Big Hunt Guys

On this episode, Brady sits down with Tim Anderson, the owner of Invader Concepts, to talk about what it really takes to build a gear brand from the ground up—and why backcountry carry should be comfortable, quiet, and always accessible. Tim shares the origin story: starting Invader Concepts by grinding nights and weekends while working a full-time job, building early holsters in a tiny trailer shop, and eventually making the leap to go all-in. The guys dive into what makes their flagship RECON Chest Holster work so well for hunters. Finally, they talk about what “Made in the USA” actually means at Invader Concepts—domestic sourcing, in-house manufacturing, and building a company that supports families and local jobs—plus a few wild stories that highlight why fast access matters when things go sideways in the mountains.

Kifaru, maker of some of the best packs and hunting accessories in the business, has expanded its product line in 2026 with apparel for hard-core hunters. On this week's episode, Brady and Trail sit down with Aris Sergakis and Kenneth Thrall from Kifaru to talk about their new lineup of hunting apparel. They dive deep into the fabrics, fit, and function behind each piece — why Aris chose the materials he did, how the cuts are designed for real mountain movement, and what separates this line from other options on the market. Later, Kenneth shifts gears and gives a boots-on-the-ground update on Wyoming deer herd conditions — what he’s seeing, how recent winters and moisture levels have impacted populations, and what hunters should realistically expect heading into upcoming seasons.
