EP 526: Mountain Guides Talking Black Bears (Repost)

* 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 525: Dealing with Low Back Pain As You Ramp Up Your Training (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!

EP 517: Understanding How Your Feet, Boots & Insoles Interact

A little over a year ago, we released this episode and NOW is the time to be thinking about new boots, and more importantly, how foot function (or lack thereof) impacts boot selection and the other tools you can use to get your feet mountain ready.  So, we’re reposting this episode to help you navigate how to get everything with your feet and boots dialed for this upcoming season. Adam 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 our deepest dive ever on this topic and, it’s easy to spend hundreds of dollars and not really get what you need. --------------------------- DON’T MISS OUT ON THE BEST MOUNTAIN HUNTING TRADE SHOW & CONVENTION ON THE PLANET REGISTER FOR SHEEP SHOW DEALS & OFFERS: OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

EP510: The Grind Behind Successful Seasons with Joe Eppele

On this episode, Adam visits with “Big Joe” Eppele to hear about the busy, challenging, yet very successful season Joe’s had so far this year. As of the date this podcast was recorded, Joe had cut a Mountain Caribou tag, a Stone’s sheep tag, an elk tag, and knocked down three wolves, all before the end of October. Ya, that kind of season. It’s easy to look at someone that’s had this level of success and think, well they just got lucky, but Joe unpacks just how much time, effort, mental toughness and grit went into making good on the opportunities he was presented with on his 2023 hunts. @joe_eppele --------------------------- DEALS & OFFERS: Need boots?

EP 503: Pro Level Tracking & Observation (Repost)

With fall around the corner and the bulk of hunting seasons opening up we wanted to bring this show back to the top of our episode list. The skills of observation and tracking are two of the most important skills within the hunting community and the information shared by the guests in this episode is invaluable. We hear it all the time when it comes to sheep, goats, or any alpine dwelling species: let your eyes do the walking. Is this just a matter of patience or, is it a skill that can be acquired and mastered? And when it comes to tracking, it can be the difference between a hard lesson learned and a successful recovery. Mark Dambrosio and Owen Mulder, two Marines whose combined backgrounds span the Recon, Scout Sniper, and MARSOC communities, provide 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.

EP501: Hard Yards Podcast – Heat & Targeted Hydration

Whether it's the sheep mountains in August or the elk woods in early/mid September, it can be damned hot and it’s not hard to sweat your way to cramped muscles and a miserable time when you’re carrying a pack and hiking through the backcountry. This ain’t good for your hunting chances. Wardo goes over how to figure out your hourly sweat rate and how to hydrate appropriately. Hint, plain old water isn’t always the best answer. @drmattwarddc @hardyardsperformance ------------------------- Check out Wardo’s new VIDEO TUTORIALS and support his show.
