470 | Why Smaller Calibers May Be Better For Big Game Hunting (Part 2) — The Experience Project
This is the second half of a conversation that explores how bullets kill and why smaller calibers may be better for big game hunting. Be sure to listen to Part 1 of this conversation (Episode 469) before listening to this 2nd-half of the discussion.
In this episode we compare how different types of bullets create different types of wound channels, discuss the relationship between impact velocity and bullet expansion/upset, compare the terminal capabilities of Steve's 6mm Creedmoor and Mark's 7mm SAUM, and more.

469 | Why Smaller Calibers May Be Better For Big Game Hunting (Part 1) — The Experience Project
This podcast will challenge decades of "common knowledge" about what type of rifle and bullet should be used for big game hunting. In fact, if you can't have an open mind about things you "know" to be true, you probably shouldn't listen to this. We don't say that to be dramatic, but because being willing to accept information that challenges widely-held assumptions is critical to processing this information...
When you listen to this conversation you will hear that killing big game animals quickly, cleanly, and consistently doesn't typically require a big caliber and a tough bullet. And why the bigger, heavy-hitting rifles are mostly counter-productive.

After footwear, which is the most important gear item for the backcountry hunter, the next most important thing to have is a comfortable, strong, and durable pack system.
We have spent well over a decade obsessing about pack systems for backcountry hunting. But right now we are not talking specifically about our Exo Mtn Gear pack systems; we want to talk about the essential things to consider when looking at any pack for backcountry or mountain hunting...

466 | The Best Hunting Boot (Isn't What You Think It Is) — The Experience Project
Having the right footwear is the most important gear decision you can make as a backcountry hunter. And it is also one of the most difficult pieces of gear to get right.
In this in-depth conversation, Steve & Mark discuss what they have learned over the past decade+, as they have hiked and hunted in dozens of footwear brands, models, and styles, over thousands of miles, in many states, and through all seasons and conditions.
What they have learned is that much of the common wisdom about ‘the best boot for hunting’ is dead wrong...
