This podcast is about learning how to have better backcountry experiences and understanding why spending time outside matters in the first place.
I have conversations with people from diverse outdoor backgrounds to learn from them and hear their personal stories. I cover everything from backpacking, hiking, hunting, conservation, and outdoor skills to the broader role the outdoors can play in our health, perspective, and everyday lives.
Thanks for listening!

#54 - Pack Out An Entire Moose Alone with Jeff Lusk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I talk with Jeff Lusk about a solo moose hunt he went on this past hunting season. While it’s always fun to recap an interesting hunt, it’s even more fun learning about the struggles involved in any such adventure.
What Jeff learned on his hunt can directly apply to your adventures, even if you’re not into hunting. He was alone, battling the cold, having debates in his head about whether he should be there, and left to deal with the physical toll that packing out a moose by himself.
Please enjoy this episode with Jeff Lusk. I have no doubt you’ll get some good nuggets of wisdom from it!
