Becoming an outdoor instructor, encouraging people to get into climbing, the highly contested subject of team land or team water. As well as the quickfire(ish) questions round. Huge thank you to Joel Self, who is an outdoor instructor who shared some of his experience and knowledge. In this interview, we discuss things like: qualifications, how we both became outdoor instructors, encouraging people to get into climbing and touching on the widely debated subject for outdoor instructors. What is better climbing or paddling?   I really enjoyed this chance to chat with Joel, there are lots of nuggets of useful info scattered within the conversation that we had.    If you have any other questions that you would like me to ask in future videos or are interested in taking part yourself, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. It would be great to hear from you!   As mentioned in the video, here is a link to Joel's favourite bits of kit. https://youtu.be/vPejMxUXmnA     Make sure to check out Joel's youtube channel (link below) if you haven't already, there is loads of useful info on there for climbing, rope access, bushcraft and his own experience as an outdoor instructor.   Joel's Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ59DOJv5q3tcOaHmpaHOAQ    Instagram https://www.instagram.com/joelself.outdoorinstructor/?hl=en or @joelself.outdoorinstructor   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/joelselfoutdoorinstructor/  Website https://www.joelselfoutdoorinstructor.weebly.com   .............................................................................................................................................................   If this stuff is useful, give it a LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!!
