Beyond the Kill

On this episode, Adam is joined by Mark Dambrosio and Owen Mulder, two Marines whose combined backgrounds span the Recon, Scout Sniper, and MARSOC communities.

This is an in-depth look at the human biology and psychology that we need to understand and leverage to become more effective at tracking game and truly tune into whatever environment we find ourselves in, whether that's glassing open terrain or stalking timber/bush.

Mark and Owen also share their thoughts on survival and sustainment skills, as well as some tips for becoming more proficient with your rifle system.

On this episode, Adam goes solo and digs into how we optimize foot, ankle, and lower leg function for both day-to-day life and the backcountry, how this can impact boot selection, and how and when to go about looking into insoles and orthotics...and when not to bother.

This is the deepest dive to date on this topic and, as the show title suggests, you need to be careful dropping hundreds of dollars on any insole or similar product that may not be what you think it is or do what you think they should do.

Wardo just bought himself a new tool called the Iron Neck, which he hopes will help his patients more easily overcome whiplash and chronic tension headaches. This will be a multi-part series on how and why to strengthen your neck, whether the Iron Neck actually works, and how you can incorporate basic neck strengthening exercises into your own home treatment plan.

On this episode, Adam hosts Kyle Stelter and Chris Barker from the Wild Sheep Society of BC to talk about the BC Sheep Summit that was recently held in Prince George, BC.

With everything we're dealing with on the hunting and conservation front in BC, a new approach to dealing with the various stakeholders involved in making wildlife, habitat, and hunting based decisions is an absolute necessity. The BC Sheep Summit is a prime example of a great conservation organization taking the reins and being proactive rather than reactive.

Wardo points out the most common technical flaw in the way people train their back when doing horizontal pulling exercises. These simple tips will greatly increase strength, improve posture, especially when it comes to carrying a heavy load on your back, and have a positive impact on shoulder pain.

On this episode, Adam, Wardo, and the mastermind behind the BTK training program, Jer, discuss planning for next year and why priority-based, intentional training is critical for the dedicated mountain or backcountry hunter.

It's a wide ranging conversation covering mistakes they've all made in the past, how to assess what the right program is for wherever you are in your fitness journey, how to prioritize your training goals and methods, why cramming your fitness into a condensed timeframe is problematic, training with longevity in mind, and so much more.

Now that the most demanding hunts of the 2022 season are, for the most part, behind us, this is THE time to look back on what worked and what didn't and make adjustments to your training plans for 2023.

It's the time of year when those chronic or repetitive injuries and problem areas of the body that have stacked up over the season should be addressed.

Wardo builds on the last two podcasts regarding the low-back but now gives you some tools to figure out if your hamstrings are actually tight and part of the problem. Spoiler alert they probably aren't.
