A Tribute To Ron Hood | episode 267

Today’s episode is a bit different, it’s a tribute to survivalist Ron Hood. Ron passed away June 22, 2011. It may seem odd to make a tribute to a man who died 13 years ago. But only if you haven’t followed his work.

I sadly never got to meet Ron. I only knew him from his vast body of work. His videos, magazines, and podcast appearances.

Video Series

Ron put out 16 DVDs with his wife Karen, 12 in the Woodsmaster Series and 4 in their cavecooking series. Both of these series are great. I might only be missing one in my collection. The last of the cavecooking video. This series presents the special skills that can make your time in the wilderness more enjoyable, safer and make you far more confident. The videos are hosted by Ron Hood who will show you many interesting and important wilderness living and survival skills. The presentation of these skills is enhanced with clear explanation, great photography and many of the special “little tricks” that few but the most experienced Woodsmaster will ever know.

Magazine

The magazine follows the video series in that the first issue is an oddity that doesn’t start with spark-based fire. The rest follow with shelter building and survival kits and so on. While researching this podcast I realized I don’t have all the magazines and will be getting them.
