We sit down with Kurt Belding of Western Obsessions TV to talk about betting on yourself, building a life around western hunting, and what “burn the ships” looks like when the money runs out. Kurt also breaks down the mental side of backcountry hunting, the gear choices that prevent disasters, and the moments in Alaska that change how you think forever.
