BIG announcement from the Cutter Crew.

In Field Notes #1, Seth and Jake share what’s happening at Canvas Cutter and announce our Black Friday/Cyber Monday Grand Prize winner. We walk through exactly how we chose the winner: a random generator selected 10 orders, then we used another random draw to pick a top three, and finally our Grand Prize winner.

Thanks to everyone who supported Canvas Cutter during BFCM—more Field Notes updates coming soon.

2025 tested us. 2026 is where we level up.

In this Behind the Canvas episode, Seth, Schafer, Taylor, and Jake sit down for an honest look at what worked, what didn’t, and what we learned building Canvas Cutter through 2025. We cover the wins that gave us momentum, the setbacks that taught us hard lessons, and the changes we’re making moving forward.

Then we lay out what we’re focused on in 2026: upcoming product launches and pre-orders (including Saddle Bags, Panniers, and the Summit 3.0), bigger content plans and trips to grow our social channels, and how we’re planning to keep building The Cutter Cast into a show you don’t want to miss.

If you like the behind-the-scenes side of building rugged gear, chasing big goals, and doing it the right way—this one’s for you.

Question for you: What do you want to see from Canvas Cutter in 2026—products, content, or podcast topics?

In this episode of The Cutter Cast, Seth, Schafer, and Jake sit down and share the hunts that didn’t just fill tags — they changed who they are as hunters and as people.

Seth opens with the story of his first limited-entry elk hunt, a defining experience that shaped the way he hunts elk forever. Jake reflects on his first elk hunt in Wyoming at age twelve — a freezing, difficult, elk-less trip that still taught him lessons he carries today.

Schafer shares a key moment from his early hunting years: the first time he heard a bull bugle at close range during a hunt in a premium unit, and his first archery elk hunt in Utah that taught him the power of patience, persistence, and sticking with it even when things get tough. To close the episode, Seth shares lessons learned from Father Wisdom’s iconic mule deer hunt — a hunt that completely reshaped the way he hunts everything, especially mule deer. This episode is full of real stories, real emotions, and the pivotal moments that forged the Cutter Crew into the hunters they are today.If you’ve ever had a hunt that changed you, this one will hit home.--------------------------------------------------------------Check us out at:Website: https://canvascutter.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canvascutter/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canvascutter/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canvascutter
