Hunting and Surviving - Knowledge Weighs Nothing

Elk Talk

In this episode (89) of Elk Talk Podcast, John Barklow of Sitka Gear joins Corey and Randy.  John's 26 years in the Navy, much of that teaching survival in Alaska, makes John a great guest to discuss what went right and what went wrong on Corey's Alaska elk hunt. Extreme conditions in lonely terrain require a strong mental game and preparation.  Topics covered include John's motto that knowledge weighs nothing, challenges of traversing steep terrain with heavy loads, backcountry illness, cold nights on the mountain, conditions for hypothermia, and a lot of other good information for comfort and success (and safety) on difficult backcountry hunts.
