Podcast appearances and mentions of john barklow

Welcome back! In today's episode, Alex Comstock and Jeremy Lopez are joined by John Barklow. John has spent over 20 years in the military, training special operation forces to survive and carry out the mission in harsh conditions. He is the product developer behind Sitka Gear's big game and whitetail lines. John takes us on a journey through his background growing up in Ohio, where his passion for hunting was first brought to life, and how his experiences in the field shaped his career in developing high-performance gear for hunters. Throughout the conversation, John shares valuable insights into the often-overlooked performance needs of the whitetail hunter and how Western and whitetail hunting principles—such as layering, managing moisture, and proper gear choices go hand-in-hand. John also dives deep into some topics, such as managing heat from your head, hands, and feet for optimal performance. He offers advice on shooting accuracy while wearing bulky clothing and how to properly fuel and hydrate your body to stay sharp and focused on stand. And most importantly, what you can be doing right now to prepare for the next whitetail season. If you're looking to up your game in the field, this episode is packed with expert advice that will change how you think about your gear, strategy, and preparation. This was a fun episode with one of the most knowledgeable voices in the hunting industry. Sit back and enjoy the show!

Long before John Barklow was designing ass-kicking hunting gear for Sitka, he was a retired Navy diver who used his years of knowledge and experience to teach SEALs how to survive in the wilderness. In fact, his website, Knowledge From Storms, offers up (literally) bone-chilling testimonials and how-to videos of survival — including his infamous “How to Survive Hypothermia” tutorial. Barklow not only explains best practices in survival contingencies, but also preparation and the psychology necessary for worst-case scenarios. And if that wasn't enough, Barklow weighs in on the gear that he — and maybe you — relies on to keep him safe and comfortable almost anywhere.

In this episode (194) of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy invites John Barklow, lead designer for Sitka Gear, and Tyler Johnerson, Randy's former camera guy and amazing hunter, for a discussion about how product testing works for high performance products.  We all benefit from these intensive testing processes, yet we seldom get to hear how it works, when it succeeds, and when it is time to go back to the drawing board. John and Tyler talk about the many products John has designed for Tyler to test and the process used to improve the Sitka Jetstream Jacket that launched this summer. Many hunting stories get told along the way, explaining the tough conditions that brought about a new idea.
