Wilderness Athlete Podcast

The goal of a wilderness athlete, put simply, is to run up a mountain, shoot an animal, and carry the animal back down. Well, that’s exactly what Train to Hunt is about. Understandably, over the past few years, there was some struggle involved in making TTH happen.

Today, the great news is that Train to Hunt is back. Kevin and Chris Denham sat down and spoke with Kenton Clairmont, one of the founders of the event, about its return and the principles behind it.

Kenton lives out in the wild, so you may hear some of the ambiance of that lifestyle in the background, but you're probably used to it. We hope you enjoy the conversation and start planning your trip to compete.

This episode of the podcast features one of our favorite people in the world. Pedro Ampuero is among the most extreme hunters alive today and has both the rap sheet and occupation to prove it as the manager of the European division of KUIU ultralight hunting.

He’s often referred to in our office as the “most interesting man in the world.” So crack open a cold Dos XX, lace up your running shoes, or set the cruise control, because this is gonna be a good one.

Willi Schmidt is a longtime friend of WA and has been a great example of the type of hunter-athlete we all strive to be. He’s had a pretty crazy year, and we thought it would be great to have him on to tell us about it.

Willi, in good health and with no pre-existing conditions, experienced a seemingly random stroke while working out - as he would on any normal day.

Thankfully, his journey to full recovery seems to be moving at a good clip. We’d like to thank Willi for sharing this story and the insights he’s gained from it. We hope you find this one as fascinating as we do. 

We sat down with the team to talk about our inner office fitness challenge, “Squid Gainz.” It was blood thirsty competitive, ridiculous at times, a little fun, and majorly eye opening. Get to know the people who make this great company possible!

Dr. Seth Bynum is a veterinarian, an avid bird hunter, and a talented photographer –  not necessarily in that order. It’s not every day when conversations with your vet and your hunting buddies can overlap, but that’s what we get when Seth sits down with us to talk about K9 health and how his interesting career came to be.

Remi Warren sits down with us at the 2022 Sheep Show to share the adventures of a new born who’s always along for the ride, his new podcast that’s about to spread its wings, and the big bull and culinary tricks of 2021.

CrossFit Games athlete, Director of Athletic Performance at Tennessee Tech, and avid outdoorsman Matt Hewett drops some knowledge on us from his lifelong career of building muscle, endurance, and speed. Without a doubt, there are some invaluable tips to pull from this podcast that you can take into your own pre-season training.

Tana Grena and her brother Trevor Schneider recount the “this is how it ends” moments following 3 well placed shots then a jammed rifle on a 1,000+ pound Alaska Brown Bear. Running for their lives and retrieving a pistol that fell in the snow, they lived to tell the story with luck on their side and a few well placed rocks that gave them cover. We’ve all heard intense bear stories when the hunter turns into the hunted. Few will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up like this one and leave you in awe of the strength and will of the largest bears on earth.

Living hundreds of miles from the nearest road system in remote bush Alaska, Tana Grenda has a different need than most for staying fit, healthy, and prepared. As a pilot, parent, hunter, podcaster, and nutrition and fitness coach, you won’t meet many people who take life head-on like Tana.

Over the course of this pandemic, there has been a mind-numbing volume of information thrown at us, some good, some bad, and some just plain stupid. We sit with Carla Denham, a board-certified psychiatrist and palliative care doctor, to discuss the foundations of our health, immune system, the mind-body connection, and how stress plays a huge role in all of it.
