I’M SORRY.

I’m sorry to all of you who are named here, and those who are unnamed, that we are not doing better by you.

I’m sorry that while people they seem to have stopped caring as much about your sacrifice and your family’s losses.

I’m sorry that 34 people wouldn’t make eye contact with us on the 110-floor climb.

I’m sorry another 9/11 has come and gone and we are no better than we were last time.

I’m sorry.

Many will say something can’t be done…because they were afraid to try.

The first ever (as far as I can tell) BMW 1250GS passenger-peg rifle mount and hunting expedition setup was a huge success. 600+ miles ridden on pavement, dirt, gravel, washboards, etc (just to get to the trailhead and start hiking in) without a single hiccup thanks to the design and quality of of this USA made case.

Yes…it would have been FAR easier to do the trip in an SUV…but where is the fun in that?

Do hard things BECAUSE they are hard and you might accidentally have fun!

Labor Day means more than simply a Monday off...it is the day that everyone has the chance to recognize and thank our laborers for the work they do “keeping the lights on”.

I, for one, am eternally grateful to the trades...since they built my family.

My grandfather spent 40+ years as a lineman for My father spent 40+ as an electrician with My brother is an EHS Field Manager in

We are communicating literally right now on this platform because of every single trade worker and union doing the work that NEEDS to be done. It is not easy. It is not “social media sexy”. But it might just be the most important work of any kind, any where.

Thank you to all our brother and sister laborers from yesterday that got us here, today that keep us here and tomorrow who are taking us where we need to be going.

*Also…that light atop the Koin Tower…yeah…Dad put that fixture there almost 40-years ago.

ADULTS ONLY.

It still boggles my mind the insane amount of GARBAGE "programming" being sold at record rates in the fitness industry. Everyone is now an expert in selling you the answer to your lacking strength and conditioning with their 30-day fad programs, 45-day fixes and individual workout challenges/competitions. Most of the "successes" in these programs are in spite of the program not because of it.

I am not glib to the fact these have always been a presence in fitness.

It is clear the trend of selling "6-week this" or "90-day that" are the only conversations being had and promoted through these channels. There are a few grownups in the room, like and and who are pushing back against this tidal wave...but folks like us are losing.

My good friend, a Yoda-level Oly coach, used to say, "nothing new has been invented in fitness since the Greeks," and he was right. NOTHING you see on this platform is revolutionary or a "secret" that only that huckster selling it knows. This industry is built on profiting from you being a desperate, uneducated sucker that will pay a LOT for your salvation to be handed to you.

The programming and coaching I do for first responders, military and general civilians is a synthesis of everything I have learned from all the names I listed above as well as my real-world and academic background. I have never given a damn about chasing the sales dragon in fitness and never will. This gives me with the freedom to program and EDUCATE people who want to take the correct path forward.

I received this message a few days ago from someone I have been working with 100% remotely in the ecosystem. You can read for yourself what he achieved. If you read between those lines you will see that NONE of it came from some truncated plan, just consistent work day after day to EARN his award and finish at the top of his academy class. His closing statement "Time to keep grinding" is the answer to how EVERYONE should view training.

Be an adult. Educate yourself. Ignore the bu****it trends. Just do the next thing. Don't fu***ng quit.

Everyone knows our stance on archery and what has and continues to mean to our community.

Archery is a tool that empowers discipline, hard work, resiliency, precision and commitment to succeed in. Is this not the EXACT type of activity kids should have an opportunity to learn in school?

Whether you partake or not, this is a monumentally important situation impacting everyone that ALL sides need to come together on and sustain in our schools.

Please read and listen!

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I KNOW NOTHING - SOCRATES

The irony of trying to be a good parent…the more you do it the more you realize how much you need to get the hell out of the way. 

Parents SHOULD do everything possible so our kids become better versions of ourselves. The only way I know to do that is to try and put this girl in front of people far more competent, capable and worthy of her time than I am. 

Our relationship with is built on this foundation. Wayne and Lisa have created an environment of inclusivity and engagement not bound by any prejudice nor entitlement. Who you are is more than good enough for them and their family, no matter what, when you walk through those doors. 

This community is what gave Gabbi the chance to spend time with the icon thanks to Lisa. She could tell from Gabbi’s eyes how amazed she was to see the legend at work from across the shop. When Lisa asked if Gabbi wanted to meet him, all the normally hyper-verbal child could do was nod yes. 

With no hesitation, Mr. Hanes spent an incredible amount of time talking and sharing with Gabbi as though she was one of his own. He genuinely wanted to hear her story and how she made it to be there that day. His words of empowerment and wisdom left Gabbi borderline speechless. 

Back on the road she asked if she could shoot the competitive courses at the instead of the recreational she originally signed up for. I asked what made her change her mind since she was “too nervous” for that two months ago. Her response…

“Because Mr. Hanes believes I can.”

She walked away from the weekend with greater confidence in her capabilities and met amazing new friends. Inconsequentially, she also collected two 1st place finishes and a 2nd place finish in ALL the competitive courses for the Under-18 Female Bowhunter class. That was only possible because of Lisa and Cam who clearly know far more than I do…and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 


Jake & Gabby stopped by the shop on their way to   was in the shop and chatted with them both and we got this pic! &bows

Wife. Mother. Grandmother. WARRIOR.

Someone far more educated and emotionally mature would have a more eloquent way of expressing the feelings I have and share with our entire Forge Family when we heard Nicole died yesterday morning.

Unfortunately that person isn’t me and the only thing I can manage to keep saying repeatedly is F**K YOU CANCER WE HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.

Nicole fought this war until the absolute end, receiving experimental T-cell treatment in an all-out, last ditch effort to buy more time with her family. Today would have been her 46th birthday.

She deserved that time. Her family deserved that time. Cancer stole what was rightfully theirs.

To her family, we are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Again, I lack the words to adequately describe the impact she had on our community every day. Please know that everything she was and represented to you inside the walls of your home, she was that and more out here to us.

We have some pretty tough people with incredible resolve in our community; warfighters, cops, firefighters, Cancer survivors. They all agree Nicole was far stronger and more fearless than anyone we have ever known.

She chose to take this battle head-on and fight it. She will forever inspire everyone here to do more than they think is possible. She was our WARRIOR.

PRIVILEGE

This word has been weaponized by so many people in the last few years it has transformed into something today that denotes a person or group’s toxicity, poison or…dare I say…evil.

You know what is impossibly ironic though? It is because of PRIVILEGE these overly loud troupes of idiots can become so polarizing and conflict-happy.

PRIVILEGE is what gives them the ability to be publicly stupid without fear of being stoned to death for dissenting opinions. PRIVILEGE is what gave them the technological platforms with which they can spread their message…no matter how astute or stupid.

PRIVILEGE is also what 56 men and countless women behind the scenes had 247-years ago today when they signed the Declaration of Independence. Everyone who signed and supported that document had the PRIVILEGE of making their own decision and choice to take a stand against England and declare the United States of America would be a land of FREEDOM.

FREEDOM to choose, right or wrong, the paths an individual would walk in their life. The FREEDOM to work together with fundamentally opposed persons to reach a middle ground. To be able to look across the aisle from someone you vehemently disagree with, and yet still have respect for and work with, as a fellow Citizen of the greatest nation ever because of our overwhelming commonalities.

Whether you were born in this country, immigrated or snuck in, you are PRIVILEGED to be here because of our FREEDOM. No other country in human history has come close to the levels of success and social progress as this one. That is something we need to remember as we head into year 248.

Flying our brother’s flag in our gym, a flag which saw dozens of deployments in active war zones across the globe over the last 20+ years, is a PRIVILEGE for us because of what it represents…those who have willingly given the greatest sacrifices imaginable over the last 247-years so that we may have the FREEDOMS we live under daily.

It is time we start taking this PRIVILEGE seriously again and use it to build more ideological bridges, “hand in hand across the nation” so the next 247-years can be even greater than the first.

Happy birthday America🇺🇸
