In the outback of Australia, Brady sits down with Drew Miles of Tricer to talk Sambar deer, hunting styles, and gear built to work when it counts.

We talk a lot of gear, including the Neville brothers’ Rough Ridge Stove company, Tricer gear innovation, and building products for hunters who actually use their gear hard. From bipods and panheads to micro-panning and backcountry stoves, this conversation is all about finding better ways to hunt.
