I feel a bit too thick. And I'm afraid if I cut weight, I'll fail. Worse - part of me doesn't think I deserve to look fit. That's the real issue. So here's what I'm doing: confronting it head on through discipline. Cut carbs by 30%. Use fat as fuel. Do the Fit to Hunt exercises I'm sharing on YouTube. Lean out. Teach myself to love the new body through the work. This isn't about vanity. It's about discipline. It's about proving to myself I can do hard things. If you're in the same place, the Fit to Hunt series is for you too, a casual series on getting fit for hunting and cutting some excess so I am carrying less of my big ass up a tree. :)

"You Know You Should Get In Shape For Hunting... But How?"
Every year I hear some hunter say "I gotta get in better shape for this" — but they don't know how. How to program it, how to schedule it, which exercises are best, which are most efficient. It's a lot, but I understand it — it's my language.
I understand kinesiology, physiology, and the metabolic pathways we use in hunting, and I want to help you get in better shape so you can enjoy hunting more.
Fit To Hunt is coming soon.

Looks like a Cult.🤣
I had the honor to teach at the Annual Firefly Gathering in Green Mountain last weekend and had to post this laughing moment. Students were learning my method to find time or South using the upright finger method. Not sure what to name the method. Any suggestions?

Dear Facebook, we need to talk. I've been seeing other platforms. 🤣TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Skool—they just get me. I may come by and say hello from time to time but for now, if you wanna connect, you know where to find me.

ONE TOOL YOU DEFINITELY NEED
Episode 1: One small tool that can prevent a great time from turning into a painful, miserable experience. Three days into a backcountry trip, a tiny injury in your palm or fingertip becomes inflamed, painful, and infected. Simple tasks - knife work, fire starting, tying knots - all become miserable. This tool solves the problem clean and keeps you moving. Single-use, but absolutely worth it. Watch to see what it is.

Dad hack: sawdust + ferro rod = instant fire.

Real talk: I'm one person trying to bring value to families. No marketing team, no endless budget. Just me putting this out there. I won't be posting about this a hundred times. The value is here - Father & Son Shelter Building Workshop and Wilderness Adventure Weekend at pikedantlerproject.com. If you see it, sn**ch it up. If you don't, that's fine too. All I can do is make it available. The rest is up to you.
June 12-14th in Waynesville, NC.

I hope you never have to find out. I hope you never have to find out how long you can hang in there if you’re ever in a survival situation of any sort. But if you do I hope this video can give you some hope to hang in there a bit longer.
There’s a reason my slogan is “Stay Alive as Long as You Can.”
