Accessible Hunter Podcast – Hudson Johnson, Owner of H3D Tactical

On this episode of the Accessible Hunter Podcast, Greg and Mike sit down with Hudson Jackson, owner of H3D Tactical, to talk about turning a simple shooting-range problem into an innovative, Made-in-the-USA solution.

Hudson shares the story behind H3D Tactical, the inspiration for the patent-pending T-Dapter system, and his approach to designing practical, affordable, and modular gear for shooters. We also talk about building a business from the ground up, the importance of testing your ideas in the real world, and how H3D Tactical is making it easier to set up targets for everything from paper and steel to clay targets.

It’s a great conversation about shooting, innovation, entrepreneurship, and creating gear that solves real problems.

This week on the Accessible Hunter Podcast, we welcome Lasha Barbosa!

Lasha has an incredible story of resilience, survival, and rediscovering the healing power of the outdoors.

Born in Whitehorse, Yukon, and raised in a wall tent while traveling through rural communities across northern Canada, Lasha’s early life was deeply connected to the land. After illness, a devastating brain tumor diagnosis, and life-changing surgery that left her mute and facing lasting challenges, she found herself drawn back outside.

Touching the grass. Feeling the wind. Holding a rock. Harvesting berries.

Those simple moments helped reconnect her with the outdoors—and eventually led her into hunting, trapping, conservation, and using her artwork to give back to the outdoor community.

Today, Lasha and her husband, caregiver, and interpreter Chris continue to prove that challenges don’t have to mean the end of your adventures.

Her message is one we can all get behind:

Nature is powerful medicine. Get outside. Find your place.

We talk about her incredible journey, the Taber Pheasant Festival, Women Hunt, conservation, Field-to-Fork hunting in Texas, the importance of caregivers, and why getting back outside can change everything.

And we finish with a question that perfectly captures what Accessible Hunter is all about.

No matter how you get there, GET THERE.

Jeremy Kerr is a person with a spinal cord injury. He is a paraplegic living in South Carolina with his wife and daughter. We talk about how his summer is going, keeping his daughter entertained outdoors. We also discuss pressure wounds and what it takes to get them healed and how important it is to have individuals in the community to talk with about your spinal cord injury.

This week on the Accessible Hunter podcast Mike and Greg are joined by Gary Krueger II from Wisconsin.

Gary shares his story of growing up in Wisconsin, his love of hunting and fishing. And how becoming a paraplegic changed, but didn’t end his connection to the outdoors.

We’ll talk adaptive equipment, Hunting from a wheelchair, fishing, the challenges many able-bodied hunters never have to consider, and the people who have helped Gary keep moving forward.

Most importantly, Gary has a message for anyone who has recently experienced a spinal cord injury and thinks they’re hunting and fishing days are over. They’re not over you just might have to do things differently.

This week, Mike & Greg talk with Paul “Bo” Bollinger, President & CEO of Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB).

Bo has an incredible story, from aviation to adaptive sailing and helping build the Annapolis Adaptive Boating Center, one of the premier accessible boating facilities in the world.

We’re talking adaptive sailing, accessibility, veterans, adaptive equipment, independence, and what happens when people with disabilities get the opportunity to get out on the water.

And don’t miss the CRAB Cup on August 15th, sponsored by the Brian & Patricia Giese Foundation, at The Boatyard Bar & Grill!

Just like we always say: No Matter How You Get There, GET THERE.

This week on the Accessible Hunter Podcast, we’re joined by Ira Edwards!

Ira has spent years proving that the outdoors should be accessible to everyone, and his story is filled with incredible people and organizations that stepped up to make that possible.

In this episode, Ira shares how organizations like High Fives Foundation, Kelly Brush Foundation, Challenge Athletes Foundation, Chive Charities, Big Agnes, and Eagle Claw helped him gain access to adaptive equipment and opened doors to new adventures. From handcycles and adaptive skiing to surfing, camping, fishing, and hunting, these partnerships have helped him—and countless others—experience the outdoors without limits.

One story that really stands out is the High Fives Foundation. Ira was just their 10th athlete in 2011, and today they’ve helped more than 1,400 adaptive athletes. They’re currently accepting grant applications, so if you or someone you know could benefit, this is an opportunity worth checking out.

This conversation is packed with inspiration, practical resources, and a reminder that the right support can change lives.
