When it comes to talkin' turkey, few can claim to do it at the level of our guest in EP. 25 of The BaseCamp Podcast. Shane Hendershot is a 2-time NWTF Grand National Calling Champion who burst onto the competition turkey calling scene by capturing the title in 2007. He did the same thing in the year of 2011, and his name now brings recognition across the turkey calling and hunting universe.
Shane joins the show to give us some ...
In what will undoubtedly go down as one of the best BaseCamp Podcast episodes to date, we are joined in EP. 24 by none other than Jimmy Wren. If you have spent time in the turkey or waterfowl hunting realm, there's a pretty good chance that you have at least heard Jimmy's name a time or two. He's known as one of the true "good guys" in the outdoor industry. Jimmy Wren has carved an outdoor life that has placed...
It's check-in time after a short hiatus for The BaseCamp Podcast! Episode 23 brings us back to the show with a refreshed outlook on where the podcast stands and where it is going.
In this quick listen, we go over some points of thought on the podcast itself, what it means moving forward, and then we finish with some hope and excitement for Spring 2025. LINKS 🔗 My Beacon: Links for ALL of our content and socials | https://beaco...
March is here, and that means a few things around here: shed antler hunting, making preps for spring turkey hunting season, and dreaming of those magical spring days in the outdoors. As bad as these couple of months are for the average American outdoorsman, we are turning the corner and getting hopeful about the days to come. This show begins with some check-in items, progresses to a more in-depth discussion on the reasons why shed...
After unveiling my own EDC Pocket Dump back on EP. 18, it was only right to bring Derek back into the fold for his version on EP. 21 of The BaseCamp Podcast. After all, Derek has been here for all of our previous EDC, safety, and Lifestyle episodes. He also happens to know a ton about the subject, so let's roll!
Derek brings us through some of his soft goods, organizational tools, material separators (knives), and a couple of w...
From that toxic Facebook hunting group that judges every inch of antler to your not-so-favorite outdoor influencer that catches hate online, our outdoor and hunting community experiences its fair share of toxicity. Thus, we ask the question: What is Wrong with the Outdoor "Industry"?
I am sure we all have some thoughts on that! The doldrums of the hunting off-season felt like the perfect time to bring up this controversial...
While the whitetail will likely always be America's go-to game animal, the wild turkey takes a backseat to none when the spring months roll around. That is especially true in the Southeastern United States, where turkey hunting culture is as strong as it has ever been.
Jacob Rampley of Eastern Turkey Obsession embodies the turkey hunting culture to a tee with a lineup of original products that speak to the heart of all true turk...
Nothing says EDC like a good pocket dump video, but why not parlay that into a full-blown podcast that covers all of the bases? That's exactly what you can expect in EP. 18 of The BaseCamp Podcast. We continue to build upon the earlier episode discussions of safety, preparedness, and everyday carry by diving into the more technical, or tactical, items in the toolkit. This is just a glimpse into some of the everyday essentials t...
With deer hunting season firmly in the rearview mirror for most of us, it is time to begin the long off-season ahead for 2025. What better time to discuss new horizons and opportunities? The start of those new, and hopefully better opportunities, begins with finding a new hunting spot for many people. While the age-old method of simply walking up to a random door and knocking for hunting permission is still a decent one, we bri...
Episode 16 of The BaseCamp Podcast brings another fresh face to the table by way of Jacob Whitley with Fathers and The Great Outdoors. Jacob has pioneered his brand around faith and fatherhood in the outdoors. He's got a podcast, website, social media, and even some documentary production in his back pocket. We introduce you to Jacob, unpack his interesting life story that took him from the hills of Hollywood to the mountains...
Sometimes, your best bet for self-defense and self-preservation is to blend into your environment to avoid trouble in the first place. Regardless, everything we do is either helping us to blend in or forcing us to stick out when it comes to personal security. In EP.15, we build upon the self-defense subject that we hatched back in EP.13. Derek takes the reigns to present the concept of EDC in a slightly different way. This concep...

AI and hunting are two things that the everyday outdoorsman of 5 to 10 years ago could not envision together.
In 2024, the future is NOW, and the two seemingly opposite worlds have collided.
In EP.9 of The BaseCamp Podcast, we are joined by an extremely interesting guest who is looking to pioneer AI technology inside of a hunting app. Joel Pouliot with Ruck-Up Media has created the all-new Dryads app to help hunters and outdoor-...
