EP 275: Elk Compilation: The Ultimate Road Trip to Elk Camp Podcast

by

Hang on to your headphones girls and boys, this podcast is going to blow your mind! We had been kicking around this idea to put together the best elk hunting parts from every podcast we have done in the last 274 episodes on elk hunting. This was a monumental task and I can’t thank everyone who helped enough, without the help of the listeners who stepped up and helped us go through literally hundreds of hours on content to pull out the extra special nuggets of wisdom. Also the big round of applause to John the producer for bringing it all together. We really wanted to create The Ultimate Road Trip to Elk Camp Podcast with the idea you could jam out all the way to elk camp. We may be a touch late for some of you but hopefully, this podcast helps you find success this season. This podcast was a huge undertaking but the only ask I have from you guys in return is that you share it with your hunting buddies and also go check out my newest project Backcountry Fuel Box. These podcasts and this information is only made possible by you guys supporting the companies that make the show happen. So make sure you support the sponsors, and if you are a dead broke college student, I totally understand, just help spread the word. Tell everyone you know The Rich Outdoors is your favorite podcast. Alrighty, enjoy this gigantic compilation of badass elk hunters, and thank you so much to all of the fans who helped put this together.

This year I launched Backcountry Fuel Box, a monthly subscription box for backcountry meals, bars, snacks, gues, and all kinds of great new products you have probably never heard of. It is a killer way to test out new options, or just save money by stashing each box for season. Check it out at backcountryfuelbox.com and save 10% with code TRO.

Wapiti Wednesday is brought to you by Phelps Game Calls. Phelps game calls are the best diaphragms out there. Even if you have tried to use diaphragm calls in the past but couldn’t, give Phelps AMP frame calls a try they are hands down the easiest calls to learn on. Also, the New “un-RIVAL-ed Bugle Tube” is out and available. The new tube packs a punch with great volume and tone, yet in a compact backcountry size. at only 4.5 ounces and 17.5” long this is ideal for guys packing in and not wanting the full-size bat. I am actually planning on rocking just the un-rival-ed tube this year on my Montana Hunt. Head over to PhelpsGameCalls.com fill your cart up with all the pretty colors and get Free Shipping with promo code TRO.

EP 237: Mental Toughness and Becoming MTN Tough

by

Today I am joined by Dustin Diefenderfer of right here in Bozeman Montana. Born and raised in Montana Dustin is a beast on the mountain and loves to push the limits. I met Dustin through the MTN Tough Course here in Bozeman and got the chance to test it out over the last couple months. You have probably heard the ads for this course on the podcast and Dustin is the man behind the scene for the MTN Tough program.
In this episode, Dustin and I dive into the mental toughness aspect of being a backcountry hunter. Not only is this one of my favorite pieces of the puzzle but also what I feel is the difference between being good and being great. We also dive into how hunting has such a much larger impact on making you a better human than is often talked about. Dustin is one of those guys who pushes the group and is always leading both mentally and physically. I really love this episode and believe this is one of the most underrated aspects to any backcountry hunt.
For over a year, behind the scenes MTNTOUGH has been building an online training program specifically designed for Backcountry Hunters They have assembled an impressive team for this task, including a former Navy Seal, a former Army Colonel who instructed physical education at Westpoint, and couple trainers with decades of experience. I tested the program here in Bozeman, with Dustin Diefenderfer, the founder of MTN TOUGH and let me tell you this program will kick your butt. Over the years I have done a ton of various work out programs. with the last couple years spending most of my time running and using kettle-bells  I was in pretty good shape when I started this workout and quickly realized this program is going to crush muscles I forgot I had.  Make sure and go to mtntough.com to get on the waiting list to be one of the first to get access to the program in June.
Oh, and MTN TOUGH is giving away 3 LIFETIME MEMBERSHIPS to 3 winners who have their name on the waiting list.

EP 212: Uncle Val – Momma’s Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys

by

Today is not your average hunting interview, but to me, it’s as every bit and even more important. A good portion of hunting is about heritage, likewise, this episode is heritage. It is also about life and insights from those who have lived before us.packing, to me, embodies so so many great so much of what I hope to help pass on to my kids and the next generation. If you don’t know Val Geissler, he is a horseman, a cowboy, a singer, a poet, a teacher, and a family man, among being a dad to not only his own but to so many others just to name a few things though I do not feel that sums up the man at all. If you have ever seen UnBranded, the documentary about riding mustangs from Mexico to Canada, Val is the father like figure that truly helps Ben Masters and the guys accomplish their mission. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend you watch it. Anyway, I had the chance to sit down for a cup of coffee with Uncle Val and to be honest I think I had a smile glued to my face the entire time. This interview with Val is one that I will hold close as one of my all time favorites up there with Roy Roth for a lot of reasons. Do we me a favor if this has as much impact on you as it did for me, share it with someone. I say that not for me at all, but I truly hope that as many people as possible get the chance to sit in the kitchen with Uncle Val and pull a bit of good old boy insight.
