Welcome to the very first Mossy Bottom Patreon Podcast. Every episode I'll be taking a walk through the woods, with Moss for company, updating you on the progress I've made in the previous month, and answering as many of those tricky questions as I can. There's lots more to ...

Okay, so goal 2 was in fact to raise enough funds to purchase a camera and wireless mic, but what better way to share my new purchase with you than by strapping it on to Moss and going for an adventure in the woods?
A huge thank you - as always - for your contribution. It really does make a...
