I’ve been in a lot of wild places chasing some of the planet’s most elusive predators—but this might be the most intense adventure yet. In this episode of Endless Venture, my good friend and local tracker Rajan Chaudhary and I head deep into the jungles of Nepal—on foot—into one of the most tiger-dense (and deadliest) regions in the world. Over the last three years, 63 people have been killed by tigers in this area. This is man-eater country. What unfolds is a heart-pounding journey: – A close encounter with a rhino that catches us off guard – Tense moments with tigers just out of view – A chilling roar from an angry tigress that sends adrenaline through the roof – And the discovery of a fresh stag carcass We set up remote cameras at the site and, unbelievably, captured intimate footage of the tiger family just minutes before we returned to collect the gear. This is real, raw, and wild—and it’s exactly why we started Endless Venture. Subscribe and stay tuned for more!

As someone who’s spent decades working alongside and studying bears in the wild, I’ve had more than a few close calls. One question I get all the time is: “What’s better for bear defense—bear spray or a pistol?” In this episode of Endless Venture, I team up with my good friend Justin Rasmussen from Razco Gear. Justin’s not only an expert in firearms and backcountry carry systems—he’s also spent years in bear country and knows what it takes to stay safe when things get real. Together, we put both bear spray and pistols to the test in real-world simulations: We test multiple brands of bear spray for range, coverage, and deployment speed. We go head-to-head with a drone flying at 33 mph—the same speed as a charging grizzly—to test our reaction time with both spray and pistol. We shoot at a moving target bouncing down a hill at us, simulating the chaos of an actual bear charge. We break down the pros and cons of both tools—talking through the science, the practicality, and the responsibility that comes with carrying either one. This isn’t about pushing one method over the other. It’s about helping you make an informed decision when you head into bear country. So… what are you going to carry? Bear spray? A sidearm? Both? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
