From NFL to Wilderness Pack Outs: Jarret Johnson’s Alaskan Adventure

EP 657: Jarret Johnson Alaskan Caribou  This week on The Rich Outdoors, I’m excited to welcome back retired NFL linebacker Jarret Johnson. In this episode, Jarret recounts his epic Alaska adventure from this year, sharing insights into his newfound passion for western big game hunting—a pursuit he didn’t have time for while playing in the league. Jarret discusses the physical challenges he faced during his hunt, emphasizing how even being in great shape couldn’t fully prepare him for the steep mountains of Alaska. He shares the intense experience of carrying half a caribou on his back and the valuable lessons learned from being pushed out of his comfort zone.
