About MeatEater
MeatEater is currently airing on Sportsman Channel; the next episode airs in 2026. The series has been ongoing since its debut in 2012 and continues to follow its host, Steven Rinella.
In MeatEater, Rinella demonstrates various hunting techniques, tracks and pursues prey, and procures his own food to prepare meals over a campfire. The show emphasizes sustenance hunting rooted in ancestral traditions, avoiding trophy or sport hunting. Rinella's adventures take him from the remote Alaskan wilderness to Texas, where he challenges himself and shares his back-country skills while providing engaging outdoor content.
