Adventure One

Recorded spontaneously, while cooking up a mountain house meal on a campout, I discuss some new gear and the shared values of the two sides of the outdoor recreation community, uniting hunters and fishermen with hikers, climbers, and other enthusiasts.

In this impromptu episode I answer questions send to me by friends and listeners, covering everything from hiking gear, to concealed carry, to disaster preparedness

In this episode, I divert slightly from the normal topics of hunting, camping, hiking, and fishing, and talk about building a small home garden or "Victory garden". This is a fun project that can give you a new simple hobby (especially if you are stir-crazy at home right now), while bringing you healthy food. This can also lessen your demand on the supply chain and your susceptibility to the panic...

With the world freaking out about the COVID19 pandemic, I want to step back and look at basic emergency preparedness, and what we can do to keep a cool head and be prepared, in the face of a society motivated by fear.

It is almost turkey season! It is time to get your shotgun ready. Whether you are in the market for a new gun, just want the basics that will get your through the season, or want to turn an old gun into a dedicated turkey hunting rig, here are some tips that can turn a regular shotgun into a turkey killin' machine. If you want to watch a similar video on this subject, here is a rundown of my setup...

In this episode, I urge people to be more aware of (and more personally involved in) where the meat they consume actually comes from. If it is purchased in a store, it didn't come from the store - be aware of what it is, how it was cared for, and how it got there. I purchase fruit and vegetables and ingredients from the store, but I try to source as much of my meat personally as I can. To me, this...

Another episode for rifle dorks. In this podcast episode I discuss the details of my long range precision rifle setup. With the goal of hitting small targets at significant distance, I wanted an extremely accurate rifle that is fun to shoot and doesn't break the bank. My goal wasn't to build a "budget" gun, but I wanted to keep the cost reasonable, and still get awesome results. I discuss everythi...

In this episode I am joined by Kyle and Mario who tell the story of their successful south Texas Axis Deer hunt. Axis are beautiful, jumpy, and delicious. They are an exotic so they have not season or limits. They are often found on high fence ranches, but are not free ranging in much of south-central Texas.

From bald eagles to bison, Jonathan tells the story of his adventure traveling through Yellowstone on snowmobiles with a group of friends. Want more than audio? This podcast is also available in video form: https://youtu.be/hL3_ZEb191k

Hey adventurers! it has been way too long since my last episode. A lot has happened, including a trip to south west Texas with Daniel where he was able to tag a great doe and I was able to shoot my buck. Unfortunately not all went as planned with my buck. This is the story of what went wrong and what I was able to recover from it.

Pliny Kyle, and Daniel have some laughs while Kyle tells his hunting story where he doubled up on whitetail on a morning hunt from the ground in central Texas during general season. This is at least the third time Kyle has shot a double since he has been hunting whitetail deer.

Nate returns to Adventure Talk Live (the video version of the adventure talk podcast) to tell fishing stories from the mountains of Colorado and and the gulf coast of Florida.

The conclusion of the three-part November Deer Camp Series with Daniel and Kyle. We recap the events of the last hunt, including a failed recovery and a successful harvest.

We recap day two of our hunting camp (In the late morning of day 3). Unfortunately Daniel didn't see anything all day. Pliny has a doe kill that didn't go as planned, and Kyle shoots at a big buck!

Kyle, Daniel, and Pliny arrive into deer camp and give discuss their opening thoughts and strategies for this weekend... and of course tell some silly stories along the way. With a couple deer tags each on the opener of gun season, it is sure to be a fun weekend!

In this episode, I prepare for gun season and describe my deer rifle, including the features and the though processes and research behind selecting those features. I focus on how I set it up, the ammo, optic, and sling that I use, and why this is a great combination for my style of hunting. I have been bow hunting for the last few weeks, but it is now time to turn my attention to my trusted boom s...

Kyle joins Adventure One to talk all about hunting, including writing our annual hunting goals for the 2019 and 2020 season. By starting late we end up writing a few items that have already been accomplished, but we definitely have our work cut out for us! We also discuss how hunting has changed for us in Michigan.

Kyle returns for an episode of Adventure Talk Live. We're all over the place on this one, but have fun discussing the ups and downs of archery season, some ridiculous hunting products on the market, and honing our game cleaning skills in the off season.

I got back from Idaho and went to test my bow before the Texas archery opener. When I went to test my bow, my peep fell out. This quick story is about turning a last minute equipment failure into confidence when heading into the field.

In this episode, I describe the my hunting arrows for the 2019 - 2020 season. I explain the components I used, and why I chose them, from the broadheads all the way to the vanes. This is a bit more technical than some of my other "chat" or "storytelling" episodes, but hopefully the content is helpful to those getting into bowhunting.

In this episode, I tell the story about my recent trip down to my south Texas deer lease. I put in a solid day's work filling feeders, fixing fences, messing with trail cameras, and setting up a new bowhunting stand. If you have scouting to do before deer season, or you still have some summer property prep work, hopefully this inspires you to get out an get it done, while giving you a few ideas fo...

After returning from a recent hiking trip in Idaho's beautiful Sawtooth Wilderness, the crew (Pliny, Jonathan, Melody, Natalie, Alex, and Philip) reflect on a potentially life-threatening (possibly HACE, High-altitude cerebral edema) emergency in the mountains.

Happy Independence Day to my fellow American outdoorsmen! I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on the meaning of Independence Day. It is great to have a day away from work, but the root of independence day means much more. Think about your liberties and freedoms - how you are expressing them, or letting them fall away. Think on what it means to be independent and to be free. I wish you a wond...

Nate joins Adventure One for another episode of Adventure Talk Live, discussing boots, new gear, fishing in Florida, and traveling to Colorado. We tell some fun stories and have some good laughs. To watch this show in the origianl video format, please visit: https://youtu.be/S22RsvdhV54

I took a trip down to my south Texas deer lease. My goals were to build a box blind for rifle season and to build a feeder setup, designed to feed corn and protein through the summer - of course with cameras on it the whole time. In this episode, I discuss my plans and tactics, and tell the story of my recent trip.
