In Episode 214, I’m joined by Mike Defeo, the founder of Huto Lifestyle — a brand that's quickly making a name for itself in the backcountry hunting world. We dig into the story behind Huto, what inspired Mike to rethink essential gear and how serious field testing plays a huge role in their product design. Mike also opens up about his personal hunting background and shares his favorite setups for early season mule deer and elk hunts. If you’re gearing up for your next backcountry trip or just want to hear from someone who's building gear by hunters, for hunters, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
