Liam(Primal Nomad) catches up with a great fellow Bushcrafter & Owner of Wildway Bushcraft , John Boe. Having served in the Military since the age of 18 John was no stranger to the world or camping, although his journey through bushcraft was sparked through his trials with PTSD & mental health rather than directly through his service. This transition was paramount in helping him find inner peace and the space to nurture and grow a love of the outdoors into a successful company providing educational courses for new and experienced students.
