Adventure One

Recorded spontaneously, while cooking up a mountain house meal on a campout, I discuss some new gear and the shared values of the two sides of the outdoor recreation community, uniting hunters and fishermen with hikers, climbers, and other enthusiasts.

In this impromptu episode I answer questions send to me by friends and listeners, covering everything from hiking gear, to concealed carry, to disaster preparedness

In this episode, I divert slightly from the normal topics of hunting, camping, hiking, and fishing, and talk about building a small home garden or "Victory garden". This is a fun project that can give you a new simple hobby (especially if you are stir-crazy at home right now), while bringing you healthy food. This can also lessen your demand on the supply chain and your susceptibility to the panic buying of others, giving you a constant and healthy food source, no matter the condition of the local grocery stores.

With the world freaking out about the COVID19 pandemic, I want to step back and look at basic emergency preparedness, and what we can do to keep a cool head and be prepared, in the face of a society motivated by fear.

It is almost turkey season! It is time to get your shotgun ready. Whether you are in the market for a new gun, just want the basics that will get your through the season, or want to turn an old gun into a dedicated turkey hunting rig, here are some tips that can turn a regular shotgun into a turkey killin' machine.

In this episode, I urge people to be more aware of (and more personally involved in) where the meat they consume actually comes from. If it is purchased in a store, it didn't come from the store - be aware of what it is, how it was cared for, and how it got there.

I purchase fruit and vegetables and ingredients from the store, but I try to source as much of my meat personally as I can. To me, this is one of the biggest reasons why I hunt deer and hogs in Texas. I also advocate fishing, and trading. Any way you can be closer to the food source, with fewer factories and processing facilities involved is always good.

Another episode for rifle dorks. In this podcast episode I discuss the details of my long range precision rifle setup. With the goal of hitting small targets at significant distance, I wanted an extremely accurate rifle that is fun to shoot and doesn't break the bank. My goal wasn't to build a "budget" gun, but I wanted to keep the cost reasonable, and still get awesome results. I discuss everything from the ammo I use to to optic, the bipod, and even the sling. Give this episode a listen and join me in geeking out about accurate rifle gear. Whether you have been shooting rifles for a long time, or you are just getting into this exciting world, it is fun to consider the possibilities of long distance target shooting.

In this episode I am joined by Kyle and Mario who tell the story of their successful south Texas Axis Deer hunt. Axis are beautiful, jumpy, and delicious. They are an exotic so they have not season or limits. They are often found on high fence ranches, but are not free ranging in much of south-central Texas.

From bald eagles to bison, Jonathan tells the story of his adventure traveling through Yellowstone on snowmobiles with a group of friends.

Hey adventurers! it has been way too long since my last episode. A lot has happened, including a trip to south west Texas with Daniel where he was able to tag a great doe and I was able to shoot my buck. Unfortunately not all went as planned with my buck. This is the story of what went wrong and what I was able to recover from it.
