 Adam sits down with Wardo to talk about his new venture This Is Coffee, which he and his business partner created to solve a longstanding need for those of us that appreciate truly good coffee in the backcountry, on the road, or whenever the mood strikes. Yes, it is possible (finally) to get good instant coffee.    No podcast with Wardo would be complete without talking about training, injuries, and taking care of your body so, the boys also dig into these topics as well.    @thisiscoffee.ca    @drmattwarddc    ---------------------------    SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:    Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.    DEALS & OFFERS:    OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

EP 527: Bears, Rattlers & Spring Training

 It’s looking like this year’s black bear season will get an early start in terms of snowmelt and green up, at least in BC, so with this in mind, we dug up an episode from last spring where Nolan and fellow mountain guide Jared Christon discuss all things black bears. If you’re getting the itch to get out and chase these fascinating critters, there’s plenty in this episode for you.    @nmo    @canadian_black_bear_taxidermy    ---------------------------    SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:    Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.    DEALS & OFFERS:    OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

EP 526: Mountain Guides Talking Black Bears (Repost)

 Well, it seems like spring has finally arrived and that means it’s time to start getting serious about this season’s hunt prep. Meaning, you should be dialling back the strength focused workouts and introducing more rucking or running. With this, low back pain can be a common complaint. The lower abdominals are key to a pain free low back so, in this (reposted) episode, Wardo explains how to train and assess them, and get that low back ready for the backcountry.    @drmattwarddc      @hardyardsperformance    ---------------------------    SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:    Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.    DEALS & OFFERS:    OnX Maps is now available in Canada!
