Aron goes over his recent guiding expedition for Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep with Chamley Outfitting in Wyoming. With most hunts, victory is not a guarantee. No matter what, there are several items that have to align in order to be successful. And unfortunately, the stars didn't align on this hunt.

Aron welcomes Bill Thompson from Spartan Forge to the the podcast. They talk about all the new updates coming from Spartan Forge. And if you're not familiar with Spartan Forge, you need to be. One of the most advanced and innovative hunting tools available, it's a disservice to simply call it a mapping software.

Aron welcomes Joe Gauvain and Ross Ellis from Drifter Hydration to the podcast. Aron has hustorically not been a fan of the traditional water bladder systems, often prone to leaking and failure, which can lead to a number of issues from wet gear to the inability to store water at camp. That was until he found the Drifter Hydration system. If you combine all the key things from a nalgene, a bladder, and a filtration setup - you end up with arguably the most veratile system out there, the Drifter Hydration Lite System. The boys talk about the journey and the future of Drifter Hydration, as well as share some of the key features that sets them apart from the competition. Great time with Joe and Ross on this weeks episode of the Born Primitive Outdoor Podcast with Aron Snyder.

Anyone who has followed along with Aron for any amount of time, knows he really got his start in the industry testing and reviewing all kinds of gear, very specifically backpacks. Putting all brands thru their paces, he shortly there after went to work for Patrick Smith and Kifaru and the rest is history. Now that he's a free agent again, he went back to his roots and gives his best unbiased review of 4 of the top pack companies on the market: Kifaru, Mystery Ranch, Initial Ascent, and Stone Glacier. Each one has their strong sides and short comings, but we try to provide a comprehensive review of each one. But Im sure we'll get some comments either way!
