I sat down with Kate Small and Dennis Stokes to introduce Initial Ascent's new Invictus pack frame. Designed for women and smaller frame hunters while offering the same features and options as IA's flagship Integrous frame but accommodating torso lengths 13"-17". We also jump into a little med kit talk and utilizing the off season to prepare for the "when it happens" medical emergency scenarios out in the field.

Enjoy the episode.

I had the honor to sit down with Brandon Shook. I "met" Brandon via Instagram at the early on set of Covid when he was doing lives, hoping to just help folks weave through the uncertainty of what we were just starting to experience and use the gospel in a way that only Shook can, highly inspirational and impactful on me now and at the time. We get into his motivations, his walk with God and his hopes to share the word with whomever, wherever and the reasons why. We might have talked a bit of hunting as well. Enjoy the episode.
