Podcast Overview

After nearly a decade living and working in the Okavango Delta, filming hit Natural History wildlife shows including Big Cats 24/7, Living With Leopards, Surviving Paradise and Our Planet II, Greg Hartman, Rea Shulte to Brinke and Tristen Woodward face their biggest challenge yet - swapping the savannah for suburbia and losing the big budgets that go with it. Wildly Off Track dives into the lives of three friends and colleagues, who are more intimidated by supermarket self-service checkouts, UK health & safety rules and sunsets taking place later than 7pm, than they ever were by the lions, leopards and cheetahs they shared their home with. If you've ever watched the last 10-mins of a wildlife doc - the "How they made it" bit - and thought that’s the interesting part, well, this is the unsanitised version. This is your introduction to the chaos. Unscripted. Unfiltered. Unashamedly wild. Follow @WildlyOffTrack on Insta for updates, clips - and when things have gone so far off track the record needs putting straight.

<p>⚠️ <strong>WARNING:</strong> This episode contains survival plans, domesticated seagulls, Quidditch recruitment, and dangerously high levels of nostalgia.</p><p></p><p>With Rea and Trist preparing to return to Botswana, what starts as a conversation about heading back to the bush quickly turns into an unexpectedly emotional farewell to years spent living, filming and occasionally losing their minds together in the Okavango.</p><p></p><p>The boys debate who would survive longest if abandoned in the wilderness, why Greg would be completely insufferable on a survival expedition, and whether Producer Mark is secretly the strongest member of the team.</p><p></p><p>Elsewhere, there’s flooded deltas, barefoot living, kebabs, Biscoff, Bristol street photography, Britain’s thriving Quidditch scene, and a serious proposal that Greg should solve his friendship problems by acquiring a domesticated seagull.</p><p></p><p>Plus: the reality of breaking into wildlife filmmaking, spending months waiting for a two-minute animal sequence, becoming emotionally attached to lions and leopards, and why the wild eventually stops feeling like work and starts feeling like home.</p>

Ep12: "“That’s A Lot Of Bears They Shot For That Then”🐻

<p>⚠️ WARNING: The bear-to-hat conversion rates discussed in this episode have not been independently verified.</p><p></p><p>Greg returns from London fascinated by Buckingham Palace, confused by royal traditions, and convinced that one bear could probably produce three ceremonial hats.</p><p></p><p>Things don’t improve from there.</p><p></p><p>The boys discuss Scotland’s national unicorn, UFOs over the Okavango Delta, tourists accidentally wandering through lion territory, and why a highly anticipated pangolin sighting turned out to be something considerably less exciting.</p><p></p><p>There’s also a safari guide who removed his shoes in preparation for a buffalo attack, mysterious floating lights in the African sky, tracking mistakes that sent vehicles across entire concessions, and Greg’s admission that he once spent over a kilometre pursuing a predator that was actually a planet.</p><p></p><p>Plus: wildlife conspiracies, professional bullshitters, Starlink satellites, celebrity Traitors strategies, and a reminder that confidence and competence are not always the same thing.</p>
