Episode 5: Gastro in the wild

There's sunshine, thunderstorms and stonkers as participants make it past the 14 day mark. Gina Chick and Darren Mara chat about the highs and lows of bow hunting, the palatability of seaweed, and getting gastro in the wild. We chat to one of the participants about their attitude to risk, and learn about Ecopsychology from psychologist Mark Mathieson who has consulted for Alone Australia. We all know it's good for us to touch grass and get some sunlight, but what does being in nature actually do for the brain?
