Steve & Mark answer listener questions on gear and also discuss why gear isn't everything.

Connect with us and let us know what you want to discuss on future TSS episodes by emailing podcast@exomtngear.com.

What does "TSS" stand for? The Supplemental Show? The Shutdown Show? The Stopgap Show? We're not sure, but we will be using the TSS episode name for future episodes are NOT our "normal" episodes that focus 100% on backcountry hunting.

TSS 20 — More Gear Questions & Why Gear Isn't Everything

We'll be talking tactics, sharing lessons learned, swapping stories, interviewing individuals from the hunting industry, hearing the hunt stories of everyday hunters (including our podcast listeners), and getting into the nitty-gritty of backpacking gear, hunting gear, and bow/rifle setups. Contact us at any time with your questions or feedback by emailing us: podcast@exomtngear.com

Thanks for listening!  — Mark & Steve

"I won the hunting lottery yesterday and saw I was a sole tag winner for a ram tag in a unit here in Colorado. I never thought it would happen!"

That is part of an email that we received from a podcast listener, Joe. Now, after the hunt, Joe joins us on the show to discuss how he prepared for this hunt. What he learned during the hunt. And how the ultimate success of harvesting his ram came to be.

This episode is both entertaining, and also informational for anyone who is planning a hunt that is for a new species, or in a new place.
