The Rich Outdoors

This week I sit down with Brad Faulstich avid outdoorsman and entrepreneur. Born into a dairy farm Brad didn’t grow up in a hunting family but when he was introduce it lit a fire in him.

Being a hard worker life has opened a number of doors for him and lead him down a path of project to project. I lov...

From answering some of the more basic questions we get to some of the speculative ideas of what co...

Right after we recorded this I thought to myself; “We don’t do enough bear podcasts”. Bear hunting has been such a huge piece of hunting journey and honestly in retrospect I have more hunting memories with by buddies from hunting bears than probably any other hunts. It’s just fun! This week I am joined by Joe Kondelis who would rather hunt bears than even elk and deer. A mo...

Backcountry Fuel Holiday Sale This week I am joined by the newly appointed Chairman of Colorado Bowhunters Association Henry Ferguson. To be honest we the pool of candidates must have been pretty slim to elect a guy with an IG handle called @bigchiefwhackabuck but who am I to judge… Henry is a solid dude that has been on the podcast before and is a notorious big buck killer. In fact that&#82...

This week I catch up with the man himself Ryan Lampers. Ryan is one of the best hunters I know and this year was nothing short of a banner year for Lampers.

We chat about what he learned watching elk from pre rut through full...

Lucas and Alishia are probably the most hardcore hunting couple I have ever met. They both get after it and there is rarely a day off work that they aren’t both in the mountains. When they go pregnant last year my wife and I joked that the baby better hit the ground running or it was going to get left behind. I was curious how their lifestyle would change if at all with the introduction of t...

This was probably one of the top 3 hunts I’ve done. I absolutely love the challenge of going to a new place and trying to figure it out. The Haul Rd is the ultimate DIY figure it out hunt.

It has been really cool to watch Brendon and the team build Maven out of nothing over the years. From the first time I met Brendon and we chatted about his vision for a new optics company I was sold.
