Beyond the Kill – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On this episode, the enigmatic Nolan Osborne is back. Fresh off his guiding season in Northern BC, we get some stories but, more than anything else, a salty guide rant about what makes a truly versatile hunting rifle and why he thinks the community may be losing the plot when it comes to choosing what to take afield. 

NOTABLE QUOTES: 

"Whatever happened to being comfortable shooting a rifle that didn't have a 17-ounce trigger, that didn't weigh f&#king ten pounds, didn't have a muzzle brake on it, and actually having some fundamentals with something that's not basically a cheat code."

On this episode, Dagan Van Oosten, one of the co-founders of Nomadic Research shares the story behind the brand and their incredibly well-priced and well-built products. 

There is no shortage of options in today's outdoor gear market. But, how do you really know whether you're buying something that will live up to the marketing hype and promises? Are you really getting what you paid for or being duped by buzzwords and slick content?  

If you've never heard of Nomadic Research, it's a brand that's worth a hard look, especially if your lifestyle spans a variety of outdoor pursuits and adventures. Dagan and his co-founder are proof that when you put the end-user first, good things happen. 

NOTABLE QUOTES: 

"What Matt and I are trying to do is build a brand but moreover trust, and gain trust in our followers, in our customers and build that community through that trust."

"If we have conversation and that resonates with even just one other person, but they actually take that step forward and take action, I think that is where we start moving the needle."

Wardo continues his myth busting by covering a very commonly diagnosed problem for people with chronic low-back pain: anterior pelvic tilt.

Although it's true that anterior pelvic tilt can be a total pain in the ass, it likely isn't the root cause of your pain. If you have been told that this is the cause of your back pain you have been lied to.

Similar to the last episode, control of the muscles that support and change the position of your back is the most important factor. Listen up to get some tips and insights that will actually help you manage this issue.

Welcome to Episode 4 of our six-part limited series called Mountain Made with CANIS.

In this episode, Marcel provides his thoughts and insights on how to select and create the highest performing sleep system for wherever and whenever you hunt.

The reality is, we can get a lot of things wrong with our gear, but our sleep system isn't one of them. The longer you're out there, the more important sleep, rest, and recovery become. You can be fit and/or tough AF but, at some point poor sleep will catch up with you.

If you've been considering making some changes to this critical part of your backcountry system, you're going to want to check out this episode.

Marcel Geser is the co-founder of CANIS, and a Swiss design guru with a vast amount of experience in the mountain and technical apparel space. He has won over 25 coveted ISPO awards. These awards are only given to the most innovative garments developed in the sports and outdoor space.

Marcel is an authority on high-level gear and apparel that performs in the mountains and this series is designed to help you learn how to make the best gear choices for your upcoming hunting expeditions.

If you missed it when we first released it, you'll want to check this episode out if you're heading into the sheep mountains this season. If you listened to it, there are some good tips worth hearing again.

Wardo loves busting a good myth and providing the most accurate info and the latest research on why the myth needs busting.

If someone has ever said your hips aren't level and that's the cause of your back pain they are full of shit. Well, in reality, they are partially full of shit. Control over the muscles that control your hips is the most important factor. Have a listen to get some helpful tips for your hips.

With sheep season around the corner, we wanted to repost this episode with John Barklow from early 2022, as it's full of great information, advice, and hard lessons learned.

If you have a backcountry hunt planned this August or September, or even later into the fall, the insights John brings to bear in this episode are invaluable. Even if you listened to this when we first released it, it's worth another listen to make sure you're keeping your edge.

With over thirty years of hunting, climbing, and skiing experience, twenty years as a professional instructor, and fifteen years in equipment development for backcountry use – when Barklow gets on the mic, it is always worth the time.

Wardo tackles a very useful and important topic in this episode...tapering your training going into hunting season.

You can't make up for not prioritizing fitness all year by going hard the week before your hunt but you sure can ruin your trip if you're not thinking about tapering properly. Listen up for Wardo's thoughts on this key topic.
