464 | Aziak Equipment, Ultralight Tripods, and More with Rydell Reinbold
As a trained engineer and experienced outdoorsman, Rydell Reinbold often modified the gear he used for hunting. Then he started designing and producing his own gear, for his own needs. And, eventually, he founded Aziak Equipment to share his work with other hunters. Today, Rydell is the owner, designer, and sole operator at Aziak.
We speak with Rydell about the Aziak backstory, his current products, and the future of Aziak. We discuss his current ultralight tripod and head, the limitations of ultralight tripods, the balance of weight vs features, and much more.

Customer Reviews
outstanding wealth of knowledge for backcountry adventure
I discovered this podcast in September 2018, and I'm still working through the archive of older episodes. For hunting the backcountry, the wealth of knowledge from such a variety of guests just isn't available anywhere else. While waiting for whitetails in November, I was surprised and delighted to find a interview with Andrew Skurka and to learn that he is a hunter. Andrew is known for his long-distance backpacking, esp. a 5,000-mile trek across Alaska.
