#2.03 How to Survive a Tasmanian Winter

In this episode Henry has a yarn with survival instructor Alex Mileham and asked him a burning question - what  do you do in a survival situation in the depths of a Tasmanian winter?

After years of solo adventuring and training from some of the world's most renowned survival experts, Alex began to share his knowledge with others through wilderness survival courses. From bushcraft to mindset, Alex's whole philosophy can be summed up into these three words - Never give up.
