Every once in a while you meet someone who’s built something not in a boardroom, but in the places where it actually gets used.

This week’s guest is Don Goode, founder of Backcountry Bistro, a company that started with one simple goal: make freeze-dried meals that hunters and outdoorsmen actually look forward to eating after a long day in the outdoors.

What started as an idea while in the backcountry of Alaska has grown into a business serving hunters across the country, but the mission hasn’t changed.

We talk about his family’s recent move to Washington State, the opportunities and challenges that come with starting over in a new place, and we dive into some classic Alaska backcountry hunting stories that every hunter can appreciate.

Then, in true hunting fashion, plans changed at the last minute. Just before this episode aired, Don found himself boarding a plane back to Alaska—not to work, but to hand-deliver meals to a remote hunt camp before joining a caribou hunt of his own.

That meant trading the Washington bear hunt we talked about for another unforgettable Alaskan adventure.

If you’re getting ready for hunting season, Don also has a limited run of Backcountry Bistro meals available right now while supplies last, with more inventory on the way as the season progresses.

Whether you’re planning an elk hunt out West, dreaming about Alaska, or just looking for better camp food this fall, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

So settle in, turn the volume up, and join us for another great conversation right here on the Under Pressure Outdoors Podcast.
