Beyond the Kill

If you've been paying attention these past few weeks, you'll have heard about WINTERSTRONG.  On this show, you'll hear Adam and a group of guys talk about their experiences at this inaugural and truly unique event.  @sorinex @bertsorin @t0tanka @devildoc25 @michael_baccellieri

On this episode, Adam is joined by James Nash, a retired Marine, outfitter, hunting and fly-fishing guide, and fifth generation rancher. Adam and James dig into a slew of topics including, his time in the Marine Corps, what it was like returning to the ranch after going to war, how women are often misrepresented in the hunting and fishing communities, predator hunting, and more than a few tangents...

This as close to breaking news as you're going to get in our world! On this show, Adam and Nolan catch-up within hours of Nolan's return from the North Coast mountains where he was, yet again, chasing long-haired billies. This was a very different trip than the hunt profiled in last year's Toeing the Line film and a good example of just how variable mountain goat hunting can be. To say Nolan's had...

***EXPLICIT LANGUAGE IS USED (SPARINGLY) IN THIS EPISODE*** On this show, Adam is joined by Steve Opat, a true International Man of Mystery, with the beard to prove it, and a hell of a great dude. Steve is a Field Editor with us at the Journal of Mountain Hunting, calls Alaska home, and spends a ton of time in the field. Overall, this guy is one of the most passionate hunters and writers you'll ev...

***EXPLICIT LANGUAGE USED FREQUENTLY IN THIS EPISODE*** On this episode, Adam is joined by Caylen Wojcik, a man that wears many hats. He is the founder and owner of Kalinski Consulting as well as a key member of the Gunwerks training and education cadre where he holds the title of Director of Training.

In this quick hit gear-focused episode, Adam reviews and shares his favorite training gear from 2018. If you like versatile gear, train outdoors or at home (or would like to start doing so), you'll want to listen to this one.

This our first crack at an "Ask Us Anything" style episode. It won't be our last. Thanks to everyone that submitted questions.

On this episode, Adam is joined by Marty Skovlund, Jr. from Black Rifle Coffee Co. where he is Executive Editor of Coffee or Die Magazine. Marty is one interesting cat. He's an Army veteran (75 th Ranger Regiment), with multiple deployments overseas, as well as an author, journalist, and now, editor. On this show, Marty and Adam cover the inner workings of the modern media machine, how to tell whe...

On this episode, Adam is joined by Dustin and Ara from MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab. Adam, Ara, and Dustin take a deep dive on the difference between loving the process of training versus focusing on the outcome, and how an "always ready" mindset will improve all aspects of your life. If you struggle to stay consistent with a training program or tend to follow a boom/bust cycle year after year, this is th...

We're back! Happy New Year everyone! This episode was recorded on location at Benchmade HQ just before the holidays, where Adam was joined by Matt Elliott and Troy Hellman from the marketing team. Topics discussed include the history of the company, how and why knives are designed and built the way they are at Benchmade, the differences between a $30 knife and a $100 plus knife, what their hunting...

On this episode, Adam is joined by Darren and Justin from Black Rifle Coffee Canada. That's right, BRCC has a Canadian subsidiary. The three Canucks talk coffee, meaningful causes, and of course guns. If you're a coffee drinker and a gun owner, you'll enjoy this one. @blackriflecoffee www.blackriflecoffee.ca www.blackriflecoffee.com

On this episode, Adam is joined by one of the most accomplished off-road endurance athletes to ever shoulder a backpack, Andrew Skurka.  Renowned for his solo backpacking feats, Andrew's list of accomplishments is extensive. He was named "Adventurer of the Year" by both National Geographic and Outside Magazine and has backpacked 30,000 plus miles (yes you read that right) while pursuing his passio...

On this episode, author Jack Carr is back to share his stories and insights from a recent trip to South Africa, where he was helping train an anti-poaching unit, and doing some research for another book in the James Reece series. Regardless of your interest in Africa from a hunting perspective, what happens there matters on a global scale. Jack's observations and perspective on African hunting, po...

As promised, after running out of time to get into some storytelling in Episode 121, we brought Nolan back to share some highlights from the 2018 guiding season. What you'll hear in this episode is the story of Nolan's favorite hunt of the year and arguably the hunt of his lifetime. We'd bet his clients feel the same way. With some gear and hunting tips mixed in for good measure, this episode has...

On this episode, Adam is joined by Rick Elder of Beyond Clothing. Yes, Rick runs Beyond out of their Seattle office, affectionately known as The Acropolis, but more than that, he is an incredibly interesting dude with a very interesting perspective on a variety of topics related to the outdoor and sporting goods industry. Regardless of the outdoor pursuit you most passionately live for, this discu...

On this episode, Adam is joined by one of the most unique guests we've ever had on the show, polar explorer John Huston. John was one half of a two-man team that made the first American unsupported, 100% human powered expedition to the North Pole in 2009. It took them 55 days, covering 478 miles on skis, all while pulling sleds loaded with hundreds of pounds of gear. Let that sink in…still think l...

On this episode, Adam is joined by his good friend, and colleague, Nolan who just returned from a season of guiding Stone's sheep, mountain caribou, Rocky Mountain goats, and moose. Adam and Nolan discuss what it's like to spend 90 days straight in the high country of Northern BC, the enjoyment and frustration of working with horses, and some of the lessons Nolan took away from his 2018 season. @n...

On this short but sweet episode, Adam rolls solo and discusses some new gear/equipment he put through its paces, an embarrassing "won't make that mistake again" lesson, and one of his tried and true backcountry menu items after a recent BC moose hunt.

On this show, Adam is joined by Dustin Diefenderfer of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab in Bozeman, Montana. It's the time of year when cold weather and tough conditions are the norm. But, it's also one of the best times of year to cut a tag. If you can hack it. This episode will help you thrive when many hunters would rather hang up their boots. Backcountry Calorie Calculator Article Are You Born with Mental...

On this show, Adam and Bryan Martin of Asian Mountain Outfitters, pick up where they left off in Part 1. If you've never experienced a double-header rodeo, this one's worth every minute and chock-full of shooting tips. We've been tight-lipped about what exactly happened on this hunt, but we disclose some solid details here in Part 2. Spoiler alert…ibex meat tastes great! @asianmountainoutfitters  ...

On this show, Adam is joined by Bryan Martin of Asian Mountain Outfitters. Adam and Bryan dig deep into the JOMH crew's experience in TJ and cover a ton of material in this conversation. In fact, they covered so many topics, we decided to chop it into two parts. If you've been waiting for more details on how the hunt unfolded, you're going to want to listen to these two episodes. @asianmountainout...

On this show Adam is joined by his good friend and past guest Bert Sorin, the president of Sorinex Exercise Equipment.

Adam and Bert cover a wide (and deep) array of topics in this one…Eastern vs Western hu...

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 Ecos...

***WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE IS USED IN THIS EPISODE*** On location in Dushanbe, the evening before they head home, Adam, Matt Comment and Connor Gabbott share some lessons, laughs, and thoughts on what it was like to chase ibex on the other side of the world. @taluscreative @mattcomment

On this show, Adam is joined by Brad Neathery, Tyler Sharp, and Charles Post, the men behind Modern Huntsman. 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...
