Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Fitness & Nutrition

As backcountry hunters, we depend on hiking to move us into, through, and out of the backcountry. We do this movement with a load on our backs — whether that’s the light load of a day’s essentials, a moderate load of gear for a multiday hunt, or the heavy load of success on our backs.

Navy SEAL, Ultrarunner, and Hunter — Chadd Wright (@chadwright278) — joins us on the latest #HuntBackcountry podcast to talk about adventure and adversity. Chadd shares how the lessons he has learned as a SEAL and Ultrarunner can help YOU as a backcountry hunter...

Our buddy Dan Solsman (@dansolsman) joins us to discuss some lessons and laughs from his 2019 hunting season. You'll hear how Dan prepared, fought through setbacks, and ultimately found success in filling his elk and deer tags in Idaho.

We have a love/hate relationship with the topic of fitness and hunting. On the one hand, we know that fitness matters and can help us hunt the backcountry more effectively. On the other hand, we get tired of the "hype" surrounding training and fitness for hunting.
