  • What happened to Phelps?

    Cutting the distance was one of my favorites, it was a mistake replacing it with in pursuit. Meateater networks have lost my interest.

  • Love the real talk on Fitness.

    Thanks for the extensive line up of info. Also to the guy that said “do t want to listen to a fitness podcast”….umm don’t? Pay for your high fence hunt/governor tag and keep killing the exotic cattle. The rest of us will stay primitive.

  • Don’t want to listen

    Don’t want to listen to a fitness podcast, was only here for good elk hunting stories and tips from the real hunters that bring home meat to the table, not CrossFit meat heads full of themselves.

  • Ep. 143 - suppressor

    You were talking about not being sure if you’re able to take your suppressor to the Yukon and how you can’t take pistols, here in Canada suppressors are fully illegal to own and handguns are only legally allowed to be shot at a licensed gun range. Can’t even shoot them on our own property legally.

  • Five stars for Remi two for the rest

    Remi’s podcast made this series, no offense to these guys but i couldn’t get through the fifth podcast after he left, he has his own pod so i recommend switching to that. They messed up losing Remi.
