You get Christian Schauf.\nIn this episode, we go far beyond the typical founder story. From recording with Prince to launching survival kits that save lives, Christian opens up about what drives him: faith, fitness, hunting, entrepreneurship—and doing something meaningful with this short time we’re given. We talk about moose hunting in BC, building gear that’s actually reliable when things go sideways, learning from failure, and the mindset needed to push forward when most people quit.\nWhether you’re into the outdoors, business, or just trying to live a more intentional life, this one’s for you.\n\nhttps://unchartedsupplyco.com/\n \nhttps://www.instagram.com/unchartedsupplyco\nhttps://www.instagram.com/christianschauf\n \n______\nSilvercore Club - https://bit.ly/2RiREb4 \nOnline Training - https://bit.ly/3nJKx7U \nOther Training & Services - https://bit.ly/3vw6kSU \nMerchandise - https://bit.ly/3ecyvk9 \nBlog Page - https://bit.ly/3nEHs8W \nHost Instagram - @Bader.Trav https://www.instagram.com/bader.trav\nSilvercore Instagram - @SilvercoreOutdoors https://www.instagram.com/silvercoreoutdoors\n____\n \n\n\n00:00 – Podcast intro, Silvercore Club mention, and Christian’s bio\n\n\n01:15 – How Christian came onto Travis’s radar: Half Face Blades and pack rafts\n\n\n03:00 – Origin of the pack raft: military request, product design challenges\n\n\n04:30 – Material development, Outdoor Retailer debut, slow early adoption\n\n\n05:00 – Rafts used for hauling moose in Yukon and Alaska\n\n\n07:00 – Living near elk and moose in Idaho/Park City, gratitude for the outdoors\n\n\n08:00 – Reflection on time, legacy, and trying to do something meaningful\n\n\n09:00 – Balancing ambition and faith; feeling overwhelmed; personal introspection\n\n\n09:30 – Touring Iraq with a band, 39 trips for troop entertainment\n\n\n12:26 – Using Prince’s sound guy,...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/B8WTW1_pTQK-2h9DfU1TlgOqrgcmMPFrunfof0Y4JM8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZDM3/YzE1NjU0ZjU4YzY3/ODljOTE3YzY0ZTlj/MmVhZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
