Brad Brooks

Brad is a Idahoin family man who craves time in outdoors. Like many he started with little gear and knowledge and forged a path to sucess in the mountains. He is passionate about sharing his adventures on Youtube. All of his work is fantastic but, I consider his video of his Frank Church Wilderness to trully capture all the facets of backcountry hunting. Bard is a owner in Argali Outdoors which are making some incrdibly lightweight backcountry tents. Well worth a look at. Thanks for listening. Dave

Brad Brooks is no stranger to backwoods adventures and he and Travis recount several exciting trips they had this last season. From Alaska, Yukon, and remote northern BC, to Hawaii and Greece there are plenty of fun stories and learning experiences shared in this podcast.   Between juggling a family, his business and his need to be out in nature, Brad has also been able to create an amazing new line of backcountry gear ranging from game bags and knives to rugged lightweight tents.   If you want to see Brad in action, you are in luck.  He started as a media company producing amazing backcountry and hunting videos and has continued in that tradition by bringing along his camera on his recent adventures.  Check out the links below.  https://www.youtube.com/c/Argali https://www.instagram.com/argali_official/ https://www.instagram.com/bradabrooks/ https://argalioutdoors.com ______ Silvercore Club - https://bit.ly/2RiREb4 Online Training - https://bit.ly/3nJKx7U Other Training & Services - https://bit.ly/3vw6kSU Merchandise - https://bit.ly/3ecyvk9 Blog Page - https://bit.ly/3nEHs8W Host Instagram - @Bader.Trav - https://www.instagram.com/bader.trav Silvercore Instagram - @Silvercoreinc - https://www.instagram.com/silvercoreinc ____

Brad Brooks had an epic 2021. He hunted axis deer and spearfished in Maui, then spent 5 weeks in Alaska chasing moose, caribou, and blacktail with a bow. Brad is the co-founder and owner of Argali, a company that makes high quality gear designed by and for backcountry hunters. There’s a lot of adventure to be had in Brad’s line of work, as he explores and hunts some truly wild places. In this episode, Brad and I swap some adventurous stories this year has brought. We also get into the weeds a bit with some philosophical questions: why do we bow hunt? Is our deep connection to archery more with the arrow than the bow? And, do we actually love the animals we hunt, or just the way that they make us feel? On InstagramBrad BrooksArgaliargalioutdoors.comArgali on Youtube
