Challenges Of Being A Professional Guide | JMB Podcast Episode 66

Episode 66 of the Jack Mountain Bushcraft Podcast is about the challenges that come with the job of being a professional guide and outdoor instructor. While what we do can look idyllic from the outside, it’s not without difficulty. Christopher and I discuss 8 specific challenges that come with the job: * You are never off duty. * You are part of the group, but you have no peers. * You have to make unpopular decisions for the good and safety of the group. * You are a beast of burden. * Time spent away from home and loved ones. * The ever present danger of making your hobby into your job. * You’re expected to know everything about everything, all the time. * You are the social director for the groups you work with.
