Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Exo

This conversation was originally recorded for The Lifetime Athlete Podcast, hosted by John Zombro. Mark and Steve joined John on his podcast to discuss hunting partnerships — how they are formed, how they are kept, and why they are so valuable for the backcountry hunter.

Mark is back from Alaska, having completed his backpack Dall Sheep hunt with his friend and guide, Mark Rowenhorst of Limitless Alaska Guiding. Mark joins Steve to tell the story of the hunt, which included a lot of challenges, setbacks, and eventual success.

Steve & Mark are joined by four participants of the 2023 Death Hike to share their stories, experiences, and lessons learned from an adventure that was unlike any other.

Steve & Mark discuss this year's Death Hike just hours before it begins. They cover the plan and route for this year, what training has looked like, what gear is (and isn't!) be used, and much more. We will be back next week with a post-hike recap.
