Thursday Sep 05, 2024
Thursday Sep 05, 2024
Adam is one of those legit BC killers that quietly gets it done every year on great animals. Last time he was on the podcast we discussed his phenomenal blacktail record and this time we chatted about his similar streak with Stone’s Sheep.

After the frustrations I experienced during my recent Mountain Goat hunt, I decided on my way home that I needed to completely overhaul my long-range hunting system. I reached out to Caylen from Modern Day Sniper and we agreed to collaborate together on some content detailing my journey. Here is part 1 with much more on the way

EP 187 - Are These Insoles Worth $300? SheepFeet 2 Year Field Tested Review
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
I have spent a lifetime hiking in the mountains, and I also have Morton’s Neuroma which has led me to be very particular about both my boot choice and the insoles I use inside them. I have tried multiple custom orthotics and was always intrigued but skeptical about Sheepfeet. I have now run my custom insoles from Sheepfeet for the last two years and felt compelled to post a review. I hope this review is helpful.

EP 186 - How Important Are Heat Fins on a Backcountry Cook Stove?
Thursday Aug 01, 2024
Thursday Aug 01, 2024
I love doing head-to-head product reviews but sometimes it’s hard to capture all the nuance of the underlying technologies or materials. So, I wanted to take a first principles approach to gear reviews in this new series and start to look at individual variables separate from the products themselves. I have wanted to do a backcountry stove review for a while but have been challenged by what systems to include. With that in mind, I backed up a step and derived some tests to look at how important heating fins were on the pots themselves. I was quite surprised at the results.

EP 184 - Total Gimmick?!? Or Best New Piece of Late-Season Hunting Gear?!?
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
Over the last three years, I have slowly become obsessed with late-season whitetail hunting. The one difficulty is staying warm for 10 hour sits in -20 degree weather! I have experimented with multiple different heating strategies and think I have finally found the best one for my hunting style.
Last year I ran The IconX Heated Core Long Sleeve and Pant from Pnuma Outdoors and wanted to share a detailed review of my experience.
