Dropped Outdoors Podcast

1

Big changes are underway — Landon’s got a new house, new shop, and a brand-new podcast studio setup. We talk rolling wall backdrops, redesigning the space, and how the deer are already checking out the new property. From ground hunting vs. tree stands to finally getting fiber internet (after years of trash connection), this episode is all about upgrades — in life, hunting, and the podcast itself.

Landon finally tags his buck, and the crew breaks it all down — from broadhead debates to bow shop stories. After losing an hour and a half of recording to a corrupted file, things get a little unhinged as the guys power through take two. Plus, we talk about “Ordering the Dusty” at the local bow shop and how every hunt (and podcast) comes with its own kind of chaos.

Cole joins the podcast to share stories from his days as a high-fence game ranch guide and drops some serious hunting knowledge. We talk about a doe busting Landon at two yards on opening morning, the never-ending “merp or not” debate, and the differences between ground hunting and treestand setups. Cole also tells us about his favorite hunt — chasing a monster axis deer — and the kind of close ca...

Fresh off the bear hunt, the crew struggles to get back in rhythm — and it shows. We kick things off with “Feral Till February” (no shaving ‘til season ends), Dusty fixing his bathroom with a hard hat on, and a little fantasy football trash talk. From there, it’s heavy firepower with .50 cals before shifting into bowhunting and how deer react when an arrow flies. It’s a mix of hunting, life, and t...

Norman joins the podcast with some heavy firepower — including his .50 can and a lineup of other badass guns. We swap stories about cars, dream up future YouTube ideas, and dive into life, laughs, and the kind of conversations that only happen when family’s on the mic.

Out in the great outdoors, we kick off our bear hunt with Bradley, Garrett, and Joe in camp. It took a minute for everyone to warm up, so you’ll get 15 minutes of me and Dusty awkwardly filling the silence before the real storytelling begins. Once the crew gets rolling though, it’s all hunting tales, laughs, and the kind of campfire vibes you only get on a trip like this.

Q’s back in the hot seat, and this time it’s even rowdier. We cover wild drinking stories, hunting in the western mountains, ammo picks, and the eternal debate of what trailer setups actually make sense. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper round two without the best kind of shit talking sprinkled all the way through.

Q joins the show to talk rifles, competitions, and the secrets behind his “Parts Pimp” reputation. We cover ammo picks for bear hunts, killer squirrels, and some of the coolest .22LRs around. Plus, enclosed trailer builds, SWFA stories, and a peek into the long-range competition world.

We kick things off with steakhouses and mac & cheese before diving into Dusty’s plan to get his FFL for Cerakote work. We talk stencils, laser engraving, and how a bad FFL experience pushed me into gunsmithing. Dusty puts me on the spot about my passion for firearms, and we talk about why some folks get nervous hopping on the mic. Plus, off-road tube car builds and the sad state of my old truc...

This week we dive into one of our most chaotic episodes yet — a full-blown tactical “Would You Rather” session. From unlimited optics vs. suppressors, to mall ninjas, Fudds, and the dreaded “Daddy Blaster” fanny pack… nothing is safe. We also rant about TikTok trolls, call out Brad (again), and talk about why you really have to love this podcast grind to keep it going every week. If you’re into gu...

Landon’s back from vacation and not holding back. From ghosting Dusty all week to hiking national parks, spotting wildlife, and floating in a hot air balloon — it was anything but boring. We dive into AR build tips, why the SCAR is a love-hate relationship, and bust some suppressor myths. Oh, and if you’ve been in the comments… you might get mentioned. All in good fun.

In Episode 20, we’re hitting the road—literally. Talking road trip plans, getting recognized by random strangers (apparently people do watch), why consistency is king in sales, and how public land just dodged a bullet. Plus, we break down the 5 survival items we wouldn’t head into the wild without. Laughs, stories, and a little chaos include

No video? No problem. In this episode, we dive into Landon’s full overhaul at work, tease an epic collab, and talk antler growth in local deer. Bradley drops in, Dusty gets compared to Bigfoot (again), and we share how the podcast’s getting recognized locally. Plus, we break down what we’re packing for the upcoming bear hunt — from clothes to creature comforts.

In Episode 18, we dive deep into all things firearms! From our thoughts on nearly joining the military in our younger years, to the best rifles for hunting and the ideal pistol for everyday carry. Plus, we chat about animal conservation and tackle the ultimate question: if you could only have one gun forever, what would it be

Beneath the Surface: Men, Mindset, and Momentum In this episode, Landon and Dusty dive deep into the struggles men face but rarely talk about. From mental health and emotional suppression to fitness journeys and financial discipline, they explore what it really takes to push through life’s hardest reps—mentally and physically. Landon shares how finishing 75 Hard reshaped his mindset, how an InBody...

In this episode, we dive into the mindset of embracing the suck—leaning into discomfort and using hard things like workouts and daily challenges to build not just strength, but mental toughness. We talk about staying consistent through soreness, Dusty’s hilarious updates about his glutes, and training with weighted vests, steel plates, and mags. We also get into some gear talk, including Arrowhead...

75 Hard is officially in the rearview, and Landon dives into the mental grind, the highs, lows, and the shift from struggle to discipline. Then it’s back to Bauer Precision for Shoot #2—putting iRay, SOLGW, and HuxWerx to the test. We also talk about Juicy Media giving us a serious leg up on the YouTube front. From suffering to shooting, this one’s all about growth and grit.

Bradley’s back in the hot seat for Episode 14! We hit the range, watched him geek out over the legendary MP5 slap, and dove deep into the AR vs AK debate. Dusty and I break down the Hearing Protection Act and clear up some suppressor myths (spoiler: they’re not movie quiet). We also wander into some “what if” territory—martial law, end-of-the-world talk, and all the fun rabbit holes that come with...

In this action-packed episode, we break down plans for next year’s hunts, dive into the world of overland builds, and explore some outlandish conspiracy theories. We also share stories from our recent Maryland concert adventure and more. Tune in for a wild ride through outdoor excitement and mind-bending mysteries!

This week we cover it all—sports talk, music festivals, and hunting life. We dive into hunting property strategies, wildlife management tips, and Dusty puts me on the spot with a surprise hunting pop quiz. Tune in for laughs, knowledge, and a little friendly competition

We hit up a suppressor shoot hosted by Bauer Precision and SilencerCo, got behind some full autos, and met some solid folks in the industry—YouTubers, gear guys, and fellow gun nuts. We also dive into hog hunting stories and how this kind of event opens doors. Just a good day with good people and a lot of lead downrange.

EP#10 – The Wife Joins and it’s Open Season on LandonLandon’s wife, Ashley, jumps on the mic and joins the chaos. They kick things off talking about her career as a CRNA, then dive into wild hog hunt, upcoming video ideas, and Midland’s freak virga bomb and microbursts. Oh—and throughout the episode, Ashley and Dusty team up to absolutely roast Landon

We’re gettin’ geared up for our September bear hunt and talkin’ through plans, gear, and expectations. Things get wild as we recap a tornado that nearly got us, plus some hog huntin’, a little Tannerite fun, and a look at our idea for a hunting nonprofit. It’s a mix of chaos, camo, and good conversation

After a long week in the grind, we sit down to talk ethical hunting and what we’d recommend to anyone looking to take their first whitetail. Whether you’re new to the woods or just love the hunt, this episode covers gear, mindset, and what it really means to do it right. Plus, we talk about our new podcast project and where things are headed next.
