00:00 Introduction and Background
Frankie Foss of Foss Media joins me on the podcast to discuss backcountry food and meal planning for outdoor adventures. Frankie spends most of the year either in the mountains producing amazing adventure stories or planning and packing for the next adventure. So, I am asking Frankie about the importance of enjoying and nourishing meals in the mountains and sharing their favourite meals and brands.
Frankie emphasizes the value of high-quality ingredients and the satisfaction of knowing where your food comes from. We also discuss the challenges of overpacking and the balance between simplicity and variety in meal planning. In this conversation, we discuss our experiences with backcountry meals and the importance of maintaining a healthy gut while on outdoor adventures. We share their go-to meals and snacks, including nuts, dried fruit, and soups. The conversation concludes with a discussion on meal planning, organization for extended trips, and our upcoming hunting adventures.

00:00 - Introduction and Motivation for Podcasting
I am trying something new here. I am recording this podcast solo and sharing my hunt packing plan and the gear I bring for my upcoming elk hunt. I am very curious how this lands with the EatWild audience. If this podcast translates for you, then let me know and I'll share more like this.
Here is my Adventure Hunt Planning List. Feel free to follow along on this podcast as I share how I organize, plan, and pack for my hunt. This is a general list. There is no guarantee this is has everything you need for a hunt, but it's a good starting point. Download and save a copy and add it to it for you. Please let me know if I missed anything too!
This podcast is about planning a hunting trip, explicitly focusing on the initial concept or plan, choosing hunting partners, coordinating logistics, and organizing gear and food. I share my comprehensive gear list and considerations for food planning, including the trade-offs between freeze-dried meals and cooking real food. I share my theory for a detailed packing list, including food, a day hunting kit, a spike camp kit, a base camp kit, a clothing kit, a meat care kit, a personal kit, a tech kit, and elk hunting gear.
Dylan’s gear list.
Join me at the Spike Camp community at 7 pm, on August 27th, 2024. I’ll be conducting an online presentation on early-season elk hunting.

Ashley and Jason gifted us a fly-in hunting adventure as a wedding present. Wow! What a generous gift, and clearly, these amazing friends know us well. In August 2023, after a year of excitement and planning, Miki, Ashley, Jason, and I were loaded up in a float plane and flying deep into the Cassiar wilderness in Northern BC.
Join us on our 2023 Cassiar Mountain hunting adventure. Miki, Ashley, and Jay will guide us through this epic hunting adventure while on the hunt taking refuge from the storm in the tipi tent. Stick around to the end, and you'll know why we are celebrating Ashley and Jason today. Also, you can bet that there will be another adventure with this crew next year!
Please note that this hunt happened in 2023 when the Caribou hunt was still managed as a general open season. In 2024, Caribou will be managed under the Limited Entry Hunting Program.

In this episode, I am joined by hunting guide and conservationist Nolan Osborne. Nolan and I were due for a catch-up as we look ahead to the bear hunting season and the upcoming Wild Sheep Foundation Solute to Conservation and Mountain Huntain Expo. Over the years, Nolan and I have had deep conversations on the ethics associated with hunting. Last week, a notable Canadian hunting content creator was found guilty of several poaching charges in B.C. and Alberta. This disappointing news made some big waves in our hunting community and raised questions about the ethics of content creation in the hunting space. In the episode, we discuss the responsibility and accountability of being legal and ethical hunters and the complexities and pressures of creating content that relies on successful hunts.
I'll be presenting at the Mountain Hunting Expo at 2 pm on Friday, so stop by and learn about meat care in the mountains. Find out more about the Wild Sheep Society Event.
