Ep. 381: DON'T DIE! Backcountry First Aid Kits for Hunting - Gear Talk Series
Description
Welcome to Gear Talk, a new series of the East Meets West Hunt podcast. The Gear Talk episodes will be short bonus episodes that dive into specific gear items Beau Martonik uses and why. In this episode, he and his hunting partner, Ethan Demi, discuss their backcountry first aid kits on a moose hunt in Alaska. First aid kits aren't the most exciting topic to discuss, but you can save your life with some basic training and essentials.
