Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast, brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment, and good food.

What is up, everybody? Mark on the mic, joined by good friend mr rob gearing from spartan precision now if

you're not familiar with spartan precision uh they specialize in ultralight versatile customizable rapidly

deployed rifle support systems we're talking uh we're talking bipods, we're talking shooting sticks,

things of that nature. And I've been using them for the last couple years, actually just

used one of their bipods, the hunt tack pro rob on a spring bear hunt and was actually

able to get into a spot where I could get prone and shot an absolute

tanker of a western mountain bear. So Rob, it worked again. Now, we're not talking, well, we might

talk a bit about spring bears this year because I can't help myself, but I'm sure we'll cover

a lot of ground here. The main topic of conversation is hunting the UK, which is where you are at.

And Rob, I first, while I was familiar with your products, but I'd never really considered

or thought much about hunting the UK until I listened to you on a different podcast,

talking about hunting red stag in the Scottish highlands

and I was super intrigued by it. I looked it up on the old inner web. I got to see what this place

looks like. The landscape was breathtaking. It reminded me somewhat of like the alpine of

Codiac or the North Cascades of Washington

in some regards.

The animals looked super cool.

The hunt and the place just sounded amazing.

And I mean, it was serendipitous.

I bump into you at a show.

We start chatting a little bit.
