What happened to kifarucast?

[Trial153]

It's one of the few podcasts that I like. Enough so that i listen to it regularly. Aron has always been a straight shooter, text or phone he always been responsive to me when I reached out. Good guy in my book.

Listened to a couple of the first ones and it wasnt my favorite but after reading this thread seems like I should give it a go again.

The one they just did with Joel Turner on the psychological (my term) side of the shot was really good. Aron knows enough about shooting to ask the right questions and push for clarification. and seems he doesn't totally agree with everything Joel teaches. Made for a good podcast.

I subscribe to too many podcasts...I'm just getting through the last couple of November podcasts and I have about a 1 to 1.5 hour round-trip commute every day. This thread coming back up right now is funny because I JUST finished the Kifarucast with Robby where they talked about this exact thread!

I've started to cut podcasts out that don't appeal to me: Gritty Bowmen and the BRO podcasts just do not appeal to me anymore for various reasons. My favorites, in order are Kifaru, Meateater, and Newberg (both hunt talk and his elk podcast with CJ). I like podcasts with personality, and I enjoy listening to those guys talk and if I learn something, which I often do, that's just icing on the cake.

I have done the same. I like Newbergs stuff and Meateater. I cherry pick Hunt Back Country and Shoot n the Bull. SnB has some hilarious episodes.

I try and do that as much as I can.

Exactly, that's one thing I really admire about Kifarucast, the lack of know-it-all BS!

I loaded a few episodes just based on the comment that Aron has done a lot for Trad Archery in the past few years. I dabble in Trad but hadn't heard mention of Aron in that context.

I run into the same issues with vulgarity that were mentioned earlier with a few podcasts. I have pre-teens and a wife so family friendly delivery of information and ideas gets more airtime.

Holy crap. It must be the offseason. Go build some arrows or workout or something folks.

I find it odd whenever someone complains about language in a podcast. Can you not just put some head phones on? Podcasts are usually something I listen to alone anyways.

Kifarucast is my favorite podcast, I get that the language can bother some but it doesn’t me. I like the brutal honesty and the podcast is a great mix of comedy and education. Same reason I enjoy Shoot-n the bull, entertaining.

 

[cmahoney]

One of my favorites too, I just wish they would have on the modernhuntsman.

Maybe its my faith, maybe its me being a father of 2 girls or maybe a combination of both, but I tend to shy away from incessant foul language. That being said, Kifarucast is one of my favorite podcasts. I prefer to listen to people speaking what they feel is the truth over guys who give a filtered message due to sponsorships or toeing company line. Aron's confidence and bluntness is often mistaken for arrogance. I'll take the guy who says what he believes and means, crassness and all, over a guy who says what he is told to say. Also....how many guys that have as many things on their plate as Aron post their number on forums for people to call or text if they have an issue? He's a good dude in my book and I'd share a camp with him anytime.

I enjoy the podcast. The lack of pushing sponsor products is refreshing. While I enjoy other podcasts such as Randy Newberg’s, before he ever begins I know he’ll plug SITKA, Kenetrek and Leupold so suggestions about them don’t mean much to me. I do think Aron could focus a bit more on the guest’s message and less on conveying what he knows, but it’s a minor point.

You forgot GoHunt, OnXMaps, and Orion Coolers. Don't forget to use promo code Randy. That's R-A-N-D-Y, for promo code Randy.

All kidding aside, I listen to his enough to have his intro about memorized. I enjoy listening to both of the ones he puts out, but Kifarucast is still my favorite. They tell it like it is.

Kifarucast absolutely does push their sponsor... I mean it's even in the name. lol

They just have a single sponsor, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I totally read that in Randy's voice in my head..lol

Valid point! I guess I should say they don’t push most products when talking hunting gear... Though he does occasionally recommend competing non-Kifaru products. They’re both good to listen too, I just get different things from them.

 

[HookUp]

They push they hell out of trad archery, while doing a good job of covering everything else. I wish they would talk about their products from time to time, like the new bags.

I do get where you are coming from, it seems more forced when a lot of other podcasts do it. At least Randy has been consistent with his sponsors and isn't flip flopping between different "best gear evar!" every few months...

I dont mind when they have sponsors but I really appreciate when they are honest on who sponsors them and they do their pitch in a thoughtful way. I like that Randy and Rinella both do theirs at the beginning, and towards to middle but you know its time for sponsor talk. I hate it when they try to sneak them in and it doesnt work.
