I have had the opportunity to test a lot of Argali gear over the last few years, and I always love getting to sit down and chat with Brad.

We dove into some of the lessons learned from our hunting trips this year, and then we got into one of the products I have been testing for them this season, and Brad shared an exclusive product announcement.Brad

Jake is one of my favorite people. What you see is what you get; he doesn’t pull punches, and you never have to wonder what he thinks on any given subject or individual.

EP 202 - How To Find the Perfect Pair of Hunting Boots

The Mindful Hunter Podcast ·

2024/11/19

One of the most challenging things about finding the right boot is that reviews are almost no help whatsoever.

At the end of the day, the only true way to find a boot that works for you is to try it on. However, I think I can help narrow down the selection and find boots that will fit your needs more effectively. 0:00 – Intro 6:07 – Boot selection framework 6:25 – Stiffness 10:40 –
