In this episode, I’m joined by Kurt Dillmann — founder of Walk’n’Stalk and the creator of the GAME-BAR®. I first came across Walk’n’Stalk after Kurt followed me on Instagram, and I was instantly drawn to the smart, rugged design of the GAME-BAR — a lightweight, compact, and incredibly versatile bit of gear that’s built to handle real hunting conditions without the bulk.
Kurt started Walk’n’Stalk with a simple mission: to build gear for hunters who do it the hard way — the right way. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just honest, field-tested gear that earns its place in your pack. Proudly based in Queensland, Walk’n’Stalk is more than a brand — it’s a mindset. It’s about moving with intent, reading sign, putting in the work, and lifting your game.
We dive into how the idea came about, what it took to bring the GAME-BAR to life, and what’s next for the brand that’s quickly becoming a must-know name in the Aussie hunting scene.

Welcome to Episode 100!
Nearly four years into the podcast, and what a journey it’s been! I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, and supported the podcast along the way—it truly means the world.
For this special milestone episode, I’m joined by two of my favourite people from the outdoor recreation community: Carly from Victorians Against the Great Forest National Park and Marcus (aka Oz Camper) from Bush Culture. Both have had a big year since they were last on—Marcus has been dealing with a broken back, sharing spooky stories, and continuing his adventures with Bush Culture, while Carly’s been flat-out with national park advocacy, Clean Up Australia Day, copping hate from greenies, and plenty of laughs in between.
Make sure you check out their pages and stick around ‘til the end for some AI-generated songs 🤖😂
Once again, thank you all for the love and support over these first 100 episodes. Here’s to the next hundred!

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined in the studio by Daniel Pedler (@pedds_66 on Instagram). Daniel has been a long-time listener, and after my recent trip to New Zealand, he reached out asking for a recommendation for a guide. After some conversations with Jurgen, Daniel was keen to jump into a free-range backpack hunt — so I connected the two of them. This year, Daniel finally made it over for his hunt with Jurgen. Sit back and enjoy hearing the story of his first New Zealand tahr adventure!

We dive into each of these methods, the importance of what they do, and how they got started — thanks to a tip-off from Patrick at the Australian Recreation Union.

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I’m joined by Patrick from the Australian Recreation Union (ARU). The ARU was founded after existing organisations chose to focus on their individual pursuits rather than uniting against common challenges. For decades, recreational activities like shooting, fishing, 4WDing, riding, camping, and fossicking have been under constant threat from increasing legislation and land access restrictions.
Patrick shares how he and a dedicated group of individuals formed the ARU to bring these communities together, standing stronger in the fight against lockouts and overregulation. If you value your outdoor lifestyle, now’s the time to get involved—just like I did right after recording this episode!
