We’re rerunning a foundational episode while the crew is dropped in Alaska’s Brooks Range. This “From the Vault” throwback is the origin story of Wilder Minds—why we built it, who we are, and the mindset driving everything from DIY Alaska to Ohio whitetails.

Inside: the viral “cannibalism” headline (and the real hunter’s rite-of-passage conversation about hearts, ethics, and respect), a Yukon night that devolved into street football in Dawson City, and a candid debate on AI trail cameras—patterning deer, filtering images, and where tech crosses the line. We also hit the early trade-show pulse (SHOT, NWTF, NRA Great American), why the youth wave matters, and how camp, camaraderie, and story still carry the lifestyle.

If you’re chasing more—more adventure, more discipline, more family time in wild places—this is the refresh. It’s the why behind the project, the tone behind the mics, and the shove out the door.
