Ep 007: Dr. Preston Ward (physio for team USA)

The Wild Dispatch

12/19/23 • 70 min

In this episode Robin picks the brains of Dr. Preston Ward - A physical therapist for team USA Archery and founder of his own practice based out of Utah. Preston also happened to start bow-hunting because of an administrative error... It's probably safe to say he had no idea he'd go on to successfully harvest a bison with a well-placed arrow.
Whether it's chasing animals, or treating people all over the world: Preston is fantastic at what he does. Having easily fixed Robin on a number of different occasions, we knew we had to get him on the pod. In this chat Preston shares his story, his techniques and his approach to getting strong for the mountains.
Thanks again Preston for all the useful tips and stories!

Ep027: Cole Wilks - shooting a 900lb antelope on Naked & Afraid (+ other wilderness stories)

The Wild Dispatch

05/14/24 • 133 min

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!

Ep018: Surviving w/ Dennis Mckiver (Part 2 - para rescue, fish & game, hunting, fishing)

The Wild Dispatch

03/12/24 • 114 min

Today Robin hears how Dennis Mckiver's life saving, death-defying story concludes.
Ever wonder what it's like treating a medical emergency in the middle of a enormous angry ocean? Why poachers hate it when fish & game work nights? And how it feels to have your parachute fail while falling at terminal velocity... more than one time?
Dennis answers all (and more) in the final episode of this double-parter. Thanks again to Dennis for all the wild stories!

EP028: Steve Rogers - wingshooting on Orkney Island, Scotland

The Wild Dispatch

05/21/24 • 92 min

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!

The Wild Dispatch

03/05/24 • 115 min

A man who’s had more than his fair share of close calls in the wild — it’s perhaps unsurprising that Dennis McKiver has a mountain of stories to tell.
From farm-town life south of Sacramento, to his military days across the world, to a career spent chasing poachers for California fish and game, Dennis shares all in the first of two episodes on The Wild Dispatch.
He also happens to be a local member of the hunter-ed squad, and introduced Robin to the concept of bow-hunting.
