Clay Newcomb sits down with Steve Rinella and Janis Putelis of MeatEater in Bozeman, Montana for a rare-form conversation. Most people already know about their hunting styles, gear and stories because of the vast amount of media these two have produced, so we didn't bother talking about it. We talked about how Steve and Janis met and about the stresses along the journey of building MeatEater. Steve talks about what it takes to be successful and how they plan to keep on doing it. They also answer questions like "are you a jerk behind the scenes" and "are you nice to your wife?" Hear it straight from the horses' mouth.
