Some people wake up when they have to.

Some people wake up because something in them refuses to stay still. Spring has a way of exposing that. New light, new ground, new work to be done. Out with old excuses, in with the new standard. If you're lacing up boots before sunrise, loading up a pack, stepping into the garage gym, or logging miles while the world's still quiet, you don't need soft fuel. You need something built for rebellion, the disciplined kind. Black Rifle Coffee didn't discover grit in 2026 They were founded on it. Built by veterans who understand early mornings, quiet courage and doing hard reps, nobody applauds. They're ready to drink cold brew, is made for motion. Just black, clean, direct, no nonsense. Vanilla, smooth, bold, still all business. Throw it in your truck, your range bag, your pack, it's ready when you are. And when the season demands more, grab Grape X or Wild Frost from Black Rifle Energy. Zero sugar, 200 milligrams of caffeine, no crash, no compromise. This isn't about trends, it's about renewal. Raising your bar, new season, sharper edge. Find Black Rifle Coffee at Walmart, Target, Kroger, your local Black Rifle Coffee shop or online at blackriflecoffee.com.

One of the hardest parts of hunting is glassing big country to find animals you know are there. That's why I run Sig Sauer Zulu Imaging Stabilizing Binoculars when I'm covering a lot of ground and need to see everything.

These binos are a complete game changer. After long climbs, when your heart rate's up and your hands aren't steady, shaky glass makes it hard to stay locked in. With image stabilization, everything settles down. You can slow the process, really pick apart the country and catch movement you'd normally miss. I've found more animals and saved a ton of time because of these binos. I actually just talked about how impressive this technology is on the most recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. Once you use stabilized glass, it's hard to go back. It gives you a real advantage when you're hunting big open terrain. And here's the rare part. Optics companies almost never offer discounts, but Sig is giving listeners of this podcast 10% off. Just use code CAM at checkout. So if you're serious about glassing and want the same edge I've had the past couple of seasons, head to sigsauer.com, grab a pair of Zulu binos and use code CAM for 10% off.

Well, this one is different, guys. I'm with Christine Drazan and I feel I'm nervous.

Christine Drazan (3:16)

Oh, come on.

Cameron Hanes (3:17)

I am nervous. Like, I'm not used to like having like very important people. You're running to be the next governor of Oregon, the Republican candidate, and it's an honor to have you here. Thank you for coming.

How's your day going?

Christine Drazan (3:32)

So here's the thing.

I'm running to serve people. That's just that's like a long, long job application process. I'm in the middle of right. And I'm excited to be here and I love your podcast and honored to be invited. So thank you for that. Day's gone great. We're heading to an OSU game after this and a sportsman's fish fry at the end of the night. It's going to be a great day.

Cameron Hanes (4:01)

Yeah.

What a grind. I mean, how many days are we away from the election? I know you know, probably hours.

Christine Drazan (4:08)

I don't know by the hours, but I think today is 16 days away from the election.

Yeah. Yeah. But honestly, every day is election day at this point, right? People have their ballots. People are voting right now. Today's election day, tomorrow's election day. Like, let's go.

Cameron Hanes (4:24)

That's where we're at. And that's the one thing I want to kick off this podcast with or this discussion with is get out and vote. I mean, if you look at the numbers, I don't want to reference my notes too much, but there's 3 million registered voters in Oregon. Last time you ran for governor, last time two. Two million people voted. So we had a million people who could have a say, have a voice, and they chose not to use it. All we're saying is please get out and vote. And for me in this regard, we haven't had a Republican governor since Vicatee in the 80s. And he did a lot of great things.

We were in a recession back then.

He talked about, helped with conservation on the Columbia River. And that was 40 some years ago. I believe like we deserve another chance, Republicans. But it's like, not even, you're not really identifying yourself as a political party. It's just you want to help Oregonians, right? Tell me.
