The Life Outside Podcast

In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Brett Merchant. Brett is a seasoned outdoor adventurer, with extensive experience in orienteering, rogaining, backpacking, ultra running, and long-distance kayak touring. He has paddled from source to sea on the Murray River, the 3rd longest navigable river on Earth, which took almost 3 months. He followed that incredible adventure up with another source-to-sea expedition on South Africa’s Vaal + Orange Rivers. Brett shares stories from his time on the water and out bush, including getting stuck in strainers and on snags whilst on remote river systems, competing in rogaining competitions, and experiencing the kindness of strangers in the midst of some of his wildest adventures.
