On this episode, we get a backcountry hunting industry history lesson from Aron Snyder, President of Kifaru International.   As most of you know, Aron’s been involved in the mountain and backcountry hunting community for quite some time and remembers the days when gear was a far cry from what it is today. He’s seen and been a part of many of the big changes our community has experienced over the past 10-15 years and, in this episode, provides his insights on the history of our niche within the general hunting industry.  In the latter half of the episode, Aron also spends some time outlining the new ARK Frame and provides his input on pack selection across a variety of brands.   @aron_snyder  @kifaru_intl  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!
