When it comes to training gear, the most important variable I consider is versatility. If I can find a piece of gear, equipment, or a nutritional supplement or product that’s as valuable for training as it is for hunting, I’m a happy customer.

B.C’s goat population, though not studied heavily, is estimated at approximately 50’000 animals—half of the world population. The remaining goats in North America are spread out across the western United States, Alaska, Yukon Territory, and the Northwest Territories. If the mountains of British Columbia are the kingdom of the mountain goat, then surely the Coast Range is their stronghold.

On this show, Adam is joined by Steve Opat, a true International Man of Mystery, with the beard to prove it, and a hell of a great dude. Steve is a Field Editor with us at the Journal of Mountain Hunting, calls Alaska home, and spends a ton of time in the field. Overall, this guy is one of the most passionate hunters and writers you’ll ever have the good fortune of spending time with.

On this episode, Adam is joined by Caylen Wojcik, a man that wears many hats. He is the founder and owner of Kalinski Consulting as well as a key member of the Gunwerks training and education cadre where he holds the title of Director of Training.

In this quick hit gear-focused episode, Adam reviews and shares his favorite training gear from 2018. If you like versatile gear, train outdoors or at home (or would like to start doing so), you’ll want to listen to this one.

This our first crack at an “Ask Us Anything” style episode. It won’t be our last. Thanks to everyone that submitted questions. If, after listening to this show, you’d like to submit your own question for consideration, please send to info@journalofmountainhunting.com.

They had no way of knowing the role they would play in the population of their species throughout the region, but those first sheep, along with the ranchers and eventually hunters who helped facilitate them, set the groundwork for what would later become a thriving business for landowners and hunting guides in West Texas. There’s a lot going on in that 8x12 oak frame.

As we made our way down, two wolves were howling in the valley below. It was really eerie to hear the howls echo in the valley as we marched my trophy off the mountain, but it certainly added to the moment.

I want to systematically explore air pressure topics so that we all have common nomenclature and a basic understanding of measurement and reporting systems.  We will start with a general discussion of air pressure, definition of terms, measurement devices, and then finish with some alternative ways to use pressure data when calculating ballistics.
