Redneck Tech Podcast

Joe, who you may have already seen, has been a part of our crew for the past year. He transitioned from working as a mechanical contractor into working in this industry as a creative. For anyone wanting to make the switch, or who has made the switch, knows how daunting making that jump is. We are talking to Joe about exactly what that looks like in a practical sense. This one is worth a listen. - YouTube Video Link: https://youtu.be/XiONJWEQtXY - Follow us on Social: Instagram: @rednecktechpodcast TikTok: @rednecktechpodcast YouTube: @rednecktechpodcast Email: rednecktechpodcast@gmail.com Website: www.RedneckTechPodcast.com

Social media is changing the game in so many ways and on todays podcast I sit down with Graham Johnston to talk about all those ways. We both start in this industry about the same time, mine in production and his in the ad agencies. Even though we took different paths we are still coming up with the same conclusions on what is going on in this industry. Check it out.

This week we sit down and talk to Ev and Jaime from Code of Silence. Code of Silence is a fairly new clothing and pack brand based out of Sydney Nebraska that was born out of the need for better comfort and more silent clothes for whitetails. We talk about content, clothes, hunting and tell a few stories. It was a good one.

Over the years cameras have improved and they have added features that make life as an outdoor content creator much easier and in most cases better. It has became a little more expensive with all the hard drives we need to buy now but in the end the content is worth the cost.

We didn't know what to talk about, so we just kind of spit balled this one. Topics covered (generally) are what Ryer has been doing to better himself professionally, namely reading books, subscribing to magazines, and intaking knowledge from industry pros. Caleb talks about the show he just finished (West Wing) and how Aaron Sorkin uses writing so efficiently to plant seeds, pull threads, and develop characters.

In this business we have a term for a hike in to a location for a hunting trip. Generally they are 2-3 days into an elk hunt that is not going as well as we hoped and we want to get into more elk or something of that nature. I have a had a few of them on Turkey hunts too. When you take off with camera rig and a heavy pack in a general direction with an unknown destination for an unknown amount of time, those normally qualify as a death march. Ryer and Joe just got back from the Death March of all Death Marches. British Columbia Canada is a different animal and when you are there for Moutain goat, key word being "Moutain" its going to have several elements of suck involved. Ryer in particular found the suck. I told Ryer before he left this was either going to be the best trip he has ever been on or the worst. Special thanks to Bergara Rifles for letting us tag along on such an epic adventure. This is going to be a good podcast.

Chuck and the CC crew have talked ad nauseam about how things are going in the hunting world. Now that we have done this for over 20 years combined we have seen the ebbs and flows but the state of the industry right now is.......how do you say...off. It is at a crossroads. There is nowhere for good content to live and the content that is out there is throw away content. Maybe we are too close to it but today we are going to talk about some of the things we have debated for years with you guys.

We are all, well me and Ryer are huge Christopher Nolan fans so of course we had to go see Oppenheimer. We got to watch it on Wed as a group and here is our review of the film. I hope you enjoy it.

Josh is a producer from NC who has been working on video production ever since college. He is one of the few guys that has been to college for video and film production. On this episode we are going to talk about what that was like as well as some of the plans we have for Josh to Freelance this fall with us.

On this episode we are going to review another film. We have done this once before but now that we have started doing it, we have had several sent over for us to watch. We are going to watch it for the first time on the podcast then we will watch it again, break it down and reiew it. If you have a film you want us to watch send it in. Derek told us we could butcher it so here we go!

The old days are over and the new age of marketing is here. The old day of all of the content coming out of a cave from some agency is over. People want a face, people want someone or something to look at and trust. They can't trust a company but they can trust a face and a story. That is our plan. On this podcast we talk about that plan!

Is what we do art? To me personally that is a stretch but at other times it absolutly is. I think first we have to define what art is. On this podcast we talk about our personal worth in art and where we get inspiration for our "Art"

"The Call" has been out for over a week now and the responce has been incredible. Honestly we are blown away at all the positive feedback we are getting and it has us wanting to do more. This subject also brings up some ugly sides of the outdoor film world. We will get to that. This should be a fun one.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!! We have been teasing it and talking around it for a long time and the film is finally out. If you haven't seen it you need to go to the NWTF Youtube channel to watch it. THE CALL is a film that has been almost 3 years in the making and we are so proud to finally have it out there. Please go watch it!

Pender is someone we have wanted to get to sit down with us on the podcast for a long time. I have known Pender for over 11 years now and you wont find a better human or someone who likes to chase turkeys more than he does.

I got the surprise of my life when Dustin Apple showed up at the office today with a huge surprise. He created an amazing custom table for the podcast studio that literally left me speechless. It is by far the coolest thing I have ever received. I also talk to Dustin about how he was one of the first people to come to a Redneck Tech Class and now he is working as a content creator for Weld.com. Good times.

One of my favorite people and one of the biggest coyote killers out thee is Casey Shoopman. Casey has been on the podcast before but this time we talk about how he has fallen in love with the Canon R5. Casey is most of the time a one man band when it comes to his content so he breaks down how the R5 has made what he is doing even better. You can find casey on instagram: @cshoop24 or on The Management Advantage web show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ManagementAdvantage Host: Caleb Copeland @copecreative Co-Host: Ryer Porter @ryer_porter Co-Host: Clay Courington @clay_courington Website: www.rednecktechpodcast.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmAADgA8iPetpAIdTv05hWg Instagram: @rednecktechpodcast Facebook: Redneck Tech Podcast Email: rednecktechpodcast@gmail.com

We got to go to the NWTF National convention this year and we were lucky enough to get to have a podcast booth there at the show.

It is a quick one today. We're talking double shooting. More specifically, some tips and tricks that we have found to help us when we are double shooting!

Starting a business and making it great is one of the things that brings me a ton of joy. Hearing an awesome story about how a company started with Zero and is now all the way to Hero makes it even better. Tom Kubiniec from Secure It has one of those stories. He started with tape racks and now he is one of the world leaders in gun storage for the military and civilians. Tom was bold and talked the talk but also walked the walk. We talk about everything from guitars to servers to guns to hunting and a lot in between. Lots to learn on this podcast. The main point being how important decentralized storage for your firearms can be.

Logan Start is one of those guys that cannot be introduced in one or two sentences. He was a scout sniper in the Marines, he has been at BRCC pretty much since the beginning and has had a hand in building the content juggernaut ever sense. He was responsible for almost ever piece of content that came out of BRCC for years. He has helped create the persona that is Black Rifle that we all know and love. On this podcast we talk about content creation, story telling, whats sets a story apart as well as his upcoming Triple 7 Project with Folds of Honor.

If you follow us on Social Media then you know that Caleb got it done on a big Kansas whitetail yesterday. This podcast is the whole story of how that deer hunt went down, and let me tell you it was a wild ride. Also at the end of the podcast we talk to some of the guides at KNS Outfitters about hunting out of state and saying "YES". My buddy Derek Stoner came on this hunt to film just because he says "YES". He is a perfect story on why saying yes is so important. Check it out and follow us on social media to help keep up to date with all that we have going on and when our next class is going to take place!!

Too many times I have heard my friends tell me they want to go hunting with me, so I ask them to go and they sway they cannot for a thousand different reasons. Everyone has those same excuses. Stop letting life get in the way of living.

This fall has already seemed to get away from us. We have already gotten done so much it seems and we are just getting warmed up. Cold fronts are starting to hit around the country so we are in full swing. We have gotten to do several trips so far so we figured since we had some time we would get back and get you guys updated on the world!!

If you have been on any fishing social media or TikToks you have more than likely seen our friend Macy. Macy is a Georgia girl and her main focus is fishing and social media for some awesome brands. She is here today to talk to us about the status of the industry and what she feels are some coming trends and how to work with brands.

Today We're talking about a lot of nothing. Anx by nothing we mean shows, series, creative ruts, gloating, and whatever else! Come along for the ride!

Today we're talking about the 2022 class, and reviewing how we think it went, how we feel like the students did and what we think they got out of it! This was one of our favorite classes to date, and we feel like everyone really learned a lot! We love these classes, and we already cannot wait for the next one!

We met this guy in March on a hunt in Texas and he has quickly became one of our favorite humans walking the planet. Not only can he cool he is a great person that you want around and in your camp cooking for your folks. Good people are hard to find, Jason is one of them.

Today we're talking about what it takes to work in the hunting industry. It takes a special type of person to do this job, and live this life, so we thought we'd wrap up our "So You Wanna" series with this one!

TV is where we have made a living for years and we know a ton about it so we know a few things. The main question I have is why do you weant to be on TV?

The guys dived into shooting with a purpose for social media. Tips and tricks on what to think about when you are in the field taking pictures and what to think about when you are shooting for specific brands, lifestyles and stories.

Over the last couple days we have had several questions come into the IG page which we have already answered but we wanted to make sure we got to answer them in long form. We also introduce another face to the podcast.

The long anticipated Top Gun Sequel has finally been released and we went to see it. This podcast is going to be a fun one because we all know Ryer is a huge Top Gun and plane nerd so he really got into this and it was pretty emotional for him. Should be a fun discussion.
