Aron welcomes Bill Thompson from Spartan Forge to the the podcast.  They talk about all the new updates coming from Spartan Forge.  And if you're not familiar with Spartan Forge, you need to be.  One of the most advanced and innovative hunting tools available, it's a disservice to simply call it a mapping software.  From the LiDAR and UAV Mapping, to the Deer Movement Prediction tools and their In-App Live Pin Sharing, they are must more than your typical mapping software.  Great time having Bill on the show.  Make sure you like and subscribe to the podcast as well as the Born Primitive Outdoor YouTube channel.  Huge thanks to our amazing partners!

Aron welcomes Joe Gauvain and Ross Ellis from Drifter Hydration to the podcast.  Aron has hustorically not been a fan of the traditional water bladder systems, often prone to leaking and failure, which can lead to a number of issues from wet gear to the inability to store water at camp.  That was until he found the Drifter Hydration system.  If you combine all the key things from a nalgene, a bladder, and a filtration setup - you end up with arguably the most veratile system out there, the Drifter Hydration Lite System.  The boys talk about the journey and the future of Drifter Hydration, as well as share some of the key features that sets them apart from the competition.  Great time with Joe and Ross on this weeks episode of the Born Primitive Outdoor Podcast with Aron Snyder.
