About Brian Wattchow
"Get outside," my parents said when I was a kid. So I did - spending the next 60 years walking, climbing, paddling, fishing, riding my bike. G'day, I'm Brian 'Ponch' Wattchow - I've been a teacher, guide, academic, traveller and writer. I'm fascinated by people's search for meaning in the outdoors. I've written books, dozens of articles and been a keynote speaker at conferences around the world. My PhD was on paddlers and rivers. This channel uses storytelling, art, photography and poetry to explore the nature of the outdoor experience - not just what we do and how we do it, but why we do what we do when we get outside.
