I shared some time with photographer Kristy Williams. Kristy's known in the hunting community for her amazing captures of wildlife, in my head its the elk, the detail and the almost personal perspective. We get into photography, set ups, her go to's, where she is hoping to venture with her camera and getting ready for her first season hunting. Enjoy the Episode.

I sat down with Rodger Holscher for some good laughs and admissions of gear junkie guilt. We get into gear obsession, running, testing, dumping and when it works it works. From rifles to bows, reloading and arrow builds, boots and packs he runs it with performance for his pursuit in mind and what I find to be an A+ quality is his unbiased and honest take on the subjectivity of gear.

When I talk about people that I respect or "fan boy" over its no BS, over the last year the time I have shared with the Retteraths on the podcast, over the phone or over a meal is time well spent. Sharing in their experiences afield with family, the values they bring to the table and the laughs is IMO second to none. Salt of the earth period! Enjoy the episode.
