On this show, Adam is joined by Aaron Davidson. Aaron is the President and CEO of Gunwerks, so naturally, this episode will focus on long-range shooting and hunting.

Gunwerks is without a doubt one of the most innovative companies that plays in the long-range hunting and precision shooting space and a good portion of this podcast is spent discussing the latest news and updates from Gunwerks.

Adam and Aaron discuss their newest shooting systems, the changes to their educational platform and some new products catered to those that prefer a DIY approach to building and testing their own long-range equipment and components.

They also dive into the never-ending debate between those that believe long-range hunting is an ethical practice and those that do not. If you are a bowhunter that looks down on those that choose to hunt with long-range capable equipment, the latter half of this interview will be especially interesting.

With sheep season around the corner, we wanted to repost this episode with John Barklow from early 2022, as it’s full of great information, advice, and hard lessons learned.

If you have a backcountry hunt planned this August or September, or even later into the fall, the insights John brings to bear in this episode are invaluable. Even if you listened to this when we first released it, it’s worth another listen to make sure you’re keeping your edge.

With over thirty years of hunting, climbing, and skiing experience, twenty years as a professional instructor, and fifteen years in equipment development for backcountry use – when Barklow gets on the mic, it is always worth the time.

Through their publication and platform, they have taken it upon themselves to focus on both the non-hunting public and the dyed in the wool hunting community. This is no small task.

And by all accounts, they are doing a damned good job of bridging the gaps that are necessary for hunting to remain relevant in these emotionally charged times.

Adam, Brad, Tyler, and Charles dive into a host of subjects related to the establishment of their brand, the challenges our community must overcome, and how they plan to help the non-hunting public better understand who we are, what we do, and why that matters.

He is also an active member of a whole host of conservation and environmental organizations, including the BHA, RMEF, Pheasants Forever, TRCP, Trout Unlimited, QDMA, and the Sierra Club.

Adam and Bill dive into a broad and lengthy discussion that surrounds the state of marketing, advertising and social media in the hunting industry. How are we representing our community on both an individual and brand level? How do the images and messages we put forth, both literal and figurative, impact our future?

This is obviously a subject we’ve covered before, but Bill has spent his entire career immersed in the marketing and advertising business, so he brings a unique and experienced perspective to bear on this topic. If hunting is to remain relevant in the modern media landscape, this is a topic we cannot ignore. Enjoy!

On this show, Adam sits down with past guest Chris Barker, and newcomer Kyle Stelter at the 25th Annual Kamloops Convention of the Wild Sheep Society of BC.

Both Chris and Kyle are actively involved with the WSSBC and wild sheep conservation in general, and Adam travelled up to Kamloops a couple weeks back to sit down with these two ardent conservationists to discuss the past, present and future of the WSSBC and why regardless of what province or state you call home, the wild sheep of BC need and deserve our support.

At the time of this interview (two weeks ago), the news out of Alaska that a deadly respiratory pathogen implicated in large scale die-offs of bighorns in the lower 48 states and BC and Alberta, had not yet been announced. In a sad twist of fate, Adam, Chris and Kyle discussed this very threat and how important it was for the hunting and conservation community to take this risk very seriously.

There is now no doubt that Canadian and Alaskan thinhorns need every ounce of support we can provide. Regardless of whether you’re a die-hard sheep nut, or simply hope to one day find yourself in sheep country this is a must-listen episode covering some critical topics related to the long-term sustainability of wild sheep in BC and across North America.

On this episode, we will be talking about crucibles. Tests of one’s physical and mental capacities that are severe and transformational. The kind of tests that, upon completion, have changed who we are, how we think and re-define what we’re capable of.

Adam is joined by a group of people before and after their attempt to complete the 47-mile Rim to Rim to Rim trail around the Grand Canyon. An event that without a doubt qualifies as a crucible. For a couple of the first timers, this event represents the most severe physical undertaking of their lives and teaches them more than a few lessons they won’t soon forget!

Whether you need motivation, inspiration or just like hearing about a good old fashioned suffer-fest this one’s not to miss!

On this episode, Adam is joined by Kevin Guillen and Courtney Denham from Wilderness Athlete to discuss the recent launch of their new Paleo(ish) line of products.

This is not merely a product discussion however. Adam and the Wilderness Athlete crew spend a good portion of the show trying to make sense of the often confusing and misleading BS that pervades the diet, nutrition and supplement business and do their best to take a moderate view of making sound nutritional decisions.

Whether you’re a nutritional geek or not, this episode will be sure to enlighten and entertain. And be sure to check out the Wilderness Athlete Journal, an invaluable source of nutrition, training and healthy lifestyle content!

If you want to build the strength, durability, grit, and endurance to handle multi-day expeditionary hunts, this program will get you ready for whatever the mountains and your hunts demand.

Affordable, effective, and purpose built for mountain hunters, if you want to be as physically and mentally ready as possible this season, this program is for you.

NOTE: IF YOU JOIN BEFORE MONDAY THE FIRST TRAINING SESSION WILL GO LIVE FEB. 27 AT 5AM PST.

When it comes to hunting shows, films or videos it takes a lot to impress us.

So, it’s with zero exaggeration that we say THE YUKON WILD is one of the most awe inspiring and impressive productions we’ve seen in a long, long time.

On this episode, Adam is joined by the host of this upcoming series, Greg McHale. Greg is one interesting dude with an incredibly diverse background: collegiate hockey player, RCMP officer, wrangler/packer, hunting guide, professional athlete, bush pilot and businessman.

Greg brings all this experience and more to bear in this awesome episode jam packed with stories, tips, strategies and a fair number of laughs. His personality and philosophies on training, hunting and life in general made this one of the most fun episodes we’ve recorded to date.

Greg’s the kind of guy you’d love to grab a beer with or sit around the fire with while sipping whiskey and telling lies. Uh, we mean stories ;)

Greg and his team at THE YUKON WILD have produced something truly special with this new series so check out their trailer and show them some support on social media. The hunting industry needs more content like this!

On this episode, Adam (Janke) is joined by the Fossman himself, Adam Foss. Adam (Foss) was one of the earliest guests we ever featured on the show and a lot has changed since then. He has embarked on a new career path and the hunting media landscape has never been more dynamic.

The two Adams spend most of this episode discussing how the “story” of conservation has been told over the past few decades and how we can and should use creativity to tell that story in a more resonant fashion moving forward.

Adam (Foss) is doing a lot of exciting work in the conservation space, is very passionate about conservation and the role hunting plays in achieving conservation goals, and given this shared passion, the Adams have a very interesting discussion about how storytelling plays a critical role in keeping both hunting and conservation relevant in today’s media landscape.

This episode brings Adam Foss on to the show. From his early days hunting bighorns in Alberta, to his many trips to the High North and his career at Seacat Creative, Adam has charted a path less traveled for the bulk of his young life.

As the youngest hunter to achieve his archery FNAWS, Adam's sheep and mountain hunting resume is hard to argue with. But this episode isn't about killing sheep.

The two Adams spend the bulk of the podcast digging in on the priceless nature of time spent in the backcountry with family and friends and the future of hunting media. From films to photography and podcasting there;s a message behind everything we put out there as an industry.

Adam's insights from behind the lens and from within the media business are not to be missed.

Regardless of whether you have any interest in Himalayan tahr hunting, this issue is about far more than tahr or even NZ politics.

The lines have been drawn and our will to fight is being put to the test.

Politically and emotionally driven wildlife management has become the norm and not the exception. In recent months, we have seen examples of this in British Columbia, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, New Jersey and now New Zealand, to name just a few.

This is a global issue that requires our full attention.

On this episode Adam welcomes Bert Sorin on to the show.

Bert is the co-owner and president of Sorinex, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance strength training equipment. This includes racks, rigs, barbells, plates, and a host of other top of the line equipment that can be found in some of the most elite gyms on the planet.

At face value, this episode is about training and training equipment but that’s just a small part of this discussion. Bert is without a doubt one of the more interesting dudes we’ve had on this show and he and Adam dig into a HOST of subjects you won’t want to miss.

From mindset, to overcoming obstacles, breathing the “thin air” found at the fringes of our own abilities and even what it means to be a man in modern society, this is one wide-ranging conversation that could have gone on for hours!

As an accomplished athlete, avid hunter, business owner and most importantly father of three, Bert brings an incredible perspective to bear on life and living life to the fullest.

This was one for the books and there is no question we’ll have to bring Bert back on to dig in even deeper on some of the subjects covered in this episode.

It’s a long one but, as usual, for good reason!

On Episode 27 Adam is joined by Gray Thornton, President & CEO of the Wild Sheep Foundation.

Gray is without question one of the true leaders in the hunter-conservation movement and through his leadership WSF shows just how effective and powerful a modern conservation organization can be when it leads from the front.

In this podcast Adam and Gray dive into both the historical and modern successes of the WSF and some of the most important current issues mountain hunters need to be up to speed on when it comes to conservation in general and of course wild sheep conservation specifically. They tackle some controversial issues like allocation, non-resident funding and the bridge between hunters and non-hunters.

Gray is one of those guys that speaks from the heart on all matters and this episode is one of our more thought provoking shows to date!

In Part 3 of his neck strengthening series, Wardo elaborates on some tips he’s used to help his patients ensure they’re covering all their bases with their neck strengthening program or rehab.

When it comes to the neck (like most body parts) you can’t just focus on the neck, you need to look at other areas to determine whether they’re impacting your pain and/or ability to make progress. This episode focuses on the shoulders and how the neck can be impacted by shoulder dysfunction.

Wardo continues his myth busting by covering a very commonly diagnosed problem for people with chronic low-back pain: anterior pelvic tilt.

Although it’s true that anterior pelvic tilt can be a total pain in the ass, it likely isn’t the root cause of your pain. If you have been told that this is the cause of your back pain you have been lied to.

Similar to the last episode, control of the muscles that support and change the position of your back is the most important factor. Listen up to get some tips and insights that will actually help you manage this issue.

On this episode, Adam welcomes Byron and Darryl Pace on to the show. The Pace Bros. are the co-founders of Pace Productions UK and the hosts of Into the Wilderness, a phenomenal show they produce that chronicles hunting the rugged mountains and highlands of Scotland.

Byron, Darryl and Adam discuss the brothers’ unique backgrounds and how they made the jump into the hunting media and film business and then dig in on the UK perspective on hunting, conservation and the future of hunting media.

From growing up in Africa to Scottish deer stalking, scotch tasting and the unique aspects to hunting in the UK these guys bring a truly fresh perspective to the show and were a distinct pleasure to interview. Enjoy!

Ah, the age old question of whether you have a mobility or stability problem. In simple terms, this questions means, should you stretch or strengthen?

Well the answer is usually both, but Wardo goes over two tests for your shoulders and some breakouts to give you a better idea of whether you should stretch that pain away or feed it some iron and tell it to shut up.

Whether it's the sheep mountains in August or the elk woods in early/mid September, it can be damned hot and it’s not hard to sweat your way to cramped muscles and a miserable time when you’re carrying a pack and hiking through the backcountry. This ain’t good for your hunting chances.

Wardo goes over how to figure out your hourly sweat rate and how to hydrate appropriately. Hint, plain old water isn’t always the best answer.

On Episode #39 Adam welcomes Matt Comment back to the show.

Matt was originally on the podcast a few months back and in that episode briefly touched on some of the nutritional changes he’d made in the lead up to his NWT Dall sheep hunt last summer. These changes helped him show up ready for anything the NWT might throw at him and he came home with a Dall ram that dreams are made of.

After that episode aired we received a ton of requests to bring Matt back on to dive into the details of what, why and how he made the changes to both his training and backcountry diet. So by popular demand, Matt is going to take us through how and why he made the changes he did and what exactly he packed, food wise, on that hunt.

Matt also covers how he manages to make dream hunts for species like Stone sheep, Dall sheep, elk and mule deer happen, on a regular basis, despite not being a rich man by most measures.

This episode is packed with tips, tricks and real world lessons that you can employ right away no matter what you have planned this fall!

On this episode, Adam will be joined by Robbie Kroger for his second appearance on the show.

Robbie is a man of many talents, and many of you may (and hopefully do) know him as the man behind Blood Origins, a unique, film-based storytelling concept. You can find Robbie’s BTK debut on Episode 66 where he discusses the vision for Blood Origins in depth.

But on this show, Adam and Robbie talk about Robbie's first real mountain hunt. A public land hunt for aoudad in the mountains of New Mexico that occurred just a few weeks ago.

This adventure was one hell of a learning experience for Robbie, as it was not only his first mountain hunt but also his first sheep hunt. So, on this episode Robbie shares the hard lessons learned and the full story of this hunt. You will not believe the finish to this sheep hunting tale!
