Josh Kirchner didn’t grow up bowhunting bears or butchering mountain lions. He taught himself. From solo bear scouting trips with zero experience to writing Becoming a Backpack Hunter and building a life around the backcountry, Josh’s journey is proof that it’s never too late to dive into something wild. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to get started as a hunter in adulthood—how to find your first opportunity, what gear actually matters, why so many people quit early, and how hunting reshapes your connection to food, nature, and yourself. Whether you’re a seasoned outdoorsman or just someone who’s been saying “someday,” this episode will get you off the couch and onto the trail.
