Elk Don't EXIST with Dillon Deitz
Today on the "Elk Don't Exist" podcast, we’re sitting down with Dylan Deitz to hear the story behind the brand and the road that brought him here. Not long ago, Dylan was battling severe mental health struggles and thoughts of ending it all. Through therapy, purpose, and a complete shift in direction, he’s rebuilt his life through digital content creation, hunting, and introducing new hunters to the outdoors for the very first time.This episode goes deep. Dylan shares unbelievable spring bear hunting stories, predator calling encounters, and one of the most intense moments imaginable — a near-fatal encounter with a Montana wolf that still has him emotional while retelling it. It’s raw, honest, and a reminder that sometimes the outdoors can help pull people out of some very dark places.Dylan is the real deal, and I can’t wait for you all to get to know him better.

From Garage Startup to Industry GIANT | Marsupial Gear’s Story
Today Dan is podcasting live from Marsupial Gear HQ in Phoenix with founder Jim Graham. What started just before Covid as a small operation in Jim’s garage — sewing bino chest packs and selling them out of the back of his car — has evolved into one of the most recognizable made-in-America hunting brands in the industry. Jim shares the behind-the-scenes story of the sacrifices, risks, and relentless work ethic it took to build the company from the ground up. Fast forward to today and Marsupial now operates out of its own warehouse, is expanding for continued growth, and employs more than 35 full-time sowers proudly manufacturing products right here in the USA. This episode dives into entrepreneurship, hunting culture, customer service, product development, and why Jim has always refused to cut corners when it comes to quality and standing behind the gear carrying the Marsupial name. After listening, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of where the company came from, what it took to get there, and where they’re headed next. 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT OLLIN | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://ollin.co/collections/snapshot DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3P5x3BY BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 - https://blackriflecoffeecompany.pxf.io/9LnW0E FOUNDATION OURDOORS | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://www.foundation-outdoors.com/?sca_ref=10392320.yNY8hl6qQLCpq TRICER GEAR | 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE ============================= 📱 Subscribe and Listen to the The ElkShape Podcast HERE: ============================= Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/elkshape/id1315352438 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EplB7OPWM5HcsT2c0HzEv ============================= This Video was Filmed Using: ============================= AMAZON STORE 👉 https://www.amazon.com/shop/elkshape?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_X57159T6BSR8HN6Z3T3W A CAM - SONY A1 BODY ➡️ https://amzn.to/3wLZLBW B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS ➡️ https://amzn.to/3InUGST SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/433SXLW WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 ➡️ https://amzn.to/3uYPku5 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/3PbhZD8 DJI DRONE ➡️ https://amzn.to/3TqrAZo DJI ACTION 4 ➡️ https://amzn.to/49FDPXA HEADPHONES ➡️ https://amzn.to/4bwRa6c ============================= We are selling hard work!

Discussing HIGH INTENSITY vs. LOW INTENSITY for the Mountains
Today’s episode is all about fitness for the mountains—and why it’s not optional if you’re serious about chasing elk in the backcountry.Dan breaks down how mountain fitness goes far beyond looking good or lifting heavy… it’s about durability, grit, and showing up when it matters most. From grinding up steep elevations with a pack on your back, to staying sharp when you’re smoked, this is the kind of fitness that directly translates to punching tags.He shares what’s working right now in his own training, how he prepares his body for long seasons in unforgiving terrain, and why being in shape isn’t just about success—it’s about respecting the opportunity.If you’ve ever hit the mountains and felt underprepared… or you’re looking to level up your edge this fall—this one’s for you.Separation is in the preparation.https://versahooks.com/ 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT OLLIN | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://ollin.co/collections/snapshot DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3P5x3BY BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 - https://blackriflecoffeecompany.pxf.io/9LnW0E FOUNDATION OURDOORS | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://www.foundation-outdoors.com/?sca_ref=10392320.yNY8hl6qQLCpq TRICER GEAR | 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE ============================= 📱 Subscribe and Listen to the The ElkShape Podcast HERE: ============================= Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/elkshape/id1315352438 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EplB7OPWM5HcsT2c0HzEv ============================= This Video was Filmed Using: ============================= AMAZON STORE 👉 https://www.amazon.com/shop/elkshape?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_X57159T6BSR8HN6Z3T3W A CAM - SONY A1 BODY ➡️ https://amzn.to/3wLZLBW B CAM - SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS ➡️ https://amzn.to/3InUGST SONY LONG LENS 70-200MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/433SXLW WIRELESS DJI MIC 2 ➡️ https://amzn.to/3uYPku5 STUDIO LENS 24-70MM ➡️ https://amzn.to/3PbhZD8 DJI DRONE ➡️ https://amzn.to/3TqrAZo DJI ACTION 4 ➡️ https://amzn.to/49FDPXA HEADPHONES ➡️ https://amzn.to/4bwRa6c ============================= We are selling hard work!
