Summary

We are hunters that love to backpack deep into the backcountry, but there are times that a basecamp is an invaluable aspect of our hunts. Most backcountry hunters invest a lot of time and effort to carefully plan every item that goes into their pack for backcountry hunts, but it isn’t as common for hunters to think critically about how they put together their basecamp. This podcast will help you consider how to plan and execute an effective basecamp for your next hunting adventure. Our friend Josh Kuntz joins us to share the best basecamp lessons he has learned in many years of hunting and thoughtful analysis.
