Kairos Artisan Blends; David Rabe

Author: Sportsmen's Empire June 8, 2023 Duration: 1:08:35

On this Episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined again by David Rabe, a California native who takes everything to the next level.  His recreation is extreme, his hunts are for the biggest and the best, and his harvested wild game gets prepared with only herbs and spices that elevate his kill, not clog it with a bunch of additives.  Come along as Nick and Dave catch up on what has happened in the past year, How Kairos is the perfect rub to use on heavily valued harvests, Explains the idea of perfect moment, perfect place, and the meaning of Kairos, and finally finishes up with some incredible dish ideas.  It's all come this moment and this time on this episode of Huntavore.      

David Rabe is no stranger to the spice game.  David first launched Wilde Seasonings a few years back.  David sought out some partners to grow his brand and get high quality seasonings to home cooks and hunters who want only the best for what they are preparing.  Jiving with the term Kairos; the right critical moment, opportune timing.  Dave has relaunched his original blends along with others to try and cover as many proteins as possible.  Dave is also an accomplished hunter who strategizes the points game in the west.  On the spectrum of meat hunter to horn hunter, Dave is on the far edge of looking for mature animals in highly sought after units.  Which is part of the reason why Dave has spent so much time on these seasonings.  Not every season will bring back a trophy animal, so when he does, it gets the absolute best treatment possible.

There’s a particular satisfaction that comes from a meal you’ve pursued and prepared entirely yourself, a process that begins long before the kitchen. The Huntavore digs into that entire journey, from the field to the plate. Each conversation revolves around the practical realities of harvesting wild game, the careful art of butchering, and the countless ways to transform that protein into memorable food. You’ll hear from hunters, chefs, and everyday people who find a deeper connection to what they eat through this hands-on approach. This isn’t about trophies or boasting; it’s a grounded look at the skills, ethics, and simple joys involved in sourcing your own meat. The discussions are straightforward and relatable, focusing on technique, conservation, and a genuine respect for the natural world. Tune in for honest talk about failures and successes, favorite recipes for venison or waterfowl, and the quiet fulfillment found in this age-old practice. This podcast is for anyone curious about the full story behind wild game on the table, whether you’re an experienced hunter or just beginning to consider where your food originates. It’s a celebration of self-reliance, flavor, and the tangible results of time spent in the wilderness.
