Intensive Product Testing and Dark Secrets

Intensive Product Testing and Dark Secrets

Author: Randy Newberg August 29, 2022 Duration: 1:47:10
In this episode (194) of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy invites John Barklow, lead designer for Sitka Gear, and Tyler Johnerson, Randy's former camera guy and amazing hunter, for a discussion about how product testing works for high performance products.  We all benefit from these intensive testing processes, yet we seldom get to hear how it works, when it succeeds, and when it is time to go back to the drawing board. John and Tyler talk about the many products John has designed for Tyler to test and the process used to improve the Sitka Jetstream Jacket that launched this summer. Many hunting stories get told along the way, explaining the tough conditions that brought about a new idea. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Step into the world of Hunt Talk Radio with host Randy Newberg for conversations that go far beyond the trophy. This is a podcast rooted in the reality of public land hunting, where the politics of conservation, access debates, and the gritty how-to of wilderness pursuit are all on the table. Randy connects with seasoned hunters whose names might not be famous but whose experience is profound, pulling questions directly from the community's own Hunt Talk forum to drive the discussion. You'll hear practical tactics dissected, hard-won perspectives shared, and the complex relationship between hunters, wildlife, and habitat explored without filter. It’s a blend of education, sportsmanship, and advocacy, often venturing into the nuanced corners of the lifestyle that you won't find in mainstream outdoor media. Listen for an authentic, deep-diving dialogue that respects the tradition while tackling its modern challenges, all through the unfiltered voice of Randy Newberg and the guests who live this life.
