Bowyer Podcast

In episode 4 of our Be A Man series, we focus on Companionship with guest Greg Krause. Greg is a traditional bowhunter, devoted father, and outstanding husband to his lovely bride, Logan Krause.  I’ve had deep and often humorous fireside conversations with Greg and Logan both, and a key topic often includes marriage, parenthood, and being married to your favorite person.

In episode three of The Bowyer Podcast’s “Be a Man” series, host Matthew Morris talks with author and counselor Luke (L.S.) Goozdich about why men need “story” through both literature and personal narrative. Luke shares his background living with a congenital heart defect, later blood clots, and ongoing organ failure, and explains how rejecting fatalism and choosing empowering narratives helped him keep moving forward. They discuss modern victim mentality, the influence of fiction on boys and men, and reading as a form of rebellion against constant phone-driven stimulation. Gudish describes his path into adventure fiction via ’80s action films and Louis L’Amour, co-founding Veritas Entertainment and the Men’s Adventure Fiction Podcast, and outlines his Noah Redford series (Fire in the Tall Grass, Odyssey of Fire, and upcoming Fire in the Tomb).

On Episode 2 of the Be A Man series , host Matthew Morris and guest Bryan Burkhardt discuss how to balance family duties, career obligations, and outdoor callings. Bryan Burkhardt, a longtime GM executive and Past-President with Compton Traditional Bowhunters, shares how he made time for marriage, fatherhood, faith, and demanding work while prioritizing wilderness time to “recalibrate.” The conversation covers mentorship, setting expectations at home and at work for extended trips, and how solitude in places like Alaska drives reflection and perspective. Brian recounts early adventure hunts inspired by Fred Bear, his first major trip to the Northwest Territories, and being stranded during 9/11, plus close encounters with grizzlies and aggressive moose. He emphasizes priorities, goal-setting, and doing the right things at the right time—without being too hard on yourself.

Matthew Morris introduces a 10-part “Be a Man” series on The Bowyer Podcast that shifts focus from traditional bowhunting to conversations about masculinity, faith, family, and character, beginning with “Adventure.” He and guest Monty Browning (77½ year-old), a longtime arborist, traditional bowhunter, author, and mentor, discuss warm friendships , service, and fellowship. - alongside grit, austerity, and adventure.

Monty recounts dangerous, formative adventures: hunting muskox in extreme Arctic cold with a homemade Osage bow, mountain hunting in Turkey, Cape buffalo in Mozambique amid landmines and armed ex-combatants, and a close-quarters Alaska brown bear kill with a longbow. Monty explains how poverty, early dreams, a low-cost elk hunt, saving and borrowing money, and hard work enabled decades of travel - while being a postal worker and dedicated husband. They argue men need risk, discomfort, and facing fears to grow, return recalibrated to family life, and practice honesty, humility, integrity, service, and emotional openness.

Its nothing sexy, I'm just going to layout the gear that I use because it works. This wont blow your mind, but it could help you when deciding what and how to layer, depending on climate and terrain. You dont need the most expensive kit - you only need what helps you hunt longer, and closer to your quarry. Happy Hunting.
