Outdoor education is a unique approach to teaching with a setting unrivaled. With Alaska's vast wilderness, both aquatic and terrestrial, there is no shortage of classroom space in which to engage students. On today's episode, we invite Alex Bell-Johnson who first came to Alaska as a student with NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) to discuss his experience engaging in scholarship in the epic surroundings of the last frontier. What are the benefits of taking an outdoor education course? How long does it take to go to the bathroom while backpacking? And is it pretentious to say autumn instead of fall? It's the episode you'll need to erect a shale thrown for.
