Episode 85: From Combat to Campfire: Paul Shilling on Service, Brotherhood, and Operation Jackdaw

In this episode of Frankie’s Pod, Frankie sits down with Paul Shilling, a former soldier with the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment (PWRR) and the founder of Operation Jackdaw — a wild camping experience for veterans near Canterbury, Kent. Paul shares stories from his military career, the challenges of transitioning to civilian life, and how the outdoors became a lifeline for him and fellow veterans. Hear how a love for wild camping grew into a monthly retreat where ex-military and serving personnel find connection, peace, and purpose under the stars.https://www.operationjackdaw.co.uk/Don't forget you can help the channel by buying me a virtual coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/frankiespodOr support me via PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Frank...Closing music by Julie Cooper of The Last Post memorial bar/ museum & Hub.
