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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
