Gear Priority Podcast

Run by Justin Hedrick of the Justin Outdoors YouTube channel, Gear Priority Podcast is built around a simple premise: when your budget and time are limited, which pieces of hunting gear actually deserve your money first? Justin spent years as a software engineer before turning his side hobby of whitetail hunting content into a full-time pursuit, and that analytical mindset shows up throughout the show. Episodes feature interviews with founders of brands like Tethrd, Latitude, and Exodus, as well as independent hunters and content creators who've tested gear across dozens of states. Conversations tend to run long and unhurried, touching on saddle hunting systems, camera arm setups, mobile hunting kits, boots, layering strategies, and the logistics of traveling for public land hunts. Justin is refreshingly candid about what's worked and what hasn't in his own kit, and he pushes guests to explain the reasoning behind product design choices rather than recite features. The show leans practical over promotional, making it a good fit for hunters trying to get the most from a modest gear budget or anyone curious about the newer generation of lightweight mobile hunting equipment that's reshaped the whitetail space over the last few years.
