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

It’s Christmas time on The Cutter Cast, and the crew is back with another festive Draft Day episode — this time we’re drafting the best Christmas movies of all time.

Seth, Schafer, Taylor, and Jake battle it out in a four-round Christmas Movie Draft, choosing from holiday classics, animated favorites, comedies, nostalgic throwbacks, and even a few controversial picks (yes… the “Is it a Christmas movie?” debate definitely comes up).

Each pick comes with personal stories, childhood memories, hot takes, and plenty of friendly trash-talk as the guys fight for the best Christmas movie lineup.

It’s Christmas time on The Cutter Cast, and the Cutter Crew is getting competitive. In this special Gear Gift Draft episode, Seth, Taylor, Jake, and Schafer (phoning in from the wilderness) draft their top Christmas gift picks across four categories: Big Gift, Under-$100 Gear, Stocking Stuffers, and Canvas Cutter Gear.

From high-end outdoor gear to essential camp accessories to the most ridiculous wildcard picks you can imagine, the crew battles it out to create the ultimate Christmas gift list for hunters, campers, and anyone who loves the outdoors.

You’ll hear why each pick made the cut, what gear we personally use and trust, and a few hilarious moments as the guys fight over draft steals, wasted picks, and holiday hot takes.

This is a fun, fast-paced, festive episode full of personality, laughs, and solid recommendations for the outdoorsman in your life.

In this episode of The Cutter Cast, Seth and Taylor sit down with Jonathan McCormick, better known as RedBeard Outdoors, to talk about the life experiences that lead him to discover his passion for hunting, life outdoors, and becoming podcaster.

Jonathan shares stories of growing up in North Carolina, learning outdoor skills through the Boy Scouts under the guidance of Army Delta Force scout leaders, and the winding path that eventually brought him west to Utah. He talks about how a good friend introduced him to hunting, the animals he loves to pursue most, and how he built a passion for sharing the outdoors through the RedBeard Outdoors podcast and brand.

We also dive into what Jonathan sees coming next.

Whether you know RedBeard or are hearing his story for the first time, this episode is packed with honesty, grit, and the heartfelt experiences that define a true outdoorsman.

In this episode of The Cutter Cast, Seth and Taylor sit down to answer a wide range of customer questions — from gear and product development to canvas creation, waterproofing, and whether we’re bringing out new items customers have been asking for. Nothing was off the table.

We talk about how canvas is made, if a Dominator is better than other bedroll options, and tackle questions about products we don’t currently offer (and whether they may be coming in the future).

This episode gives an honest behind-the-scenes look at how a small business delivers products to market, how we approach customer feedback, and what the future might hold for Canvas Cutter.

If you’ve ever wondered about our materials, our process, our decisions, or what’s in the works — this Q&A episode is for you.
