  According to a new poll in the Deseret News, the majority of Utahns do NOT want parents using funds from the Utah Fits All Scholarship for outdoor recreation. Greg and Holly discuss what these funds are used for and the latest details from this poll.  

Harrison Schoen (@harrisonschoen) made his name living in a Porsche Cayenne and sharing raw, honest stories from the road. But it was a moment on national television—walking away from a $1,000,000 prize on MrBeast's Beast Games—that cemented his ethos: some experiences are worth more than money. In this episode, we explore Harrison's background, why he chooses the harder path, and how storytelling, travel, and self-reliance shape his approach to life. We also discuss his latest project—a Unimog build for a Pan-American journey—and what it means to stay rooted in travel, not trends.

Backpacks are one of the most critical—and most personal—pieces of gear a hunter can own. In this episode, Brady and Trail sit down with Joe and Dennis, the founders of Initial Ascent, to talk about building packs that keep up with the demands of hardcore hunters. From their unique carbon fiber frame to their obsession with comfort, durability, and function, these guys don't cut corners. We dig into pack fit, load hauling, design evolution, and why they believe your pack shouldn't break you before the mountain does.

In this episode Dan Pickar and Brian Barney sit down for another live recording. The guys are fired up this week as they discuss elk hunting tactics. The guys talk about calling set ups, reading elk and when to spot and stalk. There is so much great elk hunting info in this podcast. They talk about next-level elk hunting instincts and how to tap into them. They get into hunting elk aggressively and how to mix the right amount of patience in there. If you hunt elk this is a must listen!

Where the trail disappears, the map lies… and no one hears you scream.

The guys are joined by the Steve Smith, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, to discuss a new law that lifts the ban on hunting on Sundays in the state.  Steve discusses the history of "blue laws", prior efforts to lift the Sunday hunting prohibition, the concerns of landowners and recreationistsand how they were addressed, how the agency will move forward with permitting Sunday hunting, how it will benefit hunters and wildlife, tresspassing in Pennsylvania, Dave and Nephi's different approaches to hunting antelope and elk, Steve's mountain, and so much more. It's not everyday that a several hundred year prohibition for hunters ends. It's worth celebrating! Tune in, and share this episode with your friends, family, colleagues, and enemies.

Whether you're dreaming of global travel or just refining your rig, this conversation offers insight from both sides of the experience: living in these vehicles, and building them to go the distance.

In Part 2 of our reflection on Sen. Lee's attempt to sell millions of acres of public lands, we take a look forward. The guys discuss why the threat of sale isn't dead; why hunters must remain vigilent in defending public lands; and ideas for helping turn the temperature down on sales threats by identifying solutions to better manage public lands for the benefit of everyone.

Anyone can bolt parts to a truck—but building a factory overlander is something else entirely. In this episode, recorded live at Overland Expo, we sit down with Dave Harriton, founder of AEV (American Expedition Vehicles), to explore what it actually takes to engineer an OEM-validated overland vehicle. From Jeep and Ram to full production lines at GM, Dave shares what goes into building expedition-ready platforms that roll straight off the assembly line—vehicles that have to meet the same durability, safety, and emissions standards as any other factory model. It's a rare look into the world where overlanding meets automotive engineering at scale—and why most aftermarket builds aren't playing the same game.

As everyone knows, Sen. Lee's public land sales provision was pulled from the Reconciliation bill at the last moment, giving public lands champions a big win. However, this wasn't the first, nor will it be the last attempt to sell public lands. What led to this effort, and what can we do to quash it in the future? In a two part series, Dave and Nephi dive into those questions, and more. Part 1 focuses on the history of public lands, including the acquisition of lands, disposal of lands, conditions for admission of states to the Union, reserving lands for various purposes, ending homesteading, why we have so much public land in the west, and what sorts of events led to a desire to sell public lands. In Part II, the guys will discuss the future of public lands, and possible solutions to turn down the temperature.

Send us a textAdventures unfold in unexpected ways when you're willing to try something new. After years of flat-water paddling, Tim took the plunge into whitewater canoeing through Paddler Co-op's aptly named "Tandemonium" course. What followed was two days of intense learning, sore muscles, and an immediate addiction to the rush of navigating rapids. The welcoming community of paddlers made all the difference, from patient instructors to friendly camp neighbors offering recovery tips.As we close out another podcast season, we're bursting with excitement about our upcoming wilderness adventures. The calendar is packed with an eight-day expedition through Barron Canyon in Algonquin, a return to Paddler Co-op for more whitewater training, and a dreamy five-day base camp on Philip Edward Island in Georgian Bay where we hope to meet up with friends from Beauty in the Backcountry and Tents and Timber. Fall brings our annual pilgrimage to Kortha Highlands for autumn colors, plus an ambitious Spanish River trip where our newfound whitewater skills will face their first real test. Family road trips to outdoor destinations round out our plans, ensuring everyone gets their fair share of adventure.After nearly 180 episodes spanning almost five years, we remain grateful for this incredible community of outdoor enthusiasts who continue to inspire us to push our boundaries.

Running nearly 2,200 miles along the spine of the Appalachian Range from Georgia to Maine, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail arguably is the world's most famous long-distance trail. Some think it's also one that can be very crowded in spots. Morgan Sommerville, the director of visitor use management for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, joins us today to discuss the trail in general and whether it's too crowded.

It's easy to get caught up in the business of overlanding and forget to actually travel. But Basil Lynch never stopped. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Basil's Garage—an overland outfitter based in San Diego—to talk about why staying on the road matters more than ever. From international travel to local weekend getaways, Basil's real-world experience continues to shape how he builds vehicles, advises clients, and runs his shop. We dig into his background, his favorite travel moments, and why firsthand experience is still the best way to know what gear works—and what doesn't. This is a reminder that in an industry built on adventure, the best advice still comes from those who live it.

Made in the West: American Innovation in OverlandingWhat does overland innovation look like when it's born in a Montana machine shop instead of an international trade show? In this episode, we sit down with Matt Linder, CEO of Truckhouse, and Graeme MacPherson of Go Fast Campers—two leaders shaping the future of American-made expedition vehicles. From composite monocoques to ultra-light pop-up campers, both are proving that thoughtful design and domestic manufacturing can still punch above their weight. This conversation explores the philosophy behind their products, the value of restraint in design, and why American ingenuity still matters in a space often dominated by imported gear.

Before overlanding was a hashtag, it was a mindset—and Graeme Jackson was one of the people who helped define it in the U.S. In this episode, we sit down with Graeme to trace the origins of overlanding in North America, from the founding days of Overland Journal to the first Overland Expo. With decades of international experience, including a full traverse of Africa in the early 2000s, Graeme brings a unique blend of practical insight and historical context. This conversation is a window into where we've come from—and what we might need to remember as the industry moves forward.

This is a collaboration between Your Mountain and Randy Newberg's Hunt/Talk Radio Podcast. On June 24th, the Senate Parlimentarian determined that Senator Lee's piece of the reconciliation bill mandating the sale of 2-3 million acres of public lands violated a procedural rule and stripped it from the overall bill. Not to be dissuated, late on the evening of June 25th, Senator Lee followed through on his promise not to give up. He submitted a revised bill that would mandate selling 612,500-1.225 million acres of BLM lands in the West. Dave, Nephi, and Randy Newberg talk late into the night to break down what's in this revisied version of his land sell off bill, whether it can survive the Parlimentarian review, whether there are enough votes in the Senate to pass it, what the House might do, and what you should do. Spoiler: This remains a really bad proposal.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Julia Sheehan, known on trail, as Rocket. Julia is a thru-hiker, former Trek Vlogger, social media sensation, nurse, and now a published author. Julia details how impulsive decision-making lead her to the wonderful world that is thru-hiking, inspired in part by everyone's favorite Hiking Viking. Rocket also shares how health issues ultimately forced her off-trail, the unsavory response she's gotten from some in the social media sphere in light of “quitting” and subsequently posting non-hiking content. Julia also shares the process in self-publishing her brand new book, Hiking is the Easy Part, a memoir of her thru-hike on the AT. We wrap the show with some news about Trail Correspondents 2026 edition, the story of a hiker that was found alive at a popular PCT pitstop after being lost in the backcountry for weeks, how much weight people lose during an AT thru-hike (and why it's generally not a good long term weight loss strategy), Chaunce and I have a borderline-impossible coincidence during today's QOTD, and the triple crown of albums.

This episode takes a deep dive into the crucial gear you should have on a DIY elk hunt. Host Joseph and guest (outfitter Tate Bradfield) detail why each item is important, along with how to pick the right brand and model for your specific needs.  This was recorded outside by an early morning campfire, so the audio isn't as good as our usually studio sound, and there are occasional wind noises. We apologize for that... but hopefully the quality of the discussion makes up for it. ENJOY!    FRIENDS! We're at a crucial time in the growth of the show, and need all the support we can get to take it to the next level. Please join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe on www.patreon.com/backcountry where you'll get access to all our bonus material, and if you wish and can contribute a few dollars.

Craig Murray, aka Weezy Davis, is arguably the best skier in the world. Fresh off a win at Travis Rice's Natural Selection, an event where Craig went head-to-head with the best big mountain skierrs in the world and showcased a different vision, speed and style than almost anyone else in the comp…But what's different about Craig is how humble he is. While skiing is something that he does and he's one of the best, he can easily get lost in the crowd off the hill because he has zero ego or need to be known.  He's one of those guys that's the best at what he's doing now, and at some point, he'll be the best at something else. He's smart, calculated, and who knows where life will take this guy.
