In this episode I sit down with Jason (@liquidantler) and we catch up so I can hear about hunting Sika in NZ. Jason is kind of obsessed about them and was lucky enough to get two hunts in this year - one of which he won through 'The Hunting Club'. Anyone interested in trying their luck at a Sika should listen in to the tips provided by someone who has hunted them for a while. After chatting with him I'm hoping this is something I can make happen in 2026.I also chat with Steve from Voortrekka Australia who rose up to meet a challenge of creating a better travel bag for his gear. Calling it a travel bag seems an oversimplification because it's an intuitive design that was made to make packing easy, gear accessible, and organisation effortless.Jump on here to get hold of one for yourself voortrekka.com.au or check them out on socials @voortrekka.australiaDon't forget that in 2025 I am proud to be supported by two great partners;Natures Perks -naturesperks.com.au@natures_perks_ausGun Traders Australia -guntraders.com.au@guntradersaustraliaPlease also continue to support the 2024 partners;Skeleton Optics AustraliaOn Track MealsFeel free to reach out for a chat or with any podcast ideas;@australian_hunting_backcountryaustralian.hunting.backcountry@outlook.com.auRemember to look after yourself and your mates - Tobias.

Kate had her camping toilet stolen and then decided to get revenge on those that took it...not really but she did have a loo knocked off and couldn't help but wonder why.Kate from @alittle.wander got the opportunity to hunt part of NZ's backcountry with a group of other superwomen to learn, share, experience, bond and laugh. In this episode I get to hear some of the highlights from this trip and Kate also shares some of her experiences hunting as a mother of two young girls.Hopefully Kate gets the chance to get the YouTube video of this hunt pieced together but you can also check out my friend, Lucy Nilson's YouTube for her video from the trip.I also speak with Kieran from @arktos_coolers who has some great looking gear for keeping things cold when they should be and hot when you want them to be along with some other gear that might interest you all.

Ep. 30 Backpack buff hunting & Hooked Up app
Firstly, who would be crazy enough to hunt buffalo with an archery set up but secondly, who would do it at the most humid time of the year. Let me introduce you to Josh from Hooked On Life.Josh recounts the adventure two of them went on to try and bow hunt a buffalo bull in the Northern Territory and their struggles. Go view this video and many others on his YouTube and Instagram; @hookedonlife__Josh is also bringing to life a brilliant idea to help hunters and fishers come together more and share resources. The app is "Hooked Up" and could be truly a gamechanger for those looking to increase opportunities and meet likeminded people. I've kind of made it sound like a dating app but you be the judge of that...Follow along and sign up for notifications on the soon to be released app; @hookedupappDon't forget that in 2025 I am proud to be supported by two great partners;Natures Perks -naturesperks.com.au@natures_perks_ausGun Traders Australia -guntraders.com.au@guntradersaustraliaPlease also continue to support the 2024 partners;Skeleton Optics AustraliaOn Track MealsFeel free to reach out for a chat or with any podcast ideas;@australian_hunting_backcountryaustralian.hunting.backcountry@outlook.com.auRemember to look after yourself and your mates - Tobias.
As the name suggests, the podcast is focusing on backcountry hunting, not only in Australia and New Zealand, but anywhere else overseas where great adventures exist. I want to bring a podcast that explores gear, places and hunting opportunities, lived experiences, different perspectives and share the passion that people have for hard earned hunts.
I will also bring Australian and small businesses to the front, so listeners are exposed to some of the smaller or niche providers out there that support hunters and give hunters the chance to hear about things that they might want but didn’t know to look for.
We will examine gear and hear why hunters want/need some products and might not need others, conduct comparisons between products and locations and discuss the work/life/hunting balance of hunters.
The podcast will be educational and entertaining for hunters ranging from those who have no backpack hunting experience to those that consider themselves experts (as we can all learn something from someone).
