on the Insta link below👇

Dr. Adrian de Villiers goes by many names, but perhaps the most notorious is Dr. Death.

—A nickname coined after becoming the first South African to ever harvest the big 6 on foot, with nothing but a bow and arrows. (elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, Cape buffalo and hippo)

Despite his ominous title, ‘the Doc’ has been sharing nuggets of wisdom with outdoor enthusiasts for decades. For over thirty years he’s written multiple books and over a thousand articles about hunting in South Africa and around the world. Unsurprisingly this guy has amazing stories and close-calls by the bucket load…

A very big thank you to the Doc for sharing his skills and stories with us today!

You can reach Dr. Adrian de Villers via his email sarc@icon.com

You can purchase any his books: Bowhunting in Southern Africa, Whatever it Takes, The way I see it, and Bowhunting Dangerous Game by reaching out to him at the same email.

Today we’re excited to introduce two new guests to The Wild Dispatch Podcast.

Hans and Adrienne Olufs began their journey as high-school sweethearts with a mutual love of wild places... they’ve since become two halves of a backwoods power-couple.

Creators and owners of West Coast Archery Shop north of San Francisco, together they’ve helped build and support a community of archers, hunters, and likeminded adventure-lovers from the wider area. They’ve also achieved all this while raising a kid, who we should add has successfully chased more big game with a bow than most grown-ups!

Thanks again to Hans and Adrienne for all their great stories, tips, and for continuing to inspire us to get outside with our family!

You can visit the West Coast Archery Shop website or follow them on Instagram and Facebook

And be sure to sign up to the Last Chance Broadhead Shoot and Pack Race weekend too!
