What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love listening to this podcast each week. Not only does it dive into the hunting world, but also just solid content for life in itself. Refreshing to listen to something that dives deep, thoughtfully curated, and leaves me wanting another episode to apply those tid bits to general life.

MacWes22 · Feb 2026

The Mountain Dude Podcast quickly rose to the top of my list! Although I don’t live out west, never hunted Elk or Grizzlies ~ the knowledge they share is still relevant. And it’s ALL good stuff. The hosts & guests always share some little tidbit I truly enjoy. On a side note, the “new gear” latest release showcasing the “Scout Pack” will resonate with those of us who chase white tails & black bears in Appalachia. Your market just broadened. Just go ahead & put me down for one💪🏼 Keep up the strong work gentlemen!

BRoweKY · Feb 2026

I recently found myself needing a new pack in the middle of an elk and deer hunt. I swung into a local scheels and picked up an IA 5k and proceeded to pack out quite a handful of crittters. I absolutely loved the way the pack handled the weight! One thing that bugged me though, is it started squeaking enough to be annoying. Fast forward to sheep show after completing the tough sheep competition I swung into the booth to address the noise. In short order the pack was loaded up and several people were working on proper fit and addressing the noise. Very quickly not only was the squeak gone but my pack fit was far better than I could do myself. Long story longer thank you to everyone at initial ascent and scheels for your incredible customer service! Keep doing what you guys are doing, love the podcast, cheers!

This podcast is amazing. Listen to every drop. The way they open the podcast with a prayer, the stories they tell, the people they interview, and the way they point everything back to God. It is an amazing podcast and always a bright spot for me when an episode drops. Give this pod a listen. It is always full of gold and encouragement!
