Held Accountable Outdoors | Podcast

What happens when you hand the microphone to a 7-year-old?

In this special Daddy & Raphaella episode, the conversation wanders through deer, elk, food… and just about everything in between. It’s funny, unfiltered, and a reminder that kids see the world through a lens adults often lose.

Some of the biggest truths aren’t found in polished speeches—they’re hidden in simple questions, endless curiosity, and the confidence to dream without limits. Children don’t overcomplicate life. They find joy in the little things, ask honest questions, and remind us that time together is worth more than anything money can buy.

Whether you’re a parent, hunter, or someone who just needs a smile, this episode is a lighthearted reminder to slow down, listen, and see the world through a child’s eyes. Sometimes the greatest adventures aren’t in the woods—they’re in the conversations we have along the way. 🌲🦌💚💗

Which trail camera truly comes out on top?

In this episode, we kick off our 2026 Alberta Trail Camera Test, comparing some of today’s leading cellular cameras in real hunting conditions. Throughout the season, each camera will be evaluated in five key categories:

📸 Picture & Video Quality

🔋 Battery Life

📶 Functionality & Connectivity

📱 Phone App & Technology

💰 Overall Cost (including subscriptions and data plans)

We also tackle one of hunting’s hottest debates: Are cellular trail cameras giving hunters an unfair advantage, or are they simply another tool in the evolution of hunting?

No brand loyalty. No paid opinions. Just honest testing, real-world results, and accountability.

The Infamous Collar Bear

Season 3 • Episode 3

Some hunts become legends long before they’re over. In this episode, Ryan Tomuschat of Doubled Down Outdoors joins us to tell the story behind The Infamous Collar Bear—a hunt filled with challenges, persistence, and lessons that extend far beyond the woods.

We dive into the highs and lows of the pursuit, the countless hours of preparation, and why success is built through consistency, patience, and hard work—not shortcuts. More importantly, we discuss how faith keeps us grounded when things don’t go according to plan and reminds us to trust God’s timing through both victories and setbacks.

Whether you’re a hunter or simply enjoy stories of grit and perseverance, this episode is a reminder that the greatest rewards often come after the hardest seasons.

“Success isn’t measured by the harvest alone—it’s measured by the character built during the pursuit.”
