For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I’m joined by Kevin Estela, outdoorsman, author, and survival and bushcraft instructor
Kevin first fell in love with the outdoors at a young age kid. Being inspired by his father's World War II survival stories from the jungles of the Philippines. He later became a history teacher for 14 years, and along the way built a reputation as an expert in survival, fieldcraft, and wilderness skills. He is also the author of 101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods, and more recently Beyond the Field, plus over 150 articles in print and digital media.
In this episode, Kevin talks about his journey as an outdoorsman, how he transitioned from teaching in a classroom to teaching in the wild, and stories from his many adventures. We dig into real, practical survival and preparedness tips, from mindset shifts to everyday skills. Plus some of the often overlooked fieldcraft lessons that he's taught to his many students. We also talk about hope, perseverance, and what it means to keep growing and become more capable.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
