In this episode, we sit down with Steve Speck and Mark Huelsing of Exo Mountain Gear—two guys who have spent decades pushing themselves in the mountains and redefining what hunting gear should be. This conversation goes far beyond packs and gear; it’s about the mindset, experiences, and lessons that only come from doing hard things in wild places.We dig into the true essence of mountain hunting—why it demands more from you physically and mentally, and why that’s exactly what keeps us coming back. Steve and Mark share the stories that shaped their journey, from early hunting roots to building Exo into one of the most respected names in backcountry gear.We also get deep into the evolution of pack design—what actually matters when you're miles in, under heavy load, and how small adjustments in fit and function can make or break a hunt. From packout strategies and load management to common mistakes guys make in the backcountry, there’s a ton of practical value in this one.But at its core, this episode is about more than gear—it’s about resilience, shared suffering, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from pushing limits in tough conditions. The stories, the lessons, and the mindset behind it all are what really stand out.If you’re passionate about mountain hunting—or want to be—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
