    011 - The Philosophy of Building Hunting Arrows

    In this episode Jack and Rob discuss the philosophy behind building hunting arrows. If you want to take your archery set up to the next level but have never gone down this rabbit hole before, this is a must listen. The main idea is that building the "perfect arrow" is all a give and take. Every build is a compromise in speed, weight, durability, forgiveness, affordability, and tons of other factors. Balancing compromises and finding the sweet spots is the recipe to success, and after listening to this episode you'll have a great foundational knowledge to build the perfect arrows for your own set up.

    010 - It's an Elk Hunt, Not a Marathon!

    Jack and Rob discuss the caloric burn and physical demands of backpack hunting compared to other high output and endurance sports or events. The big difference comes in the dynamic of doing something that takes days on end vs a single day effort. The goal here is not to have an abstract conversation, but to be as specific as possible on the exact caloric and physical demands. They discuss realities and strategies around hunt duration, access to resources, ability to recover, nutrition, increasing capacity, and managing cumulative fatigue. They also go over lots of scenarious outlining how effort and output change with changes in pack and bodyweight.
