MDS Episode #0119 - Solo Hunting Changed My Life w/ Luke Carrick


Listen Later

What happens when solitude meets the backcountry? In this episode, Caylen Wojcik sits down with longtime hunting mentor, guide, and adventure photographer Luke Carrick to talk about the medicine of the mountains, the lessons only hardship can teach, and how solo hunting became a path to healing, grit, and deeper purpose.

We dive into stories from decades in the wilderness—grueling solo trips, sheep hunts in British Columbia, and adventures that pushed limits physically and emotionally. Luke shares how hunting shaped his identity and offered a way through some of life’s hardest seasons.

This episode is for anyone craving real talk about hunting, suffering, and why going deeper into the wild often leads to a deeper connection with yourself.

Topics Include:

Solo hunting as a rite of passage

Lessons from failure, storms, and solitude

Transitioning from state job to self-made guide and photographer

How wild spaces create mental resilience

The backcountry as a mirror for life

Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or someone drawn to the mountains for reasons you can’t quite explain, this conversation will speak to you.
