Welcome to the Gritty Podcast. I am your host, Brian Call, and I am joined by my brother, the Gritty Bromine. How are you, Brent?

I'm well. Thank you. Good. Today's podcast is with our buddy Kevin Tim, owner of Seek Outside.

And we're going to talk about, on this podcast, we're going to talk a little bit about backpacks. Seek Outside makes a backpack.

I used one last year on a trip to Kodiak Island for a year before. Did everything's a blur. Kovie got us all kind of screwed up right now.

It's like that part of the life just disappeared. It was just like exercised from existence.

Ex-sized, exercised, excised.

Anyway, so Kevin and I talk about his backpack, his design. I think it's a really interesting show. I actually loaded up with 120 pounds, I think, or something.

Yeah.

Of weights, put it on my back, walk around with it a little bit. I used one on Kodiak Island. Like I said, I put a whole goat in it and carried it around.

It's a comfortable pack. It's shifted a little much and we talked about that on today's show. And he explained why.

It's a really unique pack in that it can be customized and designed for just with its straps and set up very uniquely to each individual.

And so, and the loads you're carrying. So anyway, it'll be fun pack. I'm going to run it a couple on a couple of hunts and just put it through the paces.

I got a configuration I'm kind of keen on. I'm looking at running. It's a cool show. It's an interesting show if you're if you nerd out on backpacks. It's a good show.

So, I think you're going to like it. You can always use the code Gritty at seek outside for their shelters, stoves and their backpacks.

And get you save like 5% over there with seek. Good stuff there. And we just published a podcast the other day asking or telling people about the boot dryers that Graxages came out with.

And Graxas a buddy of ours. They sell the game bags that we like to promote and use. And they have he has created a boot dryer that we covered.

Well, a lot of you were like, where's the pictures and we've covered it once before and other people were like, well, how do you get the heat into the boot.

And so I'm just going to briefly touch on that one more time. I run a seek outside shelter with a stove usually a teepee.

I take my tripod and I stand it up. I take my boots, try to not in the loop. I hang my boots off the tripod.

So my boots are elevated in the canopy of the tent above the stove. So the heat is really mild. It's like 75, 80 degrees up in there. Maybe 85.

And my boots are soaked. I turn on the boot dryers. They're blowing hot air because it's up in the canopy of the teepee into the boot.

Boom, voila, warm boots dry boots every night. I get I wake up with warm warm boots every morning. I put on warm boots. It is awesome. And it's not heavy. It's worth the weight runs on your charger.
