If you like a good story that starts out rough and points towards success this is it. We begin with Jon Turner and his service as a US Marine and land on his family farm in Vermont several years later. Helping kids learn how to handle single-digit cold and love it, utilizing and teaching others how to take plants and animals from field to fork, and demonstrates how one good Marine and others like him, can transition from military life and the rigors that go with it to life outside of the setting. I must say, it still looks a lot like service to me.

Many in the NRS community are fans of the Hill People Gear brand packs, kit bags, and more. In this podcast, Craig interviews Casey Gorsett, brand ambassador, and Kevin McDowell, director of marketing for HPG. We specifically wanted these guys on to discuss big game hunting in the Rocky Mountains and they did that very well. Casey is a well-experienced hunter and Kevin is new to hunting so this offered a wonderful opportunity to get their perspectives on the ins and outs of hunting out there which is very different than what we experience in the Eastern Woodlands. We talk about the terrain, weather, gear, and packing those big critters out. We certainly did not ignore our common use of HPG gear and how that benefits them in this type of hunting and backcountry travel.
