Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Backpacking

Jay Nichol of Mindful Hunter returns to the podcast to discuss his 2023 hunting season and the lessons he has learned about confidence, consistency, and gear choices. We also discuss his expanded hunting gear review platform (Mindful Reviews), his new apparel company (Forged In The Backcountry), and a whole lot more.

After drawing a once-in-a-lifetime Bighorn Sheep tag in Idaho, and having an amazing experience on the hunt, Jason joins us on the podcast to tell the whole story, the lessons learned, and what this experience meant to him. Tune in to hear about an amazing experience in the Frank Church Wilderness...

This is a bonus episode, originally recorded with our friend, Kyle Kamp, for his show, the Valley to Peak Nutrition Podcast. Kyle interviewed Mark and Steve about the lessons they have learned doing Death Hikes over the years. You will hear all about the mistakes we have made and the lessons we have learned.

At the end of each year, we like to look back and highlight specific gear that made a difference on our hunts that year. In this episode, Steve & Mark share their favorite gear from 2023, discuss some of the previous years' gear that they are still using, and share your (listeners') gear of the year suggestions.
