**BONUS POD** In this special and emotional episode, Dan sits down with Tyler Denim—firefighter, bowhunter, and close friend of ElkShape—for a raw debrief following the recent Coeur d’Alene fire tragedy, where two firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty. After filming a light-hearted episode together, Tyler was one of the first on scene responding to that devastating call. This conversation goes beyond hunting—it’s about the weight of the job, the impact of loss, and the role of faith, family, and purpose when life suddenly hits harder than expected. We also talk about how Tyler’s experience as a firefighter shapes his perspective on training, preparation, and living with intention—not just in the backcountry, but at home, with the people who matter most. This is a sobering episode—but one we believe every hunter, husband, father, and first responder needs to hear. @elkshape @elkshapegear @djfalconnn 💢 Discount Codes 💢   BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠ PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠ VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ BLACK OVIS | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠ MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠ DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠ GORUCK | LINK TO ⁠⁠SHOP⁠⁠ BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠   🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - ⁠⁠SONY A1 BODY⁠⁠ B CAM - ⁠⁠SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS⁠⁠ SONY ⁠⁠LONG LENS 70-200MM⁠⁠ WIRELESS ⁠⁠DJI MIC 2⁠⁠ STUDIO LENS ⁠⁠24-70MM ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DJI DRONE ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DJI ACTION 4⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
