Michael sits down with Joel Vanderloom, wilderness survival instructor, primitive skills expert, hunter, and former Alone contestant, for a story-driven conversation that moves from South Africa to Oregon and from bushcraft to big game. Joel shares how early lessons in tracking, spearfishing, and time with the Hadza shaped his hunting philosophy, then gets into two standout hunts that show why patience, intuition, and respect for the animal matter so much. We discuss the ethics of hunting, how predators and prey are often discussed unfairly, and what it looks like to hunt with humility instead of ego. Along the way, Joel also explains how he developed his survival and bushcraft background, and why elk hunting in thick timber became such a defining part of his life.

Mike Constantine shares the full account of a dream bow hunt on White Mountain Apache land that turned into a multi-day survival ordeal, a search and rescue operation, and a fight over what happened afterward. It starts with backyard Florida bowhunting, then moves to a high-pressure elk hunt in Arizona, where bad navigation, severe weather, and hypothermia pushed both hunter and guide to the edge. This episode is a mix of hunting, survival, and accountability.

Michael sits down with Don Goode, founder of Backcountry Bistro, for a story-heavy conversation that blends hunting, military life, and the origin of a freeze-dried meal brand. Don shares how a 2023 North Slope caribou hunt helped spark the business, why he built meals he would actually take into the field, and how customer feedback has shaped his growing menu. We discuss Don’s hunting background, his time in the Army, the realities of caribou hunting on Alaska tundra, and the practical lessons that turned into a veteran-owned food company. This episode is as much about grit and adaptation as it is about hunting and backcountry
