Send us a textThere is only one overland company that was born on an elk hunt, and I sat down with the owner and inventor of the Lone Peak to hear the story while mine was being installed on my truck. Since then I’ve spent a few nights in it and used the other features on a daily basis and I have to say, I’m impressed. After another 40 nights sleeping in it, this thing will have paid for itself. Anyhow, enjoy the episode and dig in to see if this is a piece of gear that would benefit you.

The Gun Engineer, Tim Butler
Send us a textThis week I have a very special guest, my mentor and friend, Tim Butler. Tim served in the Marines in the gulf war and since then has worked as an engineer for many if not most of the major gun manufacturers in America. While he may argue this point, I believe he has influenced firearms more than any other individual in the past century, and more than likely, if you’re an American hunter, you own a firearm that Tim worked on. Make sure to check out the portion of this episode where he describes making the pistols carried by the guards of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier— more detail and nostalgia have been put into these sacred firearms than any other in active military service. Give me chills.

Broadhead Theory with Bryan Broderick
Send us a textThe broadhead is the most important part of any archery system. Every other piece of gear you wear, use or carry is simply a supporting effort for delivery your broadhead to the vitals of an animal. This week I drove to Casper, Wyoming to sit down with the intelligent and experienced Mr Bryan Broderick to talk about arrow systems and broadheads. He politely challenged some of my own long held beliefs from a position of knowledge and authority. In some aspects he convinced me to rethink these beliefs, in other ways I’m still unmoved. Regardless, this episode has value for anyone who intends to launch an arrow at an animal. Enjoy!
