Ep 209 The Hunting Stories Podcast: Don Goode

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 Whatever is in stock can be found here: https://backcountrybistro.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/backcountrybistromeals/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561638276299 Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/654855740292381 ⁠Hunting Stories Links⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to be a guest?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
