I'm sure 76 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: anyone who's the first thing you think about when you're 77 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: gonna go on hunt, You like, dude, I gotta put 78 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: U some way to my back and walk around yep, 79 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: because that's gonna you are for sure going to do that. 80 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: So well, you've been talking to Jeff, not you, Jeff 81 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: other Jeff. Oh, that'll hunted access with he said about 82 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: a month month and a half out, he just starts 83 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: loading a fifty pound bag and walking with that.

Yeah, 86 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 3: he even had the little ankle weights and the wrist weights. 87 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean that's it's the best place to start. Like, 88 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: it's just it's just so simple, it's so obvious that 89 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: something you're gonna need. And then, in our opinion, it 90 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: gets a little mundane after a little while, you're gonna 91 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: want to change it up. Get some you don't want 92 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: to go. I don't. Maybe someone does. I don't want 93 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: to go have to walk for two or three hours 94 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: a day to get the kind of fitness in I'd 95 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: rather go and do a high intensity workout for twenty 96 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: to thirty minutes and get the same maybe two. 97 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: Times a week. It along slow, but I'd prefer to. 98 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: But you're gonna I mean this, the science I won't 99 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: get in the side, but the science supports the high 100 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: intensity stuff twenty to thirty minutes is a little bit 101 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: better at moving the needle for you in your overall fitness, 102 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 2: then it will be doing that two to. 103 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: Three hour rock. 104 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll we'll keep you posted on that. Probably 105 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 2: we're probably looking at the month of July for that. 106 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: We'll do.

You're like, dude, I shouldn't have 171 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: done that extra workout. 172 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, not once. 173 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: So, but I also like than any sitting here, he's 174 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: probably fitter than the rest of you. 175 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: I also like to enjoy it, you know, but I 176 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: also enjoy kind of the suffering and the pain side 177 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: of it. I enjoy It's like, man, you know. 178 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: Just put your head down, get it done. 179 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, So it's always going to be harder and 180 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: steeper than you think, so train that. 181 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, how many times you've read a topo map you 182 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: get out there, you go. 183 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: A lot closer to yeah, or even I know when 184 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: I like, look at a mountain, you're glassing it, Like, 185 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: oh man, I can get up there in forty five minutes, 186 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: Like that's no problem. Besides when we were in Texas, 187 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: we actually could, but in Colorado, Montana, realistically, i'd say 188 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: triple the amount of time that you think you're gonna 189 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 3: be able to do it in. And that's probably where 190 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 3: you're at. 191 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: Well. A lot of those times you're not seeing the 192 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: bottom the steepest part, usually the thickest vegetation. 193 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: So it's where the creek is. Yeah, it's roaring. It's 194 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: always further than you think. 195 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: Yep. So a couple of things to think about. You know, 196 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: what's your buy in distance? So what's it going to 197 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: cost you to get there? Yeah? And once you're up there, 198 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: what's it going to cost to then go make a 199 00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: play somewhere else? 200 00:08:59,400 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 3: Yeah? 201 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Those are things you've got to. Like, I've got to 202 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: know in training, where I'm training at, what I've been 203 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: doing at, what time or what amount of time on 204 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: my feet or distance? Am I starting to like? Okay, 205 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: this sucks. I don't want to do this anymore. 206 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: Because at some point you're using a vehicle, maybe a 207 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 3: horse and mule. You know, lamas are pretty popular, but 208 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: you're trying to figure out, Okay, if I'm camping here 209 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: a in the elk or mule deer are at b 210 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: what's that buy in process going to look like? And 211 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 3: what type of fitness level does that going to take? 212 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, yeah, you have to be a 213 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: certain fitness level, but you also have it's like it 214 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: has to be feasible to like the time you're like, 215 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 2: well I can just get over there, Well, yeah, you 216 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: can do over there, But if you're gonna go over 217 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: there at dark, why go why are you going over 218 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: there dark? You know, you need to have a plan 219 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: set up to where you're gonna be like, Okay, realistically today, 220 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: can I get over there where I if I'm at 221 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: a glassing point, I see those out come across, Can 222 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: I go over there? Or am I going to do 223 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: the jeffery? Am I going to pack a backpack and 224 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get halfway and then get the rest of 225 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: the way. You know, there's things to think about and 226 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: then that all that is plays into packing your pack, 227 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: which then probably makes your pack heavier yep, which then 228 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: goes back to being fitter. 229 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: THET scouting is a really good tool for this too, 230 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: Like you can get in there whatever medium you use 231 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 3: for EST scouting, you can get to three D mode 232 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: and it'll tell you how much vert you're you're gonna 233 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: be doing from A to B and like understand what 234 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: that actually means. A thousand feet is not that bad, 235 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 3: but are you doing it in a quarter mile that's horrible. 236 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 237 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, So understanding that balance of like Okay, this is 238 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: a thousand feet in a three mile radius. Okay, it's 239 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: kind of like a gradual incline. So have an idea 240 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 3: of your of your area prior to the hunt via 241 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: et scouting is always a benefit when it comes to 242 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: pacing on hunt. 243 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is you can use that in your 244 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: prep too. If you're gonna go off for those rucks, 245 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: use the use the topo map for that too, and say, okay, 246 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: well I just covered five hundred feet over a quarter mile. 247 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: I kind of that's and you have a gauge of 248 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 2: what that feels like. And then you can use that 249 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: gauge of like, Okay, well this is gonna be longer 250 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: but less steep, or it's gonna be shorter and more steep, 251 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: and you kind of have an idea of those times 252 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: and that and I also comes with like knowing the 253 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: place you're hunting. Obviously, the more you do the east scouting, 254 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: you use it for yourself. But when you get your 255 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: when you get boots on the ground, boots on the ground, 256 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 2: you get boots on the ground, things change. I mean 257 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: you can you can definitely assess it a little bit more. 258 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: But having the reps of just going out west or 259 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: just going up and downhills or mountains, it's gonna make 260 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: it easier for you to determine that time in which 261 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: is going to take you to cover certain distances at 262 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: certain elevations. 263 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: That's also a fitness tracker is helpful in that when 264 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: you're training. You know, I we wear the ring and 265 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: it's a little less GPS, but a watch could help 266 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: you with in training knowing all right, hey, I like 267 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: here you take fight for Mountain for example, it's about 268 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: one thousand feet of elevation chain in three miles. Granted 269 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: one mile is about flat. 270 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so. 271 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a bit deceiving because it is super 272 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: steep in two different spots and so but that's a 273 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: good way to be like, Okay, at home where I train, 274 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, this hill is four hundred feet of elevation 275 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: change in a mile. You're like, oh, okay, that was hard. 276 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: So now I need to look at all right, what 277 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: is on this map? What's that distance? You know, my 278 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: sidehilling it a little bit, am I gonna kind of 279 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: you know, You'll get on a hill and you're like, 280 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go straight at it, and next thing you know, 281 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: you're you're kind of zig. 282 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: Zag, which it does help totally. 283 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: Those are some tactics that you can kind of save 284 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: your legs a little bit. Your heart rate might be 285 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: a little bit higher, but your legs won't get as burnout. 286 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: So that's where fitness comes into play. You know, we 287 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: did that a lot early years in Colorado. You'd get 288 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: back at night and you're you know, there's that wall, 289 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: that one spot where we hunted, and you're like, oh, 290 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: I'll just go straight up it. The next thing, you know, 291 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: you start and. 292 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: Find just a tiny little game. 293 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: Oh I like that one. 294 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and there's a reason why they do it too. 295 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't go straight up their corner. Yep. 296 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: You can find a game trail, a good game trail, 297 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: and that just comes with yeah, years of doing it. 298 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have the ability to get boots on 299 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 3: the ground in your hunting area prior to your hunt, 300 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: you know, maybe it's like, oh, it's three miles from 301 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: A to B, but two out of the miles is deadfall. 302 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Like that will make a man quick 303 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: quicker than anything. So like understand the terrain again. It's 304 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: always further and harder than you think, so just be 305 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: prepared and over prepare. 306 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 2: A good tool that I've used for myself for just 307 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: like run. If I'm training for a run or something, 308 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: I will if I'll just set my watch and i 309 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: won't look at it, and I'll run whatever pace feels comfortable. 310 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: This can be just used just for rocking the same way. 311 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: I'll do three miles and then i'll stop. It doesn't 312 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: have to be three miles. I just go it for 313 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: a distance. I'll stop it and I'll say, Okay, that 314 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: was comfortable, or that was too hard, or I can 315 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: go faster. You can use that same approach if you're 316 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 2: gonna go out and ruck. Hey, I'm gonna start my watch. 317 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go from A to B, and from A 318 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: to B maybe two miles, and I'm not gonna look, 319 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pace it. I'm just gonna go at 320 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 2: the pace that feels comfortable to me that I think 321 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: I could continue the rest of the day doing yeah, 322 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: and then stop it and say, okay, well I cover 323 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: two miles and you know, twenty five minutes, and now 324 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: I know that's the pace that like, that's my daily 325 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: pace that I can do and I can continue to 326 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: hunt the rest of the day because if you get eye, 327 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: I know I'm not when I'm running, I'll do the 328 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: same thing and I'm like, oh man, I need to 329 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: go faster or I need to go slower. This is 330 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: the wrong pace. Really, you're you can kind of self 331 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: regulate pretty good. So like you'll you can do it 332 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: if you're not over fixated on being at that point 333 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: at a certain time, and then you use that data 334 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: when you go to a hunt. You map it out 335 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: and say, okay, well that's two miles roughly similar elevation 336 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: change is what I did in that ruck I did. 337 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: I kind of know long it's gonna take me, and 338 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: that's gonna be the pace that I can hold and 339 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: continue to move and tinue to move the rest of 340 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: the day. 341 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, the old timers would always talk about before all 342 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: this technology and stuff, the old mountain crettes. Yeah exactly, 343 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 3: but they would, Yeah, but they would always talk about 344 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: how the sweat was always your limitter, right, So if 345 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 3: you're starting to sweat, yeah, and then I was thinking 346 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: of you and Scott when I thought was thinking about this. 347 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: But if you're pacing it and you're starting to sweat more, 348 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: you're going too fast because you're like, yeah, that that 349 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: was pretty much their pacer back in the day. 350 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: It's not bad, but it's not good for you. It's 351 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: impossible for you, but it is. But I mean it's 352 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: a decent gauge, like to if you're starting to sweat, 353 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: you're working probably too hard for most people. If you are, 354 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 2: if you have a light sweat going, you're probably okay. 355 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: But yeah, if you start it starts pouring down your face, 356 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: you probably aren't gonna be able to maintain that. 357 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: Slow down, take a breath, take a drink, and then 358 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 3: if you're Scott Rich, just figure it out. Just hang on. 359 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you will not be sleeping, well, you said something, 360 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: we are going down to Texas, you go. I just 361 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: associate hunting trips with little sleep, And it is true. 362 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: That was an in a cabin. We were still getting 363 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: back at ten o'clock, ten thirty eleven, waking up at five. 364 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: Because it didn't get you could hunt to like eight 365 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: forty five, so we'd hunt forty five back, an hour, 366 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: drive back, an hour, eat dinner, and then like if 367 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: you were rushing to bed, you're in bed. 368 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: I was trying to rush to bed. Yeah, yeah, because 369 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I know how sleep affects me. Totally, sleep affects me. 370 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: And and I mean that puts Oh you can't Jeff napped. 371 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: He napped, good big nap, guy, big big Jeff Jeff 372 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: helm Yeah. Help meat. It's like a good nap. 373 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. 374 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: And that ties into the little food because if you are, 375 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 2: like Richa said, we're getting back late. We want to 376 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: go to sleep. So you're not going to be just 377 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: stuff in your face for two hours, which I mean 378 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: we try. You try to put in as much food 379 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: as possible because you're on your feet all day. It 380 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: was hot. It wasn't terrible, but it was hot, and 381 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: you're walking a lot, so you're not just like eating 382 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: all day. I was kind of no, but you're not 383 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: eating all day. You don't want to have it. You 384 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: don't want to be eating all day. You kind of 385 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: want to be on the move. Anyways, you're gonna get 386 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 2: back and try to get as much sleep as possible, 387 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: which is still gonna be little, which means you're not 388 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: gonna have time to just like get back and eat 389 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: and gorgeous. 390 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: And also ninety nine percent of the time you don't 391 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: have a guy cooking for you for sure. 392 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: That getting there, So you're cooking. 393 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 3: You're getting here, You're like, okay, do you want to 394 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 3: do a quick you know, dehydrated meal. 395 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: Are you cooked? 396 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, mountain ups?

That's easy with a lot of protein, 399 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: protein shake maybe, but you're by no means getting a. 400 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 2: You're putting in enough food so you can go to 401 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: sleep with that an empty stomach. It's really the idea, 402 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: you know, and then throughout the day you want something 403 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: on your stomach at least I do. I like something 404 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: on my stomach to move around in the morning. I'm 405 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: not as it's not as absolutely imperative for me. But 406 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: everyone's different, Like some people have to eat breakfast to 407 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: feel good. Some people, you know, have to eat a 408 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: big dinner to go to sleep. 409 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: Like there's just you know, you got your hunting partners, yeah, 410 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 3: for sure, Like I need caffeine. 411 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: That's it. 412 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 2: You have to be putting some food in. Caffeine is huge. 413 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's I think it's it is 414 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: like a performance enhancer. So you and I mean, I 415 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: don't see why you wouldn't use a fronting some people 416 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: something make. 417 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: It make some jittery. 418 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: But yeah, unrial. 419 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: I usually just one to two cups of coffee a 420 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: day in the morning, that's it. When I hunt, No, 421 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: there's no every time I can get it. Yeah, me 422 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: and Scott will just mix a giant ninety six ounce 423 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: of nalgene of YETI mode. Yep, we just sip on 424 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: it through the days. Yeah. Nice, just completely taxing the 425 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: nervous system. 426 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not the best. You know, we're oute if 427 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 3: you can get a good meal in it, but that 428 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 3: is oh yeah, yeah. Your dietary settlements are always a 429 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: good option because they're quick, easy, and they pack up 430 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 3: calorie dance. 431 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's those meals. I mean, and you know, obviously 432 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: Mountain Ups is a sponsor, but they are really the 433 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: macros on those. 434 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: Yes, really great. 435 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 3: Forty five grams of protein is huge and. 436 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: One of those meals, so those are awesome. But and 437 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: just having a hot meal can bring you back for 438 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, like eating a sandwich, eating a bar, eating 439 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: fruit or whatever, just sing or whatever. But but having 440 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: a warm meal at night or when you get us 441 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: sit down time or if it's cold. 442 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: I don't know about you guys, but every time I 443 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: go through like the can or the granola bar section 444 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 3: of a of a grocery store, I just cring. I'm 445 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 3: burnt out on that one. I'm burnt out on that one. 446 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to like you have to keep it 447 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: on a rotation three years. I can't eat that one. 448 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: For you know. 449 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 3: I ad to nature valley bars. 450 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: Uh, what you were something that I can eat trash? 451 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 2: I don't care what you're saying about the hot meal 452 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 2: is is true, and this is this isn't necessarily about 453 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess this does tie into this. 454 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 2: There are just like a few things that I try 455 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: to get me back, that I try to do to 456 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 2: get me back to baseline. So like a hot meal 457 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 2: can do it, teeth can it? Bringing like wet wipes 458 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 2: and wiping my body down just a little bit can 459 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: bring me back to it. Like there's just these simple 460 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 2: like human creature comforts or like having like a nice pillow, 461 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 2: like something very simple that just like makes it not 462 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: feel like you're absolutely in hell when we're you know, 463 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 2: when we're talking about getting deep into a hunt. I 464 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: think it's important because I am Me and Jeff have 465 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: hunted together now twice. I am very negative. Rich is 466 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 2: very similar to me too, very negative period be in 467 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 2: the middle. 468 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: I can be persuaded by whoever I'm with. 469 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: I'm very negative. So if I like, if I know 470 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: that I'm gonna go back to camp and there's going 471 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 2: to be a me that is hot, that might be 472 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 2: just enough to keep me on my feet all day, right, 473 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: and I don't need a lot, but just like one 474 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: thing to get me to not be so negative is good. 475 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: So I'm sure there's more people like me. So like 476 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: that does tie into like wanting to be out there, 477 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: continuing to want to be out there, and continuing to 478 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: push while you're out there, if you have something to 479 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: look forward to, and maybe it is just a peanut 480 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: butter and jelly, like it could be something simple. It 481 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: doesn't need to be something crazy. 482 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 3: We'll go in depth on a nutrition podcast too soon, 483 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 3: just like how to actually prepare nutrition wise. But that's 484 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: actually a good segue to the next section of knowing 485 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 3: your hunting partners fitness as well. 486 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: True with your hunting partners totally. 487 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 3: That's obviously that's best case scenario. 488 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: You can be or even virtually, I mean, we had 489 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: a group for a while before we kicked you off, 490 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: before you went and slept with the enemy. 491 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 2: You can't serve two masters. 492 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: Still the screenshot where we still want motivation, where we 493 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: still where we would send workouts, share workouts. Yeah, like, hey, 494 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: this is what we're doing.

He said, yeah, 517 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: like I used to work out this guy when I 518 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: was like twenties, my twenties or thirties or whatever.

And he said, 521 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: after a while, they both I mean, I think they 522 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 2: just got busy, but like they both had said that 523 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: I don't want to be here, you don't want to 524 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 2: be here, but they just show up because they're both 525 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 2: gonna be there, so they just show up. And I mean, 526 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 2: so that's like that's an age old truth. It's not 527 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: just us saying that like that will happen. 528 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 3: But talking about like in a hunting scenario, right, if 529 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: you bury your buddy, it's just it's not a good 530 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 3: look like you're probably I don't know, it's just not 531 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 3: a it's not gonna be fun.

You know, maybe you're a 535 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: little bit fitter than or a little less fit. Like 536 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: I always think about like if I'm hunting in a group, 537 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: or I'm hunting with a partner and I'm the slower one, 538 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: or they're the slower one, whoever's the slower one leads 539 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 3: the pace. Yeah, sets the pace. So it's not like 540 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 3: they're chasing the tail or. You know, you look up 541 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: in your five which backs above them. 542 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: You know what the real problem with that is that 543 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: the male ego. Oh for sure, you don't want to 544 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 2: be that Yeah, you don't want to be that guy, 545 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: and you don't have to be that guy, but you 546 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 2: have to be Like if if I'm hunting with Rich, 547 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 2: I know I am that guy, Like I don't have 548 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: that ego, I know that I am that guy. Just 549 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 2: like drop the ego, have the have the conversation. You 550 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: guys will both have a better time if you do. 551 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 2: If I know I'm the if I know I might 552 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: be fitter. If I know I might be a slower one. 553 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: They're not gonna bite your head off. Most likely they're 554 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 2: your friend. 555 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna be like, all right, unless we're going after 556 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: something that we can see. Yeah, that's different at that 557 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: point because you didn't do anything. 558 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 3: That is way different if you're saying you're putting the 559 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: work in and you're not, and then you show up 560 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 3: on game day and you're huffing and puffing the you. 561 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: Know, like, all right, man, let's do it.

This is weird how you were in a study. 581 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: I was a subject of the study. It's really interesting 582 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: that this was just with a cross oft workout. It 583 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: can be with anything, though. What we're saying that thirty 584 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: minutes you are it feels like the hardest because you 585 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 2: were heart your heart, it wasn't up. But then you 586 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: get to this point and for a long time you 587 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 2: can level off at that at that point, so when 588 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: you this is what I tell myself, Once I get 589 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: up to that comfortable pace, Yeah, then you just settle 590 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: out and it's like it doesn't really get much worse 591 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: than that. You're so just know that thirty Yeah, know 592 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: that first thirty minutes is gonna be is gonna suck. 593 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 2: But after that thirty minutes you're you're like, I can 594 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: just keep doing this, right, Like you kind of settle 595 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: into a mindset and a and a and a pace 596 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: that you're like, I can just put in some type 597 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: of yeah that. 598 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, also a lot I see a lot of guys 599 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 3: quit in that first thirty minutes mentally, just like, dude, 600 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,239 Speaker 3: if this is already that hardy, why do you think 601 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: I can do this for four or five days. It's 602 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 3: not like it does get better. 603 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 2: You have to tell yourself this, I'm gonna get through this, 604 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: and it's gonna it's gonna be uncomfortable, and then I'm 605 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 2: just gonna kind of sit in it. But however, fine. 606 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 3: On the flip side of that, you're like day zero, 607 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 3: day one, you're excited, you're fired up, You're gonna start 608 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 3: crushing these hills. You have to pace yours like you 609 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 3: have to understand what threshold is going to be sustainable 610 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: for that four or five six day window, however long 611 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: you have allocated to hunt. 612 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 2: It's the feet. It's the feet and the knees. 613 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: For me, it's like if you're not side hill and 614 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: my feet are fine. If you're side healing. That first 615 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: couple of years in Gunnison, it felt like you know 616 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: when you buy pizza and like it just comes out 617 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: of the oven and you go to pull piece, so 618 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: he just slides off. That's what the bottom of my 619 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: feet felt like. 620 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's come from you training and basically 621 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 2: the shoes you're going to be hiking in that helps 622 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 2: you don't have to train all the time. And your 623 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 2: hiking boots should train some Uh, to know that they're 624 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: going We've talked about that a bunch, but like to 625 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: know that they're going to work for you, but that 626 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 2: you're the feet in the knees. Manage the feet in 627 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: the knees, and I think you are in like a 628 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 2: hard back here in a pack. But yeah, they'll heart rate. 629 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: But like for i'd say muscle or joint pain, which 630 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 2: is probably gonna limit most guys. Is the probably the 631 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 2: muscle pain of their feet and or the joint pain 632 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: of their knees is gonna want to limit you. 633 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm on the joint pain side. 634 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: The sidehilling that I told Jeff that downhill, it's the 635 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 2: downhill on my knees. It's not the uphill, it's not 636 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: the side hill. It's the freaking downhill we're doing on 637 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 2: loose rock, and I'm like, dude, I can't keep doing this. 638 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 2: It sucks. 639 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: Yep. 640 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: So those are the things I think you're thinking about 641 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: when we're talking about conditioning and when we're talking about pacing. 642 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: Those first few days. If your feet are absolutely killing 643 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: you after two hours, just stop for a few minutes. 644 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 2: You those few minutes are going to pay off way 645 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: more later on down the week than if you try 646 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 2: to push through them. 647 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 3: You get blisters. Yeah, you can get hotspots that turn 648 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: into blisters, and then you are hurting every single step. 649 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 3: That's just a recipe for you wanting to leave early. 650 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: Because you can. You can almost feather that red line. 651 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: You can keep just like as you I think about 652 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: this a lot, even with cross of it or whatever. 653 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: I feather that red line and then I rest. And 654 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 2: then when I feel like I'm feathering the red line, 655 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 2: because once you dip past the red line for a second, 656 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 2: you ain't really coming back down. It's gonna take a 657 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 2: long time for that ticker to come back down totally. 658 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 2: You feather it, it'll drop. You feather it, it'll drop. 659 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 2: You go too far, you're kind of screwed for a while, right, 660 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 2: and and then you you develop blisters. If you just 661 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: rest your feet for a second, you may not develop 662 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: any blisters, right, But if you push just ten twenty 663 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 2: minutes farther, now you have a blister. Now you're feeling 664 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 2: all weak. 665 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 3: Yep, it ain't going away, and in a I guess 666 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 3: a good scenario, I wouldn't take notes from us while 667 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 3: we were in Gunnison.

I'm 694 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 2: wearing next to nothing out there because I mean it's 695 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: only it's like forty or forty five degrees. But I'm 696 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 2: wearing next to nothing because I know I'm gonna be 697 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: working for an hour to too possibly and then I'm 698 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 2: gonna get freezing cold because I'm gonna get sweaty. There's 699 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: no way around that. I'm gonna get sweaty, and I 700 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: don't want to get extra sweatas I'm wearing too many 701 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: layers and I don't want to get those layers wet. 702 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 2: I see you have that on here. It's true. I 703 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: don't want to get those wet because if I have, 704 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: I do this and this is weird. I bring a 705 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 2: second pair of socks out. I will do all this work. 706 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: I'll hike and I'll set my tree stand up in 707 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: thin socks, just regular socks, And as soon as everything's 708 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 2: set up, I take those socks off and I put 709 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 2: on my nice socks and the rest of the sit 710 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 2: is so nice. It is so nice. So, yes, the sweat. 711 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 2: You think your boots. If you're like me, you think 712 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: your boots aren't warm enough, they probably are. It's because 713 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: and they're not too warm. Some people say they're too warm. No, 714 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: you've sweat through your socks and now they're getting cold 715 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: because they were wet. So find a way to not 716 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: get wet is the best thing. Or have a system 717 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 2: like I do. If you do get wet, what are 718 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 2: you going to do? If you get sweaty slash wet 719 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: and then you don't want to get cold, how are 720 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: you going to manage that? 721 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? The very literally the very first hunt Steven, my father, 722 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 3: Stephen Gadbury and I ever went on like day one. 723 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 3: We I wake up early and like we're starting to 724 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: hike and he's in his like he's got a down 725 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 3: jacket on a fleece underneath, and I'm like, dude, trust me, 726 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 3: you're gonna want to take that off. Yeah, it was 727 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: no man, I'm freezing like this is you know, a guy. 728 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: He's lived in Arkansas his whole life. He hasn't even 729 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 3: been below forty degrees, and it's obviously it gets warm 730 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 3: up with it. Like, dude, trust me, you're gonna want 731 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 3: to take off those classes. He goes, no, I'm not like, 732 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 3: let's just start hiking. I'm like, okay, I'm not kidding you. 733 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 3: Within thirty minutes, he was in his underwear jumping into 734 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 3: a creek, completely drenched himself into a creek. 735 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: He was so hot. 736 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 2: I'm serious. That is it really is good advice, is 737 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 2: still but as it is b bold, start cold, yeah 738 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: is uh, it's it's a great. It's great advice because, 739 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 2: like you just said, you most likely the morning hike 740 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 2: is not that far. If you're going to a glass knob, 741 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: that's kind of the goal. Get up there and then 742 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 2: we're gonna sit. We're gonna sit till daylight, maybe an 743 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: hour past daylight, see what's moving, and then make your 744 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 2: play from there. Uh, so you're gonna you can get there, 745 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 2: then throw that hoodie on or whatever it is while 746 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: you're sitting there and take it off. By that time, 747 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 2: it will be warmed out, the sun will be up, 748 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 2: and then things will be warm most likely depending on 749 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 2: the time of season. Obviously, if you're in like late season, 750 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 2: it's different, but similar similar things will apply, as in 751 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 2: you will start colder and then put on layers and 752 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 2: then probably take those layers off again to get moving again. 753 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 3: So yeah, especially learn this lesson as the camera guy 754 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 3: on a lot of hunts because as the camera guy 755 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 3: you obviously want to be low key as possible. Not there, yeah, exactly. 756 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 3: And so if you're like halfway into a hike and 757 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: you're like, oh crap, I have to take my backpack off, 758 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 3: my bino harness off to d layer and put everything 759 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 3: back on, your hunter is not gonna want to wait 760 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 3: for true, And so when I'm starting to hike, I'm 761 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 3: dang near and nothing as well. 762 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And then you usually are like, ah, this 763 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: is fine. Yeah maybe, and then by the end of 764 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 2: the day you're like, maybe I could add one more layer, 765 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 2: but probably still you're like I'm good, totally. 766 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: Smooth as fast. That's pretty obvious. It's overstated, probably, but 767 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: it's pretty true, you know, talking about some of these 768 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: where your hunts get blown up. It happened to Billings 769 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: one we went our first hunt in Montana he got 770 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: blown up on. 771 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: The first day and did he t stand how the 772 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: rest of the week. 773 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: Tree Stand hunted for the next the next afternoon and 774 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: then the full next day, and he was the only 775 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: one that saw elk. 776 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 3: So wow, oh there you go. 777 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, he wasn't. He wasn't his eye wasn't as trained, 778 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: and he wasn't sure if it was a legal bull. 779 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 3: Sounds like it was, didn't You say he has some 780 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 3: like hat gauge that you use with Oh. 781 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was hat gauge. Whichever. When they we're hunting together, 782 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: if his hat goes here, you know, he's starting to 783 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: get kind of hot. It goes here, how is Yep, 784 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: it's a good gage. That's knowing your partner and knowing 785 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: your teammate. Yeah, and then you know, don't blow up 786 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: before the pack out, because that's when it really gets hard. 787 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, I mean how many times this so cliche? 788 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 2: You guys know what I'm about to say. The hunt 789 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 2: doesn't start until the package doesn't start. Now the bull's 790 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: down to work starts now. Yeah, it is cliche. But 791 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: then there's cliche for a reason, like people say, for 792 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 2: a reason because it's true, Like the real work, I hey, 793 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 2: I actually, I don't know. You guys tell me, yeah, 794 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 2: you've never packed, I don't know. 795 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: It sucks, dude. I've been on some hard packouts and 796 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: then I've been on some like hey, the trails just 797 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: right over there, yeah, by side there, So that's yeah. 798 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 3: Usually you're taking the path of these resistance, but a 799 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 3: lot of times the released resistance is still a lot 800 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 3: of resistance. 801 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: What's gonna be fun? As we're talking through these things 802 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about hunt camp, is like, guys, are 803 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: gonna know what if free day hunt feels like because 804 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: we are fitness in the morning and be like getting 805 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 1: up to your spot. Then yeah, and then we're gonna 806 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: have kind of two involved breakout sessions where there's gonna 807 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: be some hiking and walking in the afternoons, we're gonna 808 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: do some mock backouts yea. And so you're gonna feel 809 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,919 Speaker 1: what I feel like for about a three day hunt 810 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: and you'll know that, hey, three day hunt, this is 811 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: how hard I need to push? Or a five day hunt, 812 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: what's it gonna feel like in day three? So yeah, 813 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really a lot of there's 814 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of knowledge gained. I think through 815 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: for sure. 816 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 3: Four days or three especially too for this point of like, 817 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: don't blow up before the before the pack out. A 818 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 3: lot of the times you're mentally giving up before the 819 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 3: approach of to the bull even starts. I know obviously 820 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 3: on this table, probably not the case. 821 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: It's an emotional freaking roller coach totally. 822 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 3: You see a bull and you're just like a you know, 823 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 3: the wind's not right. You know, he's in that next 824 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,439 Speaker 3: little ridge over. I probably can't get to him in time. 825 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 3: That's because you're you're gased, you're smoked, your you're four 826 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 3: days in you know. So that's what I kind of 827 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 3: meant when I threw in that note, is like you're 828 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 3: you're mentally like doing the calculation and you're already beating yourself. Yeah, exactly, 829 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 3: So you're trying to hype yourself up for that moment 830 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 3: to even get into that moment. 831 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is all physical. You can't prepare yourself for 832 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: the mental and emotional highs and lows and nope, and 833 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: it just drains your nervous system more than and so 834 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: once again that's where all this fitness and prep were 835 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: out of season or leading into is crucial because physically 836 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard no matter what. But mentally and 837 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: emotionally and and once again, first world problems within reason whatever, 838 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: but we are not made to do that regularly, or 839 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: haven't done that regularly for a year. And then the 840 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: emotional toll it takes of like the hope of like 841 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 1: oh this, you know, this dark timber or something. 842 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 3: That's it. 843 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: That's then then you get through the dark timber and nothing, 844 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: and then you're like the feet and they're like, oh 845 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: more dark timber. All right, we're gonna go kind. 846 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 3: Of slow, sign yeph. 847 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: And it's just such an emotional role. And then that 848 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: doesn't even count if you get in a situation yeah, 849 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: and you're about to draw or you do draw and 850 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: and something happens and then it's gone again. And so 851 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: the like the the endorphins and all that, it is 852 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: real and takes a toll on your nervous system. 853 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 2: So is the more. 854 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 1: Prepared you can be and have more fall back things 855 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: or more things saying creature comforts or you know, fresh 856 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: pair of socks, whatever it is to bring you back, 857 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: have it ready because you're gonna need it, and you're 858 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna need three or four of them. 859 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 2: If it's the if it's the now gene full YETI 860 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 2: mode yep, that's what it is. That that might be 861 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 2: literally what it is. Or if you you stash a 862 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 2: you stash a peanut bur and jelly, you stash an 863 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 2: energy drink or something you find or. 864 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: Just make peanut burr and jelly than before and you 865 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: couldn't eat it until after the like walk out at night, 866 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: so it's nice and soggy. It was like, I still, 867 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: you know what? 868 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 2: Would you know?

You have 992 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 3: that like five more percent in your capacity now because 993 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 3: you've told yourself, oh, this is going to work. 994 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 2: Like if we I guess it's true because if we 995 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 2: would have had two or three more days to look 996 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 2: for that access year, I would have done it.
