In this episode, we dive deep into the backcountry, from the comfort of basecamp hunts to the grind of true backpack-style missions. We swap personal hunting stories, break down gear essentials like backcountry chairs, and talk about how to balance comfort and pack weight when you're miles deep.
We also hit on one of the most underrated challenges: nutrition. What to bring, what to leave, and how to fuel your body without overloading your pack. Plus, we tackle the mental side of fear packing, bringing too much gear just in case, and how to cut weight the smart way.
Whether you're a seasoned mountain hunter or planning your first backcountry trip, there’s something in here for you.
Topics Covered:
Basecamp vs Backpack Hunting
Backcountry Nutrition Tips
Comfort vs Weight Trade-offs
Fear Packing & Where to Cut Weight
These are the conversations we wish we had before our first hunt deep in the hills. Learn from our lessons, laugh at the mistakes, and take away a few tips to make your next trip lighter, smarter, and a little more comfortable.
