Six years ago, Kenneth Thrall cold-emailed me asking what would happen if he moved to Wyoming. Then, he bought a house in Riverton and believed if he went full send, he'd figure it out. Fast forward to today and he's a key part of Kifaru International, grinding behind the scenes and in the mountains. In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to bet on yourself, start at the bottom, and go all in, whether it's in hunting or life. On the hunting side, we go deep into the chess match with a 9.5-year-old mule deer, the patience it takes to hunt mature bucks under pressure, and why sometimes fewer tags lead to better seasons. On the gear side, we dig into the new clothing launch from Kifaru, including innovative mid-layers, updated late-season systems, and what's coming down the pipeline for packs like the Hoodlum and 44 Mag. If you care about in-depth good hunting stories and a mindset that keep you more successful in the mountains, this one's for you.
