In this episode of the Seek Outside Podcast, we kick things off with a funny but all-too-relatable topic — why are hot tubs never working at hotels and Airbnbs anymore? From there, Owen shares the ups and downs of his tough rifle elk hunt, giving some great insight into what makes elk hunting so challenging and rewarding.

Then we dive deep into backpack selection for backpacking and backcountry hunting. We cover everything you need to know about choosing the right pack fit, frame size, and frame style. We also break down pack fabrics, features, capacity, and how to match your pack to your specific hunting or hiking needs.

To wrap things up, we sit down with Rusty Smith from Baby Booners — a company that uses 3D scanning to create miniature replicas of your big game mounts. If you’ve ever wanted a unique way to remember your trophy, you’ll want to stick around for this conversation!
