The SPYPOINT Podcast is a place where we share stories and tips with some of the best hunters and people in the world. If you can do it in the wild outdoors, we’re talking about it, so you can be better, enjoy it more, and learn something along the way.

Sam Ayres of The Wild Initiative Podcast

It hasn’t always been The Wild Initiative, but when Sam Ayers picked up and moved from California to Montana, the old name didn’t seem to fit anymore. So, as Sam does, he made a change. Now, living outside of Havre, those who knew him 10 years ago would hardly recognize the podcast and knife-making empire he has built.

We cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. From getting settled in his new place to starting trapping, getting really into bladesmithing, and a lot more. Sam is one of the most unique and interesting people in the outdoor media space, so talking to him is always a pleasure. This is one you don’t want to miss!
