0:00.0	Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast. This is episode number 499.
0:20.3	And our guest is Tason Whitaker.
0:22.8	He is the founder of Outdoor Vitals.
0:26.8	Tason is a guy I've known for a few years and always enjoy speaking with, whether that's offline, on a podcast, or with events such as one of our death hikes or just running into him at various
0:40.3	shows through business. But Taysen recently released a video documenting a solo 100-mile hike
0:48.7	he did in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. And in that video, as I just personally watched it, there was some interesting talking
0:56.5	points and takeaways that I wanted to hear more about.
1:00.1	And I thought it would be a great excuse to get Tason on the podcast so I could personally
1:03.9	ask him some questions and also share some of the information and experiences that he
1:10.3	has had over the years in the outdoors

1:20.2	in this conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I know you will as well. So thank you
1:26.1	for tuning in.
1:27.9	There are links in the show description for the video of Taysen's Wind River hike, as well
1:33.4	as a link to check out Outdoor Vitals.
1:36.1	And this was unplanned, but as I got ready to release this episode, I got an email from
1:41.9	the guys at Outdoor Vitals and they're having their biggest sale
1:45.0	of the year here before Black Friday. So this is not paid. This is not sponsored. This is
1:51.3	coincidence. If you're interested in checking out some of their gear, it is a good time to head
1:56.5	over to the Outdoor Vitals website and consider buying currently because they're having their
2:01.3	biggest sale of the year. So check out that if you are interested. But right now, let's go
2:07.1	ahead and dive into this conversation with Tason. Well, Tason, welcome to the podcast, man.
