On this episode of First Harvest, Josh and Aaron get real about the gear that actually earns its keep in the field. From gloves, socks, boots, and binoculars to packs, stools, waders, and even toilet paper, they break down what’s worth spending on, what’s overrated, and what really matters when you’re hunting in different environments.

With plenty of laughs and a few hard-earned lessons, this conversation covers everything from budget-friendly starter gear to the pieces they keep coming back to season after season. If you’re looking for practical hunting gear advice with a laid-back campfire feel, this one’s for you.

Every Hunting season starts long before opening morning.

In this campfire conversation, we kick back and talk about what preseason really looks like-from checking gear and getting organized to why squirrel hunting is one of the best ways to shake off the offseason and sharpen your skills before deer season arrives.

Whether you're a seasoned hunter or getting ready for your very first season, we share stories, lessons we've learned, and a few mistakes we've made along the way. No lectures, no gatekeeping-just an honest conversation about preparing for the season ahead and enjoying the process.

So grab a cup of coffee or something stronger, pull up a chair around the campfire, and join us as we talk preseason prep, squirrel hunting, an why some of the best memories in the outdoors happen long before opening day.

Remember, Everyone starts somewhere. Welcome to First Harvest.

You don't need a family tradition, expensive gear, or years of experience to enjoy hunting and fishing. You just need the courage to take the first step.
