    Ep. 97: The Advantage Most Hunters Are Ignoring

    Hunters will spend thousands of dollars on rifles, bows, optics, boots, packs, and clothing, then crawl into a terrible sleep system and wonder why they’re dragging by day three. In this episode of the Cutter Cast, Seth and Schafer dig into one of the most overlooked parts of hunting performance: sleep. They break down what actually happens when you stack early mornings, long glassing sessions, hard miles, elevation, cold weather, and several nights of poor sleep on top of each other. Fatigue doesn’t just make you tired. It affects reaction time, focus, judgment, decision-making, recovery, and your ability to get up and do it all again the next morning. They also talk about why sleeping at elevation can be harder, how comfort and insulation affect recovery, and why your sleep system should be treated with the same seriousness as the rest of your hunting gear. Most of us wait all year for a handful of days in the mountains. Don’t spend them exhausted.

    Ep. 95: Truck Camp Comfort vs Backcountry Freedom: Which One Wins?

    Do you load the truck with every comfort you own, or throw the essentials on your back and disappear beyond the trailhead? In this episode of the Cutter Cast, Seth, Schafer, Taylor and Jake break down the real differences between truck camping and backcountry camping. They cover comfort, mobility, gear, food, sleep, access, hunt strategy, and the kind of preparation each style demands. Truck camping gives you a dependable basecamp, better meals, more gear, and a comfortable place to recover. The backcountry gives you freedom, solitude, and access to places most hunters will never reach. Both have their advantages. Both have their drawbacks. And both can turn into a disaster when you show up unprepared. Whether you live out of a backpack or bring everything but the kitchen sink, this conversation will help you decide which camping style fits your next hunt.--------------------------------------------------------------If you want spam-free notifications, updates, information and deals on Canvas Cutter products and content sign up for our Email and SMS by clicking the link: https://canvascutter.com/pages/cutter-crew#signupCheck us out at:Website: https://canvascutter.com/pages/canvas-cutter-brandFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/canvascutter/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canvascutter/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canvascutter

    Ep. 94: Behind The Canvas: Schafer Summers

    In this episode of Behind the Canvas, Seth sits down with Canvas Cutter COO and co-owner Schafer Summers to share the story of who Schafer was before Canvas Cutter, how he found his way into the company, and what he discovered once he got behind the scenes. Schafer talks about his upbringing, the work he was doing before joining the team, and the decision that changed the direction of his life. He also shares his honest first impressions of Canvas Cutter, including what the company was doing well, what needed serious work, and the moments that made him wonder what he had gotten himself into. They look back on Schafer’s evolving role, the products and systems he has helped build, and some of the biggest wins the company has experienced. They also get real about the difficult seasons, including inventory pressure, manufacturing setbacks, cash flow stress, growing pains, and the lessons that only come from carrying responsibility inside a small business. Seth and Schafer also discuss their working relationship, where they agree, where they clash, and how trust has been built through years of making difficult decisions together. From the early days to the company Canvas Cutter is becoming today, this conversation is an honest look at the people, pressure, mistakes, growth, and shared vision behind the gear.

    Ep. 93: Field Notes #27: Brumby Love, Bunker News & a DOC Winner

    We’ve got a Dominator Owners Club winner, a Brumby review so good it basically got reviewed twice, and some big Bunker Bag news. In Field Notes #27, Seth is joined by Jake and we announce July’s DOC giveaway winner: Order #856, William Watne from Kingman, Arizona. Congrats William! We also announce August’s Dominator Owners Club giveaway: a 2-year onX Hunt Elite Membership from our friends at onX. Then we jump into customer reviews, including a killer Brumby Cantle Bag review from Wendy M. after more than 50 miles riding through the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. No shifting, no loosening, no constant tightening, just a rock-solid saddle bag doing exactly what it was built to do. We also revisit James H., who left not one, but two great reviews on the Brumby Cantle Bag. Heavy canvas, locked-down straps, dry gear, hidden backpack straps, and built tough for real riding. In customer Q&A and comments, we talk through: * Cutting straps off older bedrolls for packing and wrangler use * Interest in the new Stockman Saddle Bags * Whether two men can sleep in the Dominator 3.0 * The possibility of a lighter Summit-style system for trekking and high altitude useProduct updates include: * R.E.M. Pillows have arrived* Buffalo Plaid Foam Covers are back * Barrier Mats have arrived * Bunker Bags are sold out * Heritage Bedroll pre-order is expected to begin next week On the content side, the Summit vs Dominator video is in the works, the Bow Build video drops tomorrow, and the Bow Build podcast video is live now. T is also heading out on a pack trip to get more feedback on our Jack Bag Panniers and capture more Brumby and Stockman content. And ready or not, hunts start in two weeks. Quote of the week: “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” Popular saying often attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
