This episode is about keeping sharp in the backcountry... literally. Special segments cover nutrition, endurance, the mental game, sleep habits, and more, but the primary topic is how to properly sharpen a hunting knife.  We discuss types of steel, types of sharpening stone, edge angles and retention, sharpening processes, and edge and blade maintenance.  ENJOY!    FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!  Join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe and get access to all our bonus material on www.patreon.com/backcountry VISIT OUR SPONSORS HERE:  www.barnesbullets.com www.leupold.com www.onxmaps.com www.timneytriggers.com www.silencercentral.com https://www.portersfirearms.com/ www.browning.com www.siembidacustomknives.com https://javelinbipod.com
