When you thing the Plan Fell Apart: Lessons from a Yukon Bison Hunt

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 29:19

This episode dives into a real Yukon backcountry experience where nothing went as planned—and that’s exactly where the best lessons came from. Bryce Bekar reflects on a late winter bison hunt with a group of youth, where deep snow, brutal conditions, and heavy hunting pressure made success uncertain. From stuck machines and changing plans to wolves on the mountainside and a last-minute opportunity, this trip became about far more than harvesting an animal. At its core, this episode is about mentorship, responsibility, and learning by doing. The youth on this trip didn’t just observe—they worked, adapted, and took part in every step, from trail breaking to processing the animal. This is a story about resilience, leadership, and why getting kids into the outdoors matters now more than ever.

The Mental Game: Staying Present in the Field

Season 2 · Episode 3

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 • Duration 14:24

Gear matters. Preparation matters. But when things start to go sideways in the backcountry, it’s rarely your equipment that makes the call—it’s your headspace. In this episode, Bryce shares hard-earned lessons from sheep hunts, steep terrain, and close calls to explore why presence, calm, and judgment matter more than confidence alone. This is a conversation about decision-making under pressure, training your mind, and learning to stay present when it really counts—in the mountains and in life.

Who Showed You The Way?

Season 2 · Episode 1

Tuesday, January 27, 2026 • Duration 12:30

Why do we keep going back outside? After years on the land — through cold mornings, hard trips, injuries, and moments of quiet reflection — Bryce shares what the outdoors has really taught him. This episode isn’t about gear, tags, or trophies. It’s about something deeper. It’s about mentorship. About responsibility. About the quiet moments when you realize someone is watching how you move, how you act, and how you treat the land. From lessons learned on the trapline to raising kids outdoors, Bryce reflects on how time spent outside shapes who we are — and why the way we carry ourselves matters more than anything we say. This episode sets the tone for Season Two of Wild Place Adventures: real stories, hard lessons, and the understanding that the land doesn’t belong to us — we borrow it. Because loving the land means protecting it. And protecting it starts with respect.

Not Everything Is Equal: Preparing for the Wild and for Life

Thursday, September 4, 2025 • Duration 21:08

In this episode of the Wild Place Adventures Podcast, Bryce Bekar dives deep into the idea that not everything in life — or in the wild — is created equal. From physical preparation to mental resilience, from gear lessons to personal stories of loss and growth, Bryce explores how small struggles can prepare us for life’s toughest moments. Drawing from his own experiences — from motocross and bungee jumps to grieving the loss of family at a young age — Bryce emphasizes the importance of pushing yourself, learning from mistakes, and investing wisely in both mindset and equipment. He shares hard-earned lessons about gear (like why cheap binoculars cost him more in the long run), the role of discomfort in building resilience, and why representing hunters and anglers ethically matters more than ever in today’s digital age. Above all, this episode is about stewardship, preparation, and valuing the most finite resource we all have: time. Bryce closes with encouragement to get out this season — whether it’s geese, ducks, moose, or elk — and to always hunt and fish with your kids, not for them. ⸻
