EP. 085 — Last Chance Moose
What started as a dream moose hunt deep in the Canadian wilderness quickly turned into one of the wildest survival stories we’ve ever heard. On this episode, the boys sit down with four hunters fresh off an absolute chaos-filled backcountry adventure that tested their grit, friendships, and ability to adapt when literally everything went wrong.
From busted trailers before the trip even started, to forgotten fuel and food, to freezing portages through slush and ice — this hunt became a full-on battle against the wilderness. Add in dangerous rapids, gear failures, brutal weather, and multiple grizzly encounters that still haunt the crew, and you’ve got a story that feels more like a survival movie than a hunting trip.
But somehow… through all the chaos, the boys managed to get it done and harvest a moose.
In this episode we dive into:
- Near-disaster moments navigating rapids and icy crossings
- Intense grizzly bear encounters that changed the tone of the trip instantly
- The brutal physical and mental grind of hauling gear and meat through freezing conditions
- Equipment failures, hard lessons, and survival decisions made on the fly
- The brotherhood forged through stress, suffering, and shared adventure
- Why hunts like this become stories you’ll tell for the rest of your life
This one is raw, hilarious, intense, and packed full of the kind of real backcountry chaos that every hunter secretly craves and fears at the same time. Whether you’re into hunting, wilderness survival, or just hearing what happens when regular guys push themselves way beyond their comfort zone — this episode delivers.
Huge thanks to the crew for coming on and sharing the full story behind the adventure.
