Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) welcomes Casey Harver, Chief Operating Officer of Kodiak Big Timber Lodge and founder of Kodiak Survival School to Hunting Matters, HSCF’s official podcast.

In this episode, Harver shares stories and insights from his life on the rugged Alaskan frontier, where he manages one of the state’s premier wilderness lodges and trains clients in survival, preparedness, and ethical hunting. He discusses the unique challenges of hunting Kodiak brown bears, mountain goats, Sitka blacktail deer, and more — as well as the logistics of operating off-grid in one of North America’s most remote and unpredictable environments.

Listeners will also learn about Harver’s approach to survival education through Kodiak Survival School, his extensive field experience, and his use of high-performance gear like FORLOH in extreme conditions.

Listeners can tune into Hunting Matters on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio. For more information and to access past episodes, visit Hunting Matters.
