Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Gear

We are glad to have Ryan Lampers join us again on the podcast. This conversation with Ryan covers quite a few topics, including why most new elk hunters struggle to find success, how to effectively stalk high country mule deer, and what gear truly helps him hunt more effectively, and so much more.

Can you ditch your tent and use a hammock as your primary shelter in the backcountry? Will it be safe or will you become a "bear burrito"? Will it be warm or will you freeze to death? Will you stay dry or will you be fully exposed to the elements? Will a hammock setup save weight and space in your pack?

In this episode, we speak with the "Modern Day Mountain Man", Billy Molls. Billy has spent 20+ seasons guiding in Alaska for a variety of species. We speak with Billy about Caribou hunting in Alaska, and why it is the ideal first hunt for those new to Alaska.

As much as we love new gear, our budgets are limited. If you are a hunter that is looking to get into backcountry, backpack-style hunting, we wanted to discuss how we would shop for backpacking gear and make budget-minded decisions.
