In this episode of the NIOA Unloaded Podcast, we're joined by Rob Gearing, the mastermind behind Spartan Precision Equipment. Known for his wild hunting adventures and innovative gear, Rob takes us through his journey from creating top-tier bipods and tripods to his unique approach to life—complete with a rather unconventional diet. From adrenaline-fueled hunting stories to insights into the Spartan Precision range, Rob's passion for the outdoors and precision engineering shines through. Whether you're a hunting enthusiast or a gear fanatic, this episode has something for everyone.
This week on TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome back backcountry hunting veteran and founder of Spartan Precision Equipment, Mr. Rob Gearing. If you tuned in last time, you'll recall that Rob and I explored Spartan Precision's extensive range of bipods and tripods—renowned for their forward-thinking, modular design and dependable performance in tough conditions. But today, we're focusing on another one of Rob's driving passions: backcountry hunting. Backcountry hunting is one of the few hunting-related subjects I've been fascinated with in more recent years. Rob, has spent decades traveling the world—venturing into the rugged mountains of New Zealand, the sweeping plains of Africa, and the remote wilderness of Scotland—all in pursuit of challenging hunts. He's here to share the invaluable experience and insight he's gained along the way, shedding light on the essential gear, physical preparation, and mindset needed to thrive in some of the most demanding environments on Earth and combine it with the skills to bring home the kill. While Spartan Precision Equipment might be best known for their featherweight Javelin bipod—tipping the scales at just a few ounces—they also offer a broad lineup of versatile shooting supports, from the Sentinel tripod to the Davros head. Thanks to Rob's constant drive for innovation, these products are designed to help hunters stay agile and adaptable in unpredictable terrain. During our conversation, we'll touch on how his deep-rooted passion for hunting fuels the design process, and how he hopes these breakthroughs can encourage more people to take part in backcountry adventures. So whether you're a seasoned hunter or just curious about this exhilarating pursuit, join us for a deep dive into Rob Gearing's world. You'll hear captivating stories from his decades-long career, practical advice for getting started, and a wealth of tips on staying safe and successful in remote wilderness settings. Our hope is that this episode inspires more hunting enthusiasts—both novice and veteran—to discover the unique challenges and rewards of backcountry hunting. https://www.instagram.com/spartanprecision/ https://www.facebook.com/spartanprecisionequipment https://www.youtube.com/user/javelinbipod/

Welcome to today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast! I'm thrilled to have Rob Gearing on the show—a lifelong shooter, hardcore hunter, and the founder of Spartan Precision Equipment. Rob has a fascinating background, and today, he's here to share not only his personal journey but also the story of Spartan and how it's shaking up the world of shooting gear. Spartan Precision started with just one product: the Javelin Bipod. It was designed with hunters in mind—lightweight, practical, and built to last. But Rob and his team didn't stop there. Over the years, Spartan has grown into a powerhouse, making not only bipods for backcountry hunters but also adaptable tripods and bipods that fit perfectly into tactical and competition roles. They've stayed true to their hunting roots while keeping an eye on what shooters need now and in the future. In this episode, Rob and I dig into what makes Spartan tick, why their gear is becoming more popular here in the U.S., and—get this—he even gives us a little teaser about what they're unveiling at SHOT Show 2025. If you're a gear junkie or just curious about bipods, you'll definitely want to check out Spartan's free resources on their website and their new educational videos on YouTube. So, sit back, relax, and let's get into it. Please join me in welcoming Rob Gearing of Spartan Precision Equipment to the podcast!

On this episode, Matt Gagnon shares the powerful capabilities of dogs trained for blood tracking and recovery of big game. Matt and his colleagues across the US are deeply passionate dog owners and practitioners of a skillset that, when needed and leveraged, can literally save a hunt from the most unfortunate of outcomes...a hit but unrecovered animal. Matt's love and passion for his Malinois and her capabilities is the ultimate example of the deep bonds and history between humans, dogs and hunting. @mattgagnonphoto @timehonoredmedia @rockymountainbiggamerec www.rockymountainbiggamerecovery.org www.unitedbloodtrackers.org --------------------------- SUPPORT WILD SHEEP: Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.

Will Israel, the new (as of January 2024) Executive Director of the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, reached out to discuss Executive Order 14026 and the implications for guides and outfitters, specifically on federal lands. Honestly, we had not heard anything about this EO, but as you dig deeper into it - you can begin to understand how politics work in arenas like this. It's almost the classic two steps forward, two steps back when it comes to differing administrations thoughts around different issues - this one specifically is tied to hourly wages and overtime of guides and outfitters (yes even trout fishing operations) on federal lands. As you can imagine there are lots of nuances, lots of questions, lots of "what if" scenarios - that all point to the possibility of incredible hardships on the industry writ large that a ALOT of people have no idea is actually happening. This is a key piece that all fisherman, wilderness excursions, guides, outfitters, hunting operators etc., are ALL on the same page about. Do you have a questions we can answer?

Robbie reached out to John Randolph with the Institute for Wildlife Studies in California and lead author of a study of the dispersal of juvenile mountain lions (his Master's thesis) in California and Nevada to have a sciency conversation around this intriguing paper. There was a lot of talk around this paper with a lot of claims being made, as such, Robbie wanted to get the information from the papers authors and really get into the nitty gritty of the paper and the findings. John and Robbie discuss the paper, as its chief author, and lay out crisply what the conclusions are, since it has been picked up by “both sides” and weaponized. We would highly suggest listening to this podcast as it will arm you with critical information tied to the mountain lion proposition in Colorado. Do you have a questions we can answer?

In Part 3 of his neck strengthening series, Wardo elaborates on some tips he's used to help his patients ensure they're covering all their bases with their neck strengthening program or rehab. When it comes to the neck (like most body parts) you can't just focus on the neck, you need to look at other areas to determine whether they're impacting your pain and/or ability to make progress. This episode focuses on the shoulders and how the neck can be impacted by shoulder dysfunction. @drmattwarddc ————————— Use code QUICKANDDIRTY to get 25% off at www.wildernessathlete.com Use Code BTKSHIP to get free shipping on the Ascent Tripod or, any other Spartan Precision Equipment products and accessories, at www.javelinbipod.com.

Rob Gearing is the founder of Spartan Precision Equipment which makes hands down the best bi-pod on the market, The Javelin. As a hunter and outdoorsman, Rob's needs were not being met by the bi-pods on the market, so he did what all great entrepreneurs do, he created a new product that met his needs and filled a hole in the marketplace. In this episode, Ryan and Rob talk a bit about product innovation but mostly discuss all the wild places hunting can take you and contrasting views between the hunting and non-hunting world. Rob and Ryan have both been all over the world hunting and traveling and talk through the community that is built on a hunting trip, especially ones that have a little bit of torture endured by the hunting party.
