Sometimes we forget what it's like to be new to something. As we progress in our work, life, or hobby, it's natural that we lose track of where we came from and what it was like to have no idea where to even begin something new.

Josh Kirchner runs an amazing website at www.dialedinhunter.com where he documents his journey in hunting. After years of trial and error, Josh has now introduced backpack hunting into the mix, however contrary to what you might think, he didn't grow up backpacking.

Like most of us, Josh took the hard route into backpack hunting. He had to learn on his own and work up to bigger and bigger trips. Looking back now, he's thankful he jumped in head first, but to say it was easy would a lie.

On this episode of The By Land Podcast, Josh and I talk about what it was like starting out backpacking and backpack hunting. We discuss the basics of how it all works and share our individual stories of where we came from and how far we've come.

This episode is all about learning the basics of backpack hunting. It's a raw and real discussion about lessons learned. If you're looking to start a new hobby like backpack hunting, give this episode a listen. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation with Josh.

By Land,

Emory Ronald
