I talk with Josh from Alpine Accuracy around long range shooting and shooting deer from distance - specifically Sambar deer in Vic Alpine Park. Josh is a keen backpack hunter but also produces some lightweight products for the long range hunters. Contact him via Instagram if you're interested in knowing more or getting hold of some gear; @alpine_accuracy In the Friends of the Podcast segment, I meet Nick from Bigham Forge. Nick is a firefighter, power lifter and finds times to make custom knives. See some of his handiwork on Instagram @bigham_forge and reach out to him if you're after something special. I would also ask you to support the 2024 podcast partners; Skeleton Optics - @skeletonoptics_au ⁠⁠https://www.skeletonoptics.com.au/⁠⁠ On Track Meals - @on_track_meals ⁠⁠https://ontrackmeals.com/⁠⁠ Anyone with ideas for future episodes, or just a chat around backcountry/backpack hunting  - please feel free to reach out.  @australian_hunting_backcountry [email protected] Thanks for listening - look after yourselves and your mates.
