Welcome to Come Out Heavy: This ain’t your polished, studio-produced fairy tale. This is mountain hunting the way it really is — raw, unforgiving, and absolutely worth it. Hosted by cousins Devin and Curtis Gassoff, we bring you real stories from the steep, cold, and wild backcountry of British Columbia and beyond. No filters. No fluff. Just honest conversations with hardcore hunters who’ve packed it in, gutted it out, and come out heavy — or not at all. If you're into real hunting stories, backcountry grit, and conversations that go deeper than gear talk… you're in the right place!

EP. 090 - BENT BUT NOT BROKE (Moose Hunt Recap)

Season 5 · Episode 90

Monday, October 26, 2026 • Duration 03:03:30

NORTHERN BC MOOSE HUNT RECAP | COME OUT HEAVY PODCAST

After two months away from the microphones, we're back! Devin and Curt sit down to recap their 12-day Northern BC moose hunting adventure.

Armed with two custom-built trailers, quads, and a wall tent, we headed deep into unfamiliar country chasing northern bulls. But just 15 minutes down the trail, things started going sideways when our trailer suspension began bending. The decision? "Ride her till she breaks, boys!"

Four days of grinding through the bush, covering miles, fighting the wind, and hearing absolutely nothing had us questioning our strategy. A decision to spike out farther up the valley changed everything, leading to a hectic encounter and a 400-yard shot that put a bull moose on the ground.

But getting a moose down was only half the adventure. A snowstorm, winching quads from tree to tree, a close call with a highway truck, and 1,100 km of pouring rain made for a memorable trip home.

We also dive into the gear that earned its keep, including the Fierce Rage LR in .300 PRC, Aziak tripods, Atlas Edge mapping, Mike Jones Knives, our wall tent setup, and the lessons learned from putting our custom-built trailers through a serious backcountry test.

From hunting strategy and moose behavior to gear failures, camp life, and the things we'd do differently, we're breaking down the entire adventure.

As Curt put it: "The most uneventful, successful trip of my life."

Grab a cold one and come along for the ride!

EP. 089 - JUST THE GASSHOLES (PRE SEASON SHOW)

Season 5 · Episode 89

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 02:03:47

EPISODE 089 — JUST THE GASSHOLES

Elk season is days away, BC industry is taking another beating, and somehow Curt can handle the mountains but apparently can’t handle getting blood drawn.

Devin and Curt are back for another Just the Gassholes, kicking things off with Curt’s hospital visit and an unfortunate encounter with a needle that ends with him hitting the deck. From there, the conversation gets a little more serious as the boys dig into BC mill closures and what those shutdowns actually mean for workers, contractors, truckers, families, and small communities that depend on resource industries.

Then it’s time for what everyone has been waiting for: September.

The boys break down final elk-season prep, scouting and trail-cam intel, gear, rifles, and plans heading into the opener. Devin also gives his first impressions after finally getting behind the new Fierce Rage LR in .300 PRC—which naturally leads into another round of the internet telling them they apparently have “too much gun” for moose.

Things get heated when the conversation turns to the Nelson-area grizzly saga. After the sow and one yearling were killed and the two remaining bears were relocated, both resurfaced around Christina Lake—with another eventually being killed after continuing to frequent human-use areas and access garbage. Devin and Curt dig into the backlash against Conservation Officers, the vigil held for the sow, food-conditioned bears, human responsibility, and the uncomfortable reality of what happens when wildlife loses its fear of people.

Finally, the boys discuss disturbing allegations of remote airstrips and floatplane access being sabotaged in Northern BC and the WSSBC’s call for information.

Hunting, rifles, elk season, BC industry, grizzlies, politics, and plenty of shit talking.

Just the Gas Holes is back.

EP. 088 - MOOSE HUNT, FILM AND GEAR PREP w/ Dalton Peterson (Northern Son Media)

Season 5 · Episode 88

Saturday, August 15, 2026 • Duration 03:05:44

Episode 088 — Moose Hunt, Film & Gear Prep

The Northern BC hunt is getting close, and it’s time to figure out how the hell we’re actually going to pull this thing off.

Devin and Curt are joined by Dalton Petersen of Northern Son Media, who’ll be behind the camera for this fall’s Northern BC adventure. The boys break down the plan for a remote moose hunt with the possibility of chasing late-season sheep — starting from a wall tent base camp, but staying ready to spike out when the hunt demands it.

They get into the realities of preparing for remote northern country: cold weather, freezing water, river crossings, grizzlies, gear failures, long days and everything that can go sideways when you’re a long way from home.

In this episode:

Wall tent base camp vs. being ready to spike out
Building a sleep system for cold Northern BC nights
Water filtration and storage when temperatures drop below freezing
Trucks, quads, walking-beam trailers, winches, chains and spare parts
.300 PRCs, bullet choice and rifle setup for moose and mountain hunting
Dalton’s approach to filming hunts from inside the experience
Keeping the film raw and authentic while stepping up the production quality
Lessons Dalton has learned filming goats, sheep and other tough backcountry hunts
Finding the balance between an old-school moose camp and bringing enough comfort to actually enjoy two weeks in the bush

Dalton also gives us a look at how he approaches hunt films — capturing the bullshit, camp life, struggles and personalities along with the kill. The goal isn’t to manufacture a story. It’s to put the cameras in the middle of the hunt and let the story happen.

This one is part gear talk, part hunt planning and part figuring shit out before three guys disappear into Northern BC for two weeks.

Saturday, June 27, 2026 • Duration 01:30:16

Episode 086 – Just the Gassholes

Summer is officially here, which means the countdown to hunting season is on.

In this episode, Devin and Curt catch up on everything that's happened over the last few weeks—from trail cameras, scouting trips, camping projects, and Kokanee fishing plans to LEH draw frustrations and the reality that September is coming fast.

Devin shares a spring backcountry scouting trip with Evan Gurks, a close-range wolf encounter while training with his pack, and the release of their newest hunt film, 40 Rams Left Off the Highway? Meanwhile, Curt finally solves the mystery behind his overheating jet boat... only to discover a brand new problem.

The boys also dive into:

Why hunting content can help—or hurt—the future of hunting.
The Aaron Snyder controversy and responsibility in the public eye.
Mindless Hunter blocking them (again).

EP. 085 - LAST CHANCE MOOSE

Season 5 · Episode 83

Friday, May 22, 2026 • Duration 02:36:25

EP. 085 — Last Chance Moose

What started as a dream moose hunt deep in the Canadian wilderness quickly turned into one of the wildest survival stories we’ve ever heard. On this episode, the boys sit down with four hunters fresh off an absolute chaos-filled backcountry adventure that tested their grit, friendships, and ability to adapt when literally everything went wrong.

From busted trailers before the trip even started, to forgotten fuel and food, to freezing portages through slush and ice — this hunt became a full-on battle against the wilderness. Add in dangerous rapids, gear failures, brutal weather, and multiple grizzly encounters that still haunt the crew, and you’ve got a story that feels more like a survival movie than a hunting trip.

But somehow… through all the chaos, the boys managed to get it done and harvest a moose.

In this episode we dive into:

Near-disaster moments navigating rapids and icy crossings
Intense grizzly bear encounters that changed the tone of the trip instantly
The brutal physical and mental grind of hauling gear and meat through freezing conditions
Equipment failures, hard lessons, and survival decisions made on the fly
The brotherhood forged through stress, suffering, and shared adventure
Why hunts like this become stories you’ll tell for the rest of your life

This one is raw, hilarious, intense, and packed full of the kind of real backcountry chaos that every hunter secretly craves and fears at the same time. Whether you’re into hunting, wilderness survival, or just hearing what happens when regular guys push themselves way beyond their comfort zone — this episode delivers.

Huge thanks to the crew for coming on and sharing the full story behind the adventure.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’re really made of when things go sideways in the backcountry… this episode is for you.

EP. 084 THE ART OF MOUNTAIN HUNTING w/ Steve Speck and Mark Huelsing (EXO MTN GEAR)

Season 5 · Episode 84

Thursday, April 2, 2026 • Duration 02:28:17

In this episode, we sit down with Steve Speck and Mark Huelsing of Exo Mountain Gear—two guys who have spent decades pushing themselves in the mountains and redefining what hunting gear should be. This conversation goes far beyond packs and gear; it’s about the mindset, experiences, and lessons that only come from doing hard things in wild places.

We dig into the true essence of mountain hunting—why it demands more from you physically and mentally, and why that’s exactly what keeps us coming back. Steve and Mark share the stories that shaped their journey, from early hunting roots to building Exo into one of the most respected names in backcountry gear.

We also get deep into the evolution of pack design—what actually matters when you're miles in, under heavy load, and how small adjustments in fit and function can make or break a hunt. From packout strategies and load management to common mistakes guys make in the backcountry, there’s a ton of practical value in this one.

But at its core, this episode is about more than gear—it’s about resilience, shared suffering, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from pushing limits in tough conditions. The stories, the lessons, and the mindset behind it all are what really stand out.

If you’re passionate about mountain hunting—or want to be—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Episode 83 – Just the Gassholes

No guests, no script—just Devin and Curt back on the mics doing what they do best: talking shit and telling it how it is.

This one’s all over the map—in the best way. The boys break down Olympic hockey takes, beer league wins, and the reality of juggling ice time with hunting season in BC. From sheep, moose, and caribou stories to gear that’s way overrated, nothing’s off-limits.

They also dig into the state of hunting content online—calling out the clickbait, the BS, and what’s real anymore. Plus, a brand-new segment makes its debut: “Are You a Gas Hole?”… and yeah, you might be one.

Wrap it up with some rapid-fire questions, a few strong opinions, and a classic rant about terrible drivers in the fast lane.

Just two guys, unfiltered conversation, and a whole lot of gas.

EP. 082 - SHEEP SHOW AFTERMATH

Season 5 · Episode 82

Friday, March 6, 2026 • Duration 02:00:40

Fresh off the chaos of Sheep Show weekend, Devin and Curt sit down to recap it all — the good, the gritty, and the slightly hungover. From rough recovery mornings and questionable sleep scores to the aftermath of a few too many drinks, the boys kick things off with a real look at surviving one of the biggest mountain hunting gatherings of the year.

They break down highlights from the weekend including the RAM Awards, the launch of the new Come Out Heavy website and merch, and the unforgettable moments that only happen when a community of die-hard mountain hunters gets together. The conversation dives into gear talk — including excitement around new packs, proper backpack fitting, and the innovations shaping modern hunting equipment.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Sheep Show without a little chaos. From silent auction madness to a hilarious backpack race that brought out everyone’s competitive side, the weekend delivered plenty of laughs and stories.

The guys also reflect on the deeper side of the event — the camaraderie, meeting listeners and friends, the growing hunting community, and the volunteers who make it all happen.

This episode is a raw, funny, and honest recap of a legendary weekend surrounded by mountain hunters who all share the same passion.

EP. 081 - MTN HUNTING EXPO PRE SHOW w/ KYLE STELTER

Season 5 · Episode 80

Saturday, February 14, 2026 • Duration 01:48:53

🎙️ Come Out Heavy Podcast – Episode 081

February feels like April and we don’t know whether to grab the snowshoes or the lawn chairs.

We kick things off catching up on the unusually warm winter we’re having and how it’s messing with everything from training to getting outside. It sends us down a rabbit hole of hard labor stories from our younger years — the kind of work that sucked in the moment but built grit, perspective, and a deep appreciation for physical effort. The kind of “Type 2 fun” that only gets better with time.

We also dig into something that’s been on our minds — authenticity in hunting and social media. The highlight reels, the grip-and-grins, the filtered mountain sunsets… and the importance of keeping it real. Because at the end of the day, it’s the shared suffering, the community, and the honest stories that actually matter.

And speaking of community… the Hunt Expo is right around the corner, and we’re fired up about it. Events like these remind us why we love this lifestyle — the handshakes, the conversations, the gear talk, and the brotherhood that ties it all together.

This week we’re joined by Kyle Stelter — the heart and driving force behind the Wild Sheep Society of BC. If you care about wild sheep, conservation, and the future of hunting in this province, this conversation matters.

Kyle breaks down:

The growth of their podcast (264+ episodes and counting)
How conservation dollars are actually making an impact
Why events like the Northern Fundraiser are critical
The balance between growing hunting expos while keeping that tight-knit culture alive
The rise of vendor participation and what it says about the strength of our community
The power of Sheep Hunter University and education for new hunters

We also dive into:

Innovative gear like XO and why quality matters
Why supporting vendors at expos keeps this industry alive
