We chat with Jeff Stringer with Vantage point archery.

Shoot what works for you and Tune your damn bow!

Welcome back to the Backcountry Pa Podcast | The Hunting Process

On this episode I sit down with the owner of Spartan Forge, Bill Thompson. We talk about what hunting means to us and why bow hunting means so much more then just harvesting an animal.

After that we dive into Spartan forge, as I primarily use OnX and have only used Spartan Forge three times. I really wanted to talk about all the TOOLS that Spartan Forge offers and how to use some of them.

We also talk about how Spartan forge is giving back to the ones that put their lives on the line so that we can go out and chase after these wild animals in wild places.

I now used both OnX and Spartan Forge, each has their own benefits!Thank you for listening and Watching! I hope you have a good week!

XOP just dropped their full 2025 mobile hunting setup, and we’ve got the full breakdown. In this episode, we dive deep into the brand-new Fly, Super Fly, and Roem treestands, the all-new Revolt climber, and the updated Hydro sticks.

Whether you’re a public land bowhunter, a saddle hunter looking for a hybrid setup, or just obsessed with light, mobile gear, this is your go-to review for XOP’s latest drop.

We compare specs, features, noise levels, packability, and price points across the new gear—and how they stack up against previous XOP setups

What’s Covered:

• First impressions on the Fly, Super Fly & Roem stands

• Is the Revolt climber a game changer for mobile hunters?

• Hydro sticks: lighter, quieter, better?

• Who these setups are for—saddle guys, hang-and-bang hunters, or full-day sitters?

We now have all of the episodes recorded and ready to be released!

Woodsmanship: is a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge acquired through experience that allows individuals to navigate, survive, and thrive in outdoor environments, particularly in the woods. It involves understanding the land, weather, wildlife, and biology of a particular area, enabling informed decisions and actions in the wilderness.

I tend to find myself wanting to do a series every year, first I wanted to do a New Hunter Series (Still got some for those) but i found my self looking at the bigger picture. In order to be "successful" whatever that means to YOU. We all need to have some sort of Woodsmanship. Hence why I wanted to put the Woodsmanship series together.
