In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I sit down with Dan Adler, a U.S. Air Force veteran and founder of Diamond Outfitters—the largest full-time outfitting service in North America. Dan and his all-veteran team guide big game hunts across over 30 million acres in the Southwest and Sonora, Mexico.

With decades of experience, Dan is also the mind behind Zero Outfitter Fees, a program making quality guided hunts more accessible to everyday hunters. He’s a former host of The Best of the West, Safari Club International’s 2017 Hunter of the Year, and a true advocate for conservation, patriotism, and preserving hunting heritage.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kurt Dillmann — founder of Walk’n’Stalk and the creator of the GAME-BAR®. I first came across Walk’n’Stalk after Kurt followed me on Instagram, and I was instantly drawn to the smart, rugged design of the GAME-BAR — a lightweight, compact, and incredibly versatile bit of gear that’s built to handle real hunting conditions without the bulk.

Kurt started Walk’n’Stalk with a simple mission: to build gear for hunters who do it the hard way — the right way. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just honest, field-tested gear that earns its place in your pack. Proudly based in Queensland, Walk’n’Stalk is more than a brand — it’s a mindset. It’s about moving with intent, reading sign, putting in the work, and lifting your game.

We dive into how the idea came about, what it took to bring the GAME-BAR to life, and what’s next for the brand that’s quickly becoming a must-know name in the Aussie hunting scene.

Welcome to Episode 100!

Nearly four years into the podcast, and what a journey it’s been! I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, and supported the podcast along the way—it truly means the world.

For this special milestone episode, I’m joined by two of my favourite people from the outdoor recreation community: Carly from Victorians Against the Great Forest National Park and Marcus (aka Oz Camper) from Bush Culture. Both have had a big year since they were last on—Marcus has been dealing with a broken back, sharing spooky stories, and continuing his adventures with Bush Culture, while Carly’s been flat-out with national park advocacy, Clean Up Australia Day, copping hate from greenies, and plenty of laughs in between.

Make sure you check out their pages and stick around ‘til the end for some AI-generated songs 🤖😂

Once again, thank you all for the love and support over these first 100 episodes. Here’s to the next hundred!
