EP 196 – 2024 Guiding Season Part 1: 6pt Bull Elk Down in BC
Thursday Oct 03, 2024
Thursday Oct 03, 2024
I am going to do my best to document this year’s guiding season through the podcast. First up is a combo moose/elk hunt at Primitive Outfitting. I go over the first hunt of the season in this episode. I had two great hunters who busted their ass and we were able to kill a great elk.

This one is a hard one to record. Sometimes no matter how hard you work or how much you plan things just fall apart. I have always prided myself on being as authentic and transparent as possible and I will continue to shard my hard-earned lessons with anyone who wants to listen.

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.
