Finding Backcountry Podcast Dustin Wittwer

- Education
When I was 18, I saw a picture of a successful backcountry hunter packing a mule deer buck out of the high country on his back. Until then, I did not know that was possible. That was over 14 years ago. I have been searching for that experience ever since. I have been improving my woodsmanship and hunting skills. I have been learning any chance I get. In short, I have been on the journey of Finding Backcountry ever since. This podcast is my journey.

*One of the few episodes with an "ad" or promo code. Gulo Outdoors was kind enough to offer their booth space for the podcast. It was the least we could do to say thanks.
