This podcast was recorded on our Alaska caribou hunt, as we spent a day stuck in camp, waiting for a swollen river to recede to safe levels — allowing us to begin rafting to our pickup point, where we would get flown out of the field a couple of days later.

Steve, Mark, Justin, & Jeff discuss how they each killed a caribou bull in the days before this conversation. They detail how each encounter happened, what they did right, and what they did wrong.

Steve called them, "a multitool of the backcountry." They can prevent injury, allow you to hike further with less fatigue, support a shelter, and enable you to shoot a rifle with more stability from various positions.

If you are a backcountry hunter, you should own, carry, and use trekking poles. Period.

In this video, Steve & Mark discuss why backcountry hunters should use trekking poles, what to consider when purchasing trekking poles, the mistakes that people make when using trekking poles, and how you can use trekking poles for more than hiking.

When backpack hunting, a headlamp may be used for simple task lighting around camp, but it may also be a critical source of safety as you navigate difficult off-trail terrain with a heavy pack on a nighttime packout.

A backpack hunter's headlamp needs to balance weight, performance, and efficiency.

In this podcast episode, Steve & Mark discuss the unique demands of headlamps for backpack hunting, the headlamps we have used, and what headlamps we will be testing and reviewing moving forward...
