    Weight training programs

    I’m a big fan of the Mountain Tactical programming. Probably an overwhelming amount of options on their website, but if you email Rob with a description of where you are fitness wise and what you’re trying to accomplish he’s pretty good about steering you in the right direction.

    Exact same experience with the exact same set up… couldn’t be happier.

    Eating Wild Hog

    When it comes to eating hog, the appropriately titled “Hog Book” is pretty comprehensive. https://www.thewildbooks.com/

    Throwing my hat in the ring for the Garmin Instinct Solar. I have the original model, but I’ve heard the newer version is a little more functional (especially the flashlight feature, believe it or not). For how I use it, the Fenix is overkill. I used a Suunto Ambit3 Peak before I switched to...

    Incorporating step ups

    Lots of good intel in this thread. For what it’s worth, in the winter when it’s cold and dark and I don’t feel like getting out for a ruck or trail run, I’ll do 30-45 min of weighted step ups while watching an episode of something or listening to a podcast or audiobook. Cheaper than buying a...

    MTN Tough compared to MTI

    I haven’t done their backcountry program but MTI is my go-to for programming. I like Rob’s approach for event-specific programming— the a tough hunt is a tough hunt: it doesn’t care if you only have 30 minutes a day to train, or you work a night shift, or you’re not in your 20s anymore… it’s...

    Free Workout Program

    I am training for an open water swim in June, but if you’re still looking for folks to test this summer I am in. I’ve done similar testing for some of the other “mountain” programs and always enjoy being a guinea pig.

    How can I like the taste of venison

    Echo a lot of the comments already — if you’re not processing your deer correctly right after the shot, there’s a higher likelihood of off-tasting meat. I’d recommend picking up a copy of Hank Shaw’s “Buck, Buck, Moose” cookbook which not only has a ton of unreal recipes, but also gets heavily...

    FNG in New England

    My brother- and sister-in-law are in your former neck of the woods — great spot! Were south of the pike but similar distance to Boston. That being said, I grew up in Florida and came up for school — and haven’t figured out how to leave since!

    We bounced around some spots in Stowe. Much better than any snow near me for sure.

    Thanks! I’m down in MA but doing my best to do some hunting across the area. Was up XC skiing your way a few weeks ago!

    FNG in New England

    Hey all — just introducing myself here. I’m an “emerging” hunter, picking up bowhunting in my 30s. Always spent a ton of time outdoors, hiking, enjoying nature. I was interested in hunting, but never had anyone I knew who did — finally said screw it and decided to learn on my own. I’m two...
