Beyond the Kill

On this episode, Nolan visits with Rydell Reinbold, owner and founder of Aziak Equipment. An Alaskan native that grew up hunting moose, Rydell started Aziak out of the desire to solve his own need for lightweight backcountry glassing solutions, and the ball hasn't stopped rolling. Nolan has used the Aziak Bino Clamp for the last year guiding and hunting, which lead him to bring Rydell onto the podcast.

****EXPLICIT LANGUAGE – NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN***

It's that time of year when we should thinking good and hard about the gear we need to upgrade or replace. With this in mind, we're reposting one of the Precision Insights episodes from last spring that focused exclusively on tripods.

This is one area where, if you do your research, you can actually find some solid options that won't break the bank. You don't need to spend a ton to create a stable glassing system, but you do need something that's functional for your needs & optics.

If you're new to the podcast, our Precision Insights series features Omer Hrbinic, the owner/founder of Precision Optics, where we do an in-depth analysis and breakdown of the most important equipment that you will buy as a mountain and backcountry hunter.

If you didn't catch these episodes last year, you're going to want to go back and check out the Precision Insights series that were released between January 31, 2022 and March 28, 2022.
