EP 51 – The Backcountry And The Digital Frontier with Jeff Agostinho @jeffagostinho Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff Agostinho. Jeff has made a name for himself in B.C. for being not only a legitimate backcountry hunter but also a stalwart conservationist. We got into Jeff’s background, some gear recommendations, and a deep dive on social media and the role it plays in our hunting culture. Jeff is an intelligent guy with some very interesting perspectives, if you don’t follow him already I highly recommend it.

EP 50 – Traeger Guru Garth Tolmie @garthsoutdoors Dec 02, 2021

Show notes

Cooking was a big reason why I started Mindful Hunter. I love cooking for my friends and family and there’s no better way to expose people to wild game than a phenomenally cooked creative dish. My friend Garth epitomizes this value and is an absolute master with the Traeger pellet grill. Even if you don’t consider yourself a serious cook, you’re going to get something from this episode. Go give Garth a follow, he’s always posting great ideas and recipes.

EP 48 – Solocast: Shelters 101 Tarps, Tipis, Tents, Stoves, Hammocks and Bivy’s Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

I’m back with another solocast this week. As always, I touch on diet, training, and some cool gear info but the big topic this week is shelters. I get into all the details about what types of factors affect which shelter you should use and give you some recommendations around which shelters I would start with and then how I approach adding to the collection.

EP 47 – Risk Mitigation and Winter Goat Hunting with John Barklow @jbarklow Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

This week I got to sit down with John Barklow. John is well known in the hunting industry for his vast knowledge of technical apparel, alpinism, and the time he spent in the Navy at the Special Warfare Center teaching Navy Seals how to survive in the cold. While the two main topics we dove into were risk mitigation and winter mountain goat hunting the conversation diverged across several interesting subjects. You might need to listen to this one twice to catch all the info. If you don’t already follow John on IG I highly recommend you start immediately as the quality of information he puts out for free on a regular basis is impressive. Also, John’s new website, Knowledge From Storms is a great place to find a wealth of backcountry guidance for free.

EP 46 – An Epic Northern BC Goat Hunt with @tannisrae Nov 04, 2021

Show notes

This week I got to sit down with Tannis and discuss her successful 2021 BC Goat hunt. We also discussed how she hiked in 50kms with her husband for her ram and how having brothers focused on hockey she was able to nudge her Dad to first get her into hunting. Tannis is a great example of a thoughtful, driven hunter and I had a great time talking with her.

EP 44 – Solocast: Late Season Alpine Mule Deer Gear List Deep-Dive Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

I’m heading out on Sunday morning with Spencer to chase Mule Deer for a week in the alpine. It’s a new area for both of us and the weather is looking terrible. The perfect recipe for a great hunt. In this episode, I go through my entire gear list and get into the rationale for most of my decisions. I’m going to be trying out the new Aerolite sleep system from Sitka on this hunt along with some other new gear so it should make for some good reviews when I get back.
