| EP 594: Salty Guide Sh*t with NMO | 14 Nov 2025 | 01:07:06 | |
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." @nmo --------------------------- DEALS & PARTNERS: For over 100 years Leica has set the standard for premium optics.

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.

| EP495: Hard Yards Podcast – Myth Busting: The Tall Tale of Anterior Pelvic Tilt | 02 Aug 2023 | 00:13:07 | |
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. @drmattwarddc @hardyardsperformance ------------------------- Check out Wardo's new VIDEO TUTORIALS and support his show.

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.

| EP 583: A Mountain Hunter's Dream Rifle with Alpine Riflecraft | 22 Aug 2025 | 01:06:49 | |
Mike Drury was originally on the show roughly 18 months ago, shortly after he founded Alpine Riflecraft and began building the kind of rifles he wanted to take into the mountains but couldn't find in any of the production models currently available. Starting at just 4.5 pounds, these rifles are truly a mountain hunter's dream. They combine excellent balance and ergonomics in a package that seamlessly blends both modern and traditional features. If Jack O'Connor were to take a rifle into the mountains in 2025, he'd probably be carrying a Zenith. Since his original appearance on BTK, he's expanded the available calibers, navigated cross border sales and shipping, and has numerous field reports from successful customers. There is no question that if you're a serious mountain hunter, these rifles should be on your radar.

| EP482: Spike Camp with Chuck Peeling | 16 Jun 2023 | 01:29:46 | |
On this episode, Adam hosts Chuck Peeling, co-founder of the new Spike Camp platform, and an avid BC hunter and conservationist. It used to be that most hunters grew up in a hunting family, where mentorship from your parents or relatives was the primary path to becoming a successful hunter. Nowadays, this is far less common than it once was. Many hunters find their passion for hunting later in life, and struggle to find mentors that will help them learn, grow, and succeed in their hunting pursuits. Enter Spike Camp. But, Spike Camp isn't just for those looking to learn, although frankly, no matter how experienced we become, we can always learn more. This is also a platform for experienced hunters to give back, and make a difference in the future of hunting. @spikecampco --------------------------- DEALS & OFFERS: Get 10% off everything in the ARGALI Outdoors shop by using code BTK at checkout.

| EP 582: The Balancing Act of Technology with Dylan Dowson of onX Hunt | 15 Aug 2025 | 01:01:52 | |
Dylan is a lifelong hunter and has been with onX for 10 years. He has seen the evolution of mapping and hunting software evolve from cards that had to be plugged into a handheld GPS device to the full featured apps we all know and use on our smart phones today. To say things have changed would be an understatement. On this episode, Dylan covers some of the new features within the onX platform and, just as importantly, how he and the team at onX approach the introduction of new features and technologies and how that's balanced against maintaining the soul and purity of the hunt itself. NOTABLE QUOTES: "There's probably some trackable public data somewhere of an elk herd migration that we could put into onX, but we're not going to. That's an example of just because you can do it doesn't mean you should, and we have actively had that conversation year in and year out." @onxhunt --------------------------- DEALS & OFFERS: For over 100 years Leica has been the optics choice for the most discerning mountain hunters.
