From there, we explore his time in the SAS, his connection to bushcraft and nature, and the lessons he’s carried into his work today.We also get into deeper territory - fatherhood, absence, masculinity, and the role of strong male guidance in shaping the next generation.This is a grounded, honest conversation about resilience, responsibility, and finding direction through adversity.Rick's Website:https://rickjpetersen.com/Rick's 1-day Workshop.https://rickjpetersen.com/event/1-day-workshop/Rick's Online Survival Coursehttps://sf.rickjpetersen.com/

Bigfoot’s Wilderness Podcast Bigfoot's Wilderness Podcast Welcome to Bigfoot’s Wilderness. Here, the forest has a voice… and every story leaves footprints. In this podcast, we explore encounters from people who swear they’ve seen something they can’t explain — something massive, intelligent, and watching from the tree line. These aren’t campfire legends or recycled myths. They’re real stories told by real people — hunters, hikers, families, skeptics… ordinary folks who walked into the woods and came back changed. You’ll hear about the eyeshine that follows you down the trail, the sudden silence when the forest seems to hold its breath, and those heavy footsteps that don’t belong to any known animal. Out here, we don’t chase proof — we chase truth.So settle in… because the wilderness is big. And something out there is bigger. Welcome to Bigfoot’s Wilderness.© 2017–2025 Bigfoot’s Wilderness. All Rights Reserved.All audio re
