The last time Kevin Timm (@ktoutside17) was on the show, we were recording episode 5 and a lot's happened since then with Seek Outside, so we thought it was time to have him back on the show to talk about it.

@seekoutside has gone well beyond designing great shelters; they've created an innovative zipperless design for their ultralight offerings AND (most exciting) they are now designing their own backpacks.

From big load-bearing packs for hauling meat or pack rafting gear to lighter fast packs, Seek Outside now has a heck of a pack lineup that I think a lot of people are sleeping on. I've had the chance to check them out in person and I think what they're doing will really turn some eyebrows in the thru-hiking space specifically. I'll be giving the Flight 3 a go this summer and am beyond excited to see if this is THE pack I've been searching for all my life.

If you're in the market for an ultralight pack (sub 3 lbs) capable of comfortably hauling heavier loads for long water carries or when you need to pack some extra gear, you'll want to check out what Seek Outside is doing.

Most importantly, though, Kevin doesn't pick sides when it comes to hunting vs rec. He builds gear for BOTH groups of people because he IS both. You can find him hunting caribou in the wilds of Alaska just as well as you can find him on an ultralight desert hike along the CDT. One person, many interests. Imagine that!

That's what I love about Kevin. He's a straight shooter, well-rounded, and just so happens to make some awesome gear for backpacking and hunting.

This episode is one that I really enjoyed and I'm grateful to people like Kevin who are willing to keep it real.

Go give it a listen and let me know what you think! Links in my bio above!

P.S. The video version will be out shortly on YouTube!

A quick recap of my Alaskan fly in caribou hunt…

When we were about to fly in I was incredibly nervous, Having never really travelled by air my whole life I had a mindset that every time you went air borne some terrible thing would happen. Lucky for us the flight was incredibly smooth thanks to the pilots at 40 mile air.

We arrived at camp and got to meet up with our friends again, it was later in the evening so we set up camp and got to looking at the hills/mountains

For someone like me who has always hunted high country elk seeing caribou’s surrounding all the mountains was surreal, caribou are some of the most beautiful and majestic animals I have ever seen, that walk through extremely tough country, eating every step.

We were excited to say the least we had never seen this many animals in one place at a time, a long day of travel turned into tired eyes and excitement, we went to bed in the rain and wind, hopeful for better conditions in the morning

We awoke the next day, We hiked around the mountains near camp seeing animals all over but never being able to get close enough, even put a stalk on some crawling on the ground for 100’s of yards but blew it. Soaked to the bone due to socked in weather, we went back to camp and attempted to dry out, eat some food And make a plan.

A plan was made, hike up a steep drainage and hope to get close enough to some caribou we saw near the top of the mountain, as we began our ascent I looked across the valley to see a much easier plan, a mellow ascent to some caribou in a field, knowing that the depth perception of these animals isn’t great I put a stalk on for 1000 yards walking in a straight line, slowly. When I got to 280 yards I layed down, the bulI I was after was bedded down with his herd, after waiting what felt like an hr, my dad (about 200 yards back, started moving around eventually urging the caribou to stand up. The rest is an amazing memory of harvesting amazing food with my dad, and friends. I’m incredibly thankful to have experience this once in a lifetime trip, and it will provide me a memory that will last a lifetime.

Pffffftttt...I can’t contain my excitement...the Founder Speaker Series has over 115 people on the waitlist!!! That’s bonkers!

Why is this online event so freaking exciting? What’s all the hype about?

Well, I will tell you that if it weren’t for great mentors, my business @heatherschoice wouldn’t still be here today.

It was a friend and mentor who first dared me to give this thing a go.

It was another mentor who told me to launch my e-commerce site on Shopify instead of Wordpress back in the day (thank goodness...I didn’t know any better at the time).

It was my long time business mentor Dan who would sit me down when I’d run out of cash for the umpteenth time and say, “Well...how would you like to move forward?” He always poised the question as if I had a choice, to remind me that I always have options even when things felt SUPER dire.

As a way to help YOU build your business, I’ve recruited some of my favorite founders (and mentors) for this immersive online event. Think of it as business boot camp for anyone who has BIG dreams and aspirations!

Personally, I CAN’T WAIT to pick their brains on everything from fundraising to growing an audience to lead generation to product development and beyond! My list of questions is already a mile long.

If you’re one of the 100+ folks who saved your spot on the waitlist, leave me a comment below! I’d love to know who you are and to hear all about the business you’re building (or dreaming about starting).

The thing about long distance hiking, is breaking camp. You can find yourself in remote areas that are so plain but absolutely beautiful. I snapped this photo while I was hiking on the Continental Divide Trail in southern New México. I had the privilege to hike with an amazing man who is from Colorado name @ktoutside17. Amazing conversation & I learned alot about hiking gear from this hiker. We broke camp together. In the morning we brewed some coffee and hiked into Lordsburg, NM. The only thing that can go wrong when camping. Is not having a good sleeping pad & definitely a great sleeping bag. Comfort is a necessity. That's my very own opinion. I'm sure billions would agree lol.

A federal judge has ruled that COMMERCIAL FILM PERMITS NO LONGER REQUIRED to film in National Parks. As many of you know, I have been compelled by the federal government to remove my public land films and I have been prevented from sharing all of my fall elk and hunts from 2021. Existing commercial film laws are absolutely ridiculous, cost an exorbitant amount of money, and are written so broadly that the federal government can weaponize them to use against any individual they choose to target—the laws are a prime example of government overreach. So I am not surprised that a federal judge has just determined that commercial film laws violate our first amendment rights. A judge has issued a permanent injunction against the feds, preventing them from enforcing commercial film permits in National Parks. The judge stated if the federal govern is going to infringe on the 1st Amendment, they better have a damn good reason to justify their actions. She further stated that the current commercial filming laws ARE NOT narrowly defined and do not rise above the scrutiny of infringing upon the 1st Amendment. For more information, checkout the video link in my bio. In the meantime, I’m gonna start producing some fall hunting films 🤘🏼🎥🍿 #gritty
