In this episode, we get gear-centric, and discuss the essential products for the Upland Hunter. I also define the Orvis assortment of the Five Essential Upland Products and dig in deeper on the gear requirements of different cover types and regions. I may even offer a few teasers about new hunting gear to look forward to in the coming months.

Just listened to your podcast and enjoyed it – as always good stuff. I do have one beef – which pretty much prevents me from buying any Orvis upland gear. It is great quality stuff – but why on earth do you not offer a full blaze orange coat and vest? Why just slap the minimum blaze on the product? If someone else is out hunting for a fashion shoot, that is fine – but I’m out to hunt birds and not get beaned. Knowing where your partners are at all times is a safety issue and full blaze is the only way to go. Please make safety at least an option. Thanks, and sorry to be a crank.
Reid,
Great podcast. I really like your work, especially your essays in Mouthful of Feathers. I’ve been in that very guide-shack you wrote wrote about in “Weather”, and you captured the dynamic between clients and guides perfectly.
One improvement suggestion on the podcast. This may be mostly my issue because I listen directly on a device speaker without Bluetooth, but it would be great if the audio quality were better. To my ear your voice often trails off toward the end of a sentence, and I have a tough time hearing everything you are saying. One guy’s opinion.
Thanks to you and Orvis for bringing the hunting podcast back.
Love the sharptail pants. Lament the loss of the sharptail gloves.
