Awesome vid! Keep the information coming guys! Really helps. When you are done with the spring bear hunt would love to request a video breaking down the freeze dried meals you guys prepped for the carnivore diet and maybe a rundown of the freeze dried process! Thanks gents and good luck this year with all the hunts! Looking forward to all future content.
Pro tip when fleshing excess fat off the bear hide. Work from the tail to the head. All fur hides are directional. This will help you not put holes in the hide. Great podcast and tips stay Gritty
Much respect to you guys and all that you do. Thanks for continuing to provide the content! Edit: the gun purists may come at you for the use of the term "clips" at "59:00". The correct term would be magazines. Clips were used in the M1 Garand. That being said, again appreciate the content including nutrition, fitness, different packs, load outs, etc. Keep it coming!!
Good idea with the standing at a desk with a pack. I started last year stepping up and down a set of two stairs I put in my living room with a pack on while watching tv. Made quite a difference on my fall hunts. Also I do it barefoot to build foot and ankle strength.
Great content, as always! Question... I know you have both Caribou and Mule Alpakarafts. Besides weight difference, what are the pros/cons? I'm debating between the two for my solo backcountry hunt raft for spring bear this year.
If you are only using it to cross water ways then I would go with the caribou. If you are wanting to actually float down the river for miles the mule is better. The mule has a 500lb capacity and the caribou has a 400lb capacity.
Chock full with great information , thank you for sharing . Will you guys be making a video with a full food or gear breakdown for this years hunts ? When you get your bears , pack out a few of the big front claws so I can make y’all something cool 😎.
Sharpen knives, clean optics, check batteries, check scope screws, once over your hunting rig…it’s always stupid small things that cost valuable time when you’re trying to optimize. Stay Gritty
I packed a cow elk hind quarter and two front shoulders using a Metcalf.... the frame was feeling iffy. 6 miles later made it to the atv. There was Manny stops on the way. An ? Should I drop an come back . There's no rush. Take your time get er done.
Bringing just one rifle for three guys on a rough hunt like that is a real gamble! One bad fall and a broken scope and you’re all F’d. We go through this same dilemma on similar hunts here in AK, for sheep especially. Not everyone needs his own rifle but, it’s just too easy for one to become none! I’ll cut my food and fuel, even my handgun before I cut my rifle.
Great podcast I like the tips on backpacks and the weight carrying tips good luck on your bear hunting adventure can’t wait to see the episodes keep up the hard work
Two things can be true at the same time. I can hunt for the joy of hunting and being in the outdoors AND I can make a living from my skills as a hunter, cameraman, filmmaker, podcaster, and business man. My motivation isn’t to be popular or rich or famous-those are by-products of striving to make a meaningful difference people’s lives.

Love y’all’s content. From Arkansas.😊

Put out a video with the freeze drier
With custom foods.
Try and hit your 15-16 pounds
Let's see it
Thanks guys as always some great information.
The standing at your desk with a pack is genius! More time under tension. Thank you for the tip!
Wheelbarrow concrete usually works for me 😂😂

Awesome advice, Brian! Thanks much!

We will probably do a video of what we are eating in the backcountry now that it has all changed.

Thanx
Where are you guys driving so often?

For something that requires heavy pack outs, horses/llamas/goats make sense. Boning out one bear per guy doesn’t really warrant it.
i love being fat adapted when backpack hunting. your not hungry all day plus when you kill you just eat the animal
lol hunting for social media, likes, and money is hilarious. These are not hunters.
