We sit down with Greg Walters from Winchester Safes and talk shop—how his family built a business tough enough to carry the Winchester name, and the kind of gear upgrades that actually make your life easier in the field. Then Chris unloads the story of the Kansas “controlled burn” that turned his 2500 HD into a rolling fireball. Picture propane tanks blowing, ammo ripping like a fireworks finale, and every bit of gear he owned melting into the dirt. It’s chaos, it’s hilarious now, and it’s proof that when things go bad, you either have it locked down or you watch it burn.

This one’s all over the map—in the best way possible. We kick things off in Nashville, bouncing from dive bars to Kid Rock’s place, running into the Huffer Brothers, and watching a mechanical bull claim a fingernail or two. From there, it’s Prohibition history with Dutch Schultz, bootlegger tunnels, and a gun that somehow made it from a Maine bar to a New York City restaurant table. We break down roadkill salvage rules, swap Bigfoot crew stories, and detour into the wild world of reality TV trainwrecks. Somewhere in the mix, there’s Kid Rock hunting fantasies, the chaos of Zach Bryan’s “biting list” drama, and a detour through Detroit’s hidden speakeasies. It’s grit, music, and madness—all stitched together with the kind of stories you only get when you’ve lived them.

We throw it back to a deep one-on-one with Brandon Calhoon — Michigan hoops legend turned rock star, songwriter, and the voice behind some of our most iconic outdoor tunes. From ripping AC/DC riffs at a high school pep rally to the wild ride of reality TV, Nashville grind, and life on the road, Brandon shares the raw stories behind the music and the moments that shaped him. This isn’t just an interview — it’s a journey through grit, growth, and the soundtrack of a life lived full throttle. Pour a shot, crack a beer, and listen close.

Planning for Dropped is a battle before the boots hit the ground. Flights booked. Gear stashed. Last meals savored. Casey checks in live from Canada while Chris and JB break down the gritty logistics and mental grind it takes to get ready for the wild unknown. We’re talking strategy born from 20 years in the dirt, a deep dive into the new DIY Alaska Hunt Academy that's rolling out with the app, and why the real drop starts long before the plane leaves the tarmac. This isn’t just prep — it’s survival sharpened by experience.

Casey checks in live from the heart of Canada’s waterfowl capital, where wildfires burn and millions of ducks fill the prairie potholes. Casey’s at a family wedding near Manitou Beach’s salty float zone while Chris breaks down what it means to hold deer through fall with smart feed and habitat management. Plus, a deep dive on how supplemental feed affects deer digestion and population—this is survival strategy turned science. Then, we look ahead to the upcoming Dropped season prep, including a partnership that’s taking our body-testing to a whole new level with nutrition science and real backcountry stress. It’s all grit, guts, and the hard-earned truth about what it takes to stay sharp on the edge.

It’s curveball season—but the good kind. Chris and Casey load up the kids, brother, and dad for a fishing trip up north, but the wild doesn’t make it easy. The cabin’s taken over by a bear like it’s a 5-star resort, boats keep breaking down or getting lost, and storms hit the water harder than a freight train. The kids are seeing it all for the first time—wild moments, real lessons, and a whole lot of unexpected challenges.

The gear’s been stress-tested by 10-year-olds in the garage, the storm’s been weathered, and somehow the boats are still afloat. Chris and Casey go full survival mode—bailing boats, battling waves, and keeping everyone safe. Walleye sushi, near-death boat rides, and cigars in the middle of the mess—it’s not about inches or fish caught. It’s about the full-circle moments, trust, and a legacy built in the wild.

This one digs deep into the fault lines of the outdoor community. The crew goes full-send on the divide in hunting—crossbows vs. vertical bows, public vs. private land, and the growing tension between tradition and access. They call out gatekeeping, ego, and the way jealousy and ego poison progress in the outdoors. Then it’s onto Alaska, ANWR, and a debate that could reshape everything: should untouched lands be opened up for more people to experience, or should they stay wild and inaccessible to preserve what makes them special?

Plus: crossbow prescriptions, 90-year-old legends, the KB ecosystem launch, and the mad dash to wrap content before a well-earned fishing trip.

It’s chaos season—but the good kind. Gunner just hit double digits, JB’s losing golf bets, and the Keefer crew is gearing up for an off-grid fishing trip with the kids. The nostalgia’s thick, the gear’s already been stress-tested by 10-year-olds in the garage, and the planning for Dropped is officially in full swing.

Casey breaks down the upcoming DIY Alaska Masterclass—why it’s needed, how it’s built from scars not scripts, and why it’s about time more people realize Alaska isn’t just for the rich. They get into public land battles in Washington, foreign knockoffs trying to poach American brands, and why policy transparency (or lack thereof) should matter to everyone who hunts. Oh, and JB bet on a golfer and walked away with 47 cents.

Graduation open houses turn into shirtless chaos, Darcy runs a covert chicken wing smuggling operation, and the boys recap a blitz of a trip to CMA Fest—racing Ross Chastain in a NASCAR sim, speakeasy cocktails at Snoop & Dre’s bar, and a surprise run-in with Holy Roller singer Sierra Ferrell.

Also: a stranger in a thrifted “Rick Hawkins Lumber” hat turns out to be a Canadian country artist, the bucks are blowing up in velvet, and the 1900 Feed program has the crew driving south just to keep the troughs full. You want stories? This one’s got ‘em.

It starts with Casey’s wallet getting shredded on the roadside and ends with Chris almost plowing four acres by hand like a badger—all because of a book. Somewhere in between, a stranger named Doug shows up in Chris’ driveway, wanders into his garage, and delivers a drumset, a joint, a bottle of Listerine and a look of betrayal when Chris hands his goods to the cops.

The guys break down sketchy backyard encounters, pre-CMA Fest prep, a solid veteran bird to close out turkey season, and the beauty of dead-straight food plot lines. Plus: Manitoba fishing trips, the resurrection of the Banjo lure, and the launch of the Keefer Brothers Content Hub—built from every scar, busted knuckle, and lesson worth passing on.
