In this episode of Nickals and Dimes, Bo and Tony sit down with Brendan Burns — a world-class hunter, gear innovator, and one of the key figures behind Kuiu. Brendan kicks things off by sharing stories from his college days and how he first got involved with Kuiu, eventually helping design some of the brand’s very first products. From there, the guys dive into wild stories about the challenges and lessons learned out in the wilderness. They also break down some of Brendan’s most nerve-wracking hunts, his best hunting trip ever, and what it’s like to chase a bear on the very last day of a hunt. Brendan shares deep insight into the mindset needed to succeed as a hunter, his future goals in the outdoors, and how the hunting culture has evolved in recent years.
