In this episode, Derek and Kevin sit down to talk all things hunt readiness — starting with the physical and mental grind it takes to be prepared for the backcountry. From weighted hikes and functional strength to dialing in endurance for those multi-day hunts, they break down their personal training routines and what’s worked (and what hasn’t) in the field.
They also dive into their 2025 arrow setups — comparing builds, discussing new arrows on the market. And with spring bear season heating up chat a little about this next season.
Whether you’re training for the hills or just tweaking your setup in the garage, this episode’s packed with insight, laughs, and real talk from two guys who live for the mountain grind.
