Summary

Having the right footwear is the most important gear decision you can make as a backcountry hunter. And it is also one of the most difficult pieces of gear to get right.

Welcome to the Hunts back country podcast in the first in-depth episode of the Experience Project.

0:21.5

The Experience Project marks a shift in the podcast for the next couple months,

0:27.2

really for the summer of 2024 as we lead up to the culmination of the experience project

0:33.6

that will end in several hunts that we are embarking upon in Alaska. As part of the experience

0:39.5

project, we are going to discuss the gear, the hunt, and the hunter, not only sharing about the

0:46.5

context of our specific hunts this year, but really the culmination of our collective experience

over the past decades.

and why a lot of the common wisdom and advice about hunting boots is actually quite wrong.

1:09.2

In this episode, we have a very in-depth conversation between myself and

1:13.4

Steve about what we look for with hunting footwear and a lot of the misconceptions that exist

That new website is going to be the source for all information, not only podcasts, but videos, articles, and more.

1:58.3

It is just a start. We are going to be
