| 0:00.0 | Oh yeah, what's up? What's up? Welcome to Side Asel School. This is Chris Gellabout. Hope you're |
| 0:13.2 | doing well wherever you are in the world. Hope you have been taking action, making progress on |
| 0:17.2 | something that's important to you, and just also taking care of yourself as we go into the holiday |
| 0:21.4 | season. Over here in my world, I have been doing a lot of things. I am working on a new book, |
| 0:26.7 | doing a bit of travel, and I've also been watching the TV show Alone, which is kind of like |
| 0:31.8 | Survivor on steroids. There's no steroids involved. Just, you know, that's what people say. It's |
| 0:35.8 | like this, but bigger, better. So, on alone, which, you know, this is not a promotion, I'm just |
| 0:40.7 | telling you about a TV show, which relates to our question. Hold on. You go out into the wild, |
| 0:44.9 | you have to survive entirely on your own, and with limited equipment for months. So, you're like |
| 0:50.0 | literally in the wilderness, and you've got, you know, an axe and some fishing line and, you know, |

| 1:01.0 | maybe two days. But as I said, it's a great show. I enjoy watching it. And I thought about it because |
| 1:06.2 | our caller today from Montana is an outdoorsman himself. He's somebody who could probably be on |
| 1:11.7 | the show. He's thinking of teaching survival skills classes, either in person or online, |
| 1:16.6 | but he's not sure where to begin. So, let's see what we can do. Can we help him get out of the woods? |
| 1:21.8 | What might, in fact, be a few first steps for him, or somebody else interested in teaching a skill? |
| 1:27.3 | That's our question. The detailed version and my answer coming up in just 30 seconds. |
| 1:41.1 | Hey, this is Pete from Boseman, Montana. I've always been good at being in the outdoors, |
| 1:45.3 | and these days, there's an increased interest in learning survival skills. I've thought about |
| 1:49.8 | applying to teach a class at a REI or somewhere else, but I have no idea how I'd go about doing it |
| 1:54.8 | on my own. I also wonder about the possibility of teaching some parts of it online. Years ago, |
| 2:00.4 | I never would have thought of that, but now I can imagine carrying my camera and mobile hotspot |
