On this episode, Mike and Kelly sit down with Connor Gabbott from Talus Creative to discuss photography and filmmaking in the field.
Capturing a hunt can be a difficult task, but the photos we bring back are often the real trophies of our time spent outdoors and always worth the extra effort. Connor breaks down equipment, techniques and even shares some simple tricks for your iPhone that will help you bring home better images. He also leaves the guys with some excellent advice for their August sheep hunt.
If you have more questions about capturing your hunt, get in touch with Connor on Instagram @taluscreative
On this episode, Mike and Kelly welcome back Corey Piersol from Sitka Gear to discuss clothing systems. There's a lot of science that goes into each piece of clothing you wear, and Corey breaks down what you might want to consider when investing in clothing for your next big hunt.
The guys use their August sheep hunt as an example and find out what they need for a hunt where weather conditions are extremely unpredictable. They also get into backpacks and finish things off with a good ole hunting story.
