Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive

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.

In this episode of the Backpack Hunt Breakdown series of the Hunt Backcountry Podcast, Ben Reynolds joins us to breakdown a solo sheep hunt that he completed in his home state of Alaska. Learn how Ben was able to find success and survive a solo backpack hunt that was truly an adventure and achievement of a lifetime.

Mark & Steve answer listener questions about how they take and use notes after their hunts, what suggestions they have for versatile tarps (glassing, cooking, meat sheet, etc), using the taller Nalgene Silo bottles in the K4 Nalgene Holder, and more.

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.
