073: The Ultra Mindset with Travis Macy Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

On this episode, Adam is joined by ultra-distance athlete extraordinaire Travis Macy. Travis has raced professionally around the world in just about every ultra-endurance discipline you can think of…but this podcast is not about training and endurance.

This podcast is about mindset. Travis recently released his first book, THE ULTRA MINDSET, and on this show Adam and Travis dive into the lessons, techniques, and habits Travis has learned and codified over his years competing at the highest level in endurance sports.

Whether you're looking to elevate your game in life, career, business, relationships, sports, and yes even hunting, Travis' book is an approachable and entertaining read that serves as invaluable resource for helping you achieve those goals.

On top of this, Travis is also a newly obsessed hunter, so Adam and Travis also spend some time talking about the parallels between the endurance world and the hunting world. These two communities and pursuits are far more connected than you may think!

With 2018 fast approaching this is a timely podcast for setting your goals and putting plans in motion for next year!

070: Augusts in Africa with Tom McIntyre Nov 10, 2017

Show notes

On this episode, Adam is joined by Tom McIntyre who, over his long and illustrious career as a writer and author in the hunting field, has had the good fortune to hunt all over the globe.

Tom's true passion however, is Africa, and in his latest book Augusts in Africa, he shares the unique perspectives and experiences he's gleaned from hunting on the Dark Continent over the past 40 years.

What makes this book so unique, however, is the multi-decade approach Tom takes to telling not only his stories but also the story of hunting and conservation in Africa, and just how much the safari experience has changed over the years.

In the pages of this book, you won't find the typically glorified "rich man's African safari" tales. This is a book about a deep love and respect for a land, its people and the game animals that roam its storied savannahs, jungles and veldt.

Regardless of your opinion on hunting in Africa, what happens there impacts hunters and the public perception of hunting around the globe. Tom's book and this interview are not to be missed!

069: Hiking 2,000+ Miles in Six Months with Emory Wanger of BY LAND Nov 03, 2017

Show notes

On this episode, Adam is joined by ex-Marine and dedicated backcountry hunter Emory Wanger. Emory is the founder of BY LAND, a web and podcast platform dedicated to helping people get the most out of their backcountry experiences.

Emory recently completed a non-stop traverse of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), a thru-hike that stretches from the US-Mexican border all the way to its northern terminus in Canada, spanning more than 2,000 miles. That's right he hiked virtually non-stop for six straight months.

On this episode, Emory shares the invaluable lessons learned during his epic adventure. From gear to mindset, and motivation Emory's thoughts are not to be missed. This is, without any exaggeration, one of the most powerful podcasts you will listen to this year and we are honoured to have had him on the show.

068: How to Live Unscared with Brian Mackenzie Oct 27, 2017

Show notes

WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE IS USED IN THIS EPISODE*** On this episode Adam is joined by Brian Mackenzie. If you have any experience with CrossFit, you'll likely be familiar with Brian's work as the founder of CrossFit Endurance. But Brian's influence is far from limited to the fire breathing CrossFit community and since moving on to start Power Speed Endurance (PSE) it's obvious he's just getting started. His latest area of emphasis has immense potential for our community and focuses on a topic rarely, if ever, discussed in the hunting world. This is a podcast you won't want to miss. As a human movement and performance expert Brian's true specialty lies in finding unconventional, and often disruptive, solutions to impediments to achieving maximum potential, whatever your goal may be. As someone that has never been shy to tell it likes he sees it, Brian has made a name as a thought provoking and outspoken expert in the training and performance world. This episode however is about so much more than training and you will not want to miss the second half of the discussion that dives into a topic that could literally change how you handle yourself in the backcountry.

Show notes

On this episode, Adam is joined by Kevin Guillen and Courtney Denham from Wilderness Athlete to discuss the recent launch of their new Paleo(ish) line of products.

This is not merely a product discussion however. Adam and the Wilderness Athlete crew spend a good portion of the show trying to make sense of the often confusing and misleading BS that pervades the diet, nutrition and supplement business and do their best to take a moderate view of making sound nutritional decisions.

Whether you're a nutritional geek or not, this episode will be sure to enlighten and entertain. And be sure to check out the Wilderness Athlete Journal, an invaluable source of nutrition, training and healthy lifestyle content!

064: Ropes & Knots for the Mountain Hunter Oct 04, 2017

Show notes

On this episode, Adam will be doing a read of an article that was—until recently—exclusively available in the new print edition of The Journal of Mountain Hunting. To view a FREE digital sample of the article please visit the link below or go to www.journalofmountainhunting.com and click on the SHOP tab and scroll down to the VIEW TEASER section at the bottom of the page.

The article itself includes lists and illustrations of the equipment and knots discussed in this podcast so be sure to check it out after listening to the show.

If you're a dedicated mountain hunter, you can handle yourself in the backcountry. But there is one vastly underappreciated skillset that is lacking in our community: rope handling and knot skills.

If you prefer to chase sheep, goats and mule deer in the alpine then at some point in your hunting career, you're likely to find yourself in a position where the tools and skills covered in this podcast (and article) could save your hunt, and maybe even your life.

This is a short but highly informative episode featuring a proven system and skillset for handling less than ideal situations in the backcountry.
