Hey guys,

We sat down and talked with Henry Shires of TarpTent to discuss shelter design and selection for backpack hunting. We not only cover some of the unique design elements of TarpTent shelters, but we also speak about shelter design and selection in general.

Hey Roksliders,

We've got a pretty cool podcast for you all! Six years ago, on Episode 004, Steve and Mark went line-by-line through their gear lists and discussed what they packed for backpack hunts. In this episode, they revisit their gear list and compare it to what they packed back then. They not only discuss the gear that's changed, but also how their mindset has changed in certain ways — listen to it here: https://exomtngear.com/blogs/podcast/292

We also created a FREE Backpack Hunting Gear List Template (Spreadsheet) — If you want a resource to help you plan easier and pack smarter, get our gear list template...

Let us know what you guys think!

We've got another great episode that was just released this morning for all of our listeners out there. In this episode, we are joined by our buddy, JD Ponciano. As a hunter, guide, and experienced professional in the optics industry, JD has a wealth of knowledge on optics. He has both intimate knowledge of glassing gear, as well as extensive first-hand knowledge of putting optics to use in the field. We speak with JD about everything from optics selection, to glassing strategies, to optics support and accessories.

Awesome a new podcast to listen to. I've run through all the old episodes of my regulars and am getting bored waiting on new ones. Thanks!

On our most recent episode, we're joined by a listener of the podcast that shares his journey of elk hunting. We discuss what he's learned along the way and what keeps him going through the difficulty. We cover practical tips, a helpful mindset, and advice for your next hunt.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hey Roksliders,

Hope you all had great weekend! This week, we are kicking off a new series called the "Expert Roundtable". This episode is the first of five episodes in our Expert Roundtable series.

When the hunt really becomes a hunt and you're in the final moments before a shot opportunity, what is your "Final Moment Mindset"? We answer this question with 5 expert hunters to understand how they effectively perform in the final, and most important, moments of a hunt.

https://exomtngear.com/blogs/podcast/295

Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode...

I've got two podcasts for you all today (due to forgetting to post yesterday's on here). Parts 2 and 3 of the Expert Roundtable series are live! Our guests that joined us for this podcast series are Jeff Bloomquist, Darin Cooper (rentoutdoorgear.com/), Billy Molls (billymollsadventures.com/), Charlie Perry, and our very own Steve Speck of Exo Mtn Gear.

Here are the questions asked in Part Two: What are some hunting tactics or strategies that you use, which may seem counterintuitive, go against conventional wisdom, or be undervalued in common hunting advice? Or, what are some animal patterns and behaviors that you observe which seem to go against common thought patterns that hunters have? What do you do, or how do you hunt, differently than hunters may expect?

https://exomtngear.com/blogs/podcast/296

Next, here are the questions asked in Part Three: What is the key to consistency in hunting? For hunters that continue to find success on more hunts than not, what do they attribute that success to? If they were to boil it all down, does their consistency come from their pre-season planning and scouting, their knowledge of animal behavior and hunting techniques, their hunting instincts, or something else?

https://exomtngear.com/blogs/podcast/297

As always, thanks for tuning-in!

Morning everyone! Just like Mark mentioned above, today is the first of five episodes for ELK WEEK.

Steve and Mark sit down with Kody and Trent from Born & Raised Outdoors to tackle the most important and most common elk hunting questions that we have received from you all. In the first episode, they talk about how to know if you're on the right track as an elk hunter. If you are a struggling elk hunter with limited, inconsistent, or non-existent success in the elk woods, this episode is for you.

Today we released the second episode with the Born and Raised Outdoors crew. In this second episode, we talk about how to hunt elk effectively with a partner or in a group. This conversation will give you tips for caller-and-shooter setups, how to communicate with your hunting partner in the presence of elk, when to split larger groups of hunters into separate groups, and much more.
