Aron is back, fresh out of the woods from the second half of his September Elk Season in the Cowboy State.  Aron went back in for Round 2, experiencing much the same as Round 1. Luckily, good friend Chris Horne arrived a few days later and they were able to seal the deal, and get Chris a bull during the start of the rifle season.  Seems like action is starting to pick up so hopefully Round 3 does the trick for Mr Snyder.We want to extend a somber reminder for listeners to do a Buddy Check this fall.  Aron lost a really good friend while he was hiking his way into this hunt.  So be proactive, make that call, you never know the impact you could make.  

Aron is solo on this episode as he recalls his recent trip after elk in Wyoming.  Alongside Chris Horne, and cameraman Levi Mayfield, they just spent 8 days in the Wyoming backcountry.  No success yet but ready for Round 2!!!

Aron welcomes Joe Gauvain and Ross Ellis from Drifter Hydration to the podcast.  Aron has hustorically not been a fan of the traditional water bladder systems, often prone to leaking and failure, which can lead to a number of issues from wet gear to the inability to store water at camp.  That was until he found the Drifter Hydration system.  If you combine all the key things from a nalgene, a bladder, and a filtration setup - you end up with arguably the most veratile system out there, the Drifter Hydration Lite System.  The boys talk about the journey and the future of Drifter Hydration, as well as share some of the key features that sets them apart from the competition.  Great time with Joe and Ross on this weeks episode of the Born Primitive Outdoor Podcast with Aron Snyder.
