Joel is a survival expert that has been featured on History Channel's series, Alone. He also teaches survival, hunting, and outdoor skills courses, which you can learn more about at: https://bushsurvivaltraining.com/ We also talk about the importance of mindset while solo in the wilderness.

0:00.0	Welcome to episode number 328 of the Huntback Country podcast.
0:26.6	Today our guest is Joel Vanderlin. Joel has quite the background and a varied experience
0:33.4	in the outdoors that's much different than mine and that's why I wanted to speak with
0:37.4	him today. He has been a cast member on the History Channel show alone where he was
