In episode 1, Sam talks with Jim Shields.Jim Shields is a high school teacher from Pennsylvania, who overcame numerous obstacles to bring bushcraft and outdoor education into his classroom. He did a brief stint on Alone season 3, before returning home earlier than expected to welcome home 3 adopted sons. He’s introduced hundreds of students to the great outdoors, and he’s on track for hundreds more. During our talk we discuss how he went about founding a survival skills class, how he handles the occasional insubordinate or uninterested student, how he managed to get permission to use knives and fire at school, and much more. For more information, check out samexplores.com
