In this episode, I’m joined by Mark Huelsing from EXO Mountain Gear and he shares the story of his first ever trip to Alaska to chase caribou with some good buddies. It’s a terrific story of grinding out a hunt that didn’t go as planned, but finding incredible success anyway. After that, we talk about the backcountry in general and a few pack-specific details every hunter should consider. To follow up with Mark, head over to exomountaingear.com or follow them on Instagram @huntbackcountry. You can also email him directly at [email protected]. If you’re a newer hunter (or an experienced one just looking to make sure there aren’t any gaps in your hunting game), check out my book How to Hunt: A Total Beginner’s Guide to Hunting Big Game. To stay up on everything going on, follow us @latetothegameoutdoors or check out the website. I’m also finishing editing all the footage of this adventure, so subscribe to the YouTube channel so you don’t miss when the film drops.
