The Nature Reliance Podcast: Where Wilderness and Human Nature Collide
The Nature Reliance Podcast explores real stories of wilderness survival, human decision-making under stress, awareness, and the lessons nature quietly teaches us all.
Hosted by Craig Caudill of Nature Reliance School, this podcast blends immersive storytelling, historical accounts, wilderness experience, modern psychology, and reflective analysis into a grounded exploration of what happens when people are tested by nature, uncertainty, fear, and consequence.
This is not fake survival nonsense.
These are thoughtful, psychologically realistic stories about awareness, humility, resilience, and the ways stress exposes human gaps.
From historical wilderness disasters to modern survival incidents, tracking stories, close calls, and lessons learned in the field, each episode examines not just what happened, but why.
Because awareness is trainable.
Nature rewards humility.
And the best classroom has no walls.

#35 Practical Bushcraft
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this podcast Nature Reliance Director Craig Caudill takes a critical look at "bushcrafting" and what he feels most schools are missing. He discussed how to be both a steward of natural resources and at the same time remove live species during training. This is a combination that is often missing in most survival and bushcraft schools that Nature Reliance School is uniquely qualified to be different from the "rest of the pack".
