In May 2024 I was able to spend an incredible 3 weeks hunting in New Zealand and in between hunts, I was very fortunate to be able to meet up with the two young lads from @theweekendmish. Raz and Gabe are absolutely knocking it out of the park with their hunting and success in this world. We had a really fun chat and I would loved to have stayed longer but their schedule was tight so I slipped in for as long as I could and then moved on to my next hunting location. I'm really looking forward to seeing what these young men are up to next. They have some amazing videos on YouTube so be sure to check them all out (if you haven't already).

My 'friend of the podcast' in this episode is Shaun from Alpine Beards (@alpine_beards_australia). This small business based in Albury, NSW, and is making some really interesting mens products - aimed at those of us with facial hair in need of some TLC. I am all for treating my beard and smelling nice so as a special treat, podcast listeners can get 20% off using the code "AHB20" for a limited time.
