Our lives between these mountains, these mountains in our lives. #KLSS #climbinrevolution #mountainbuilt https://www.instagram.com/p/BocFQiTH7VR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tfp4l9nkmh2z

Mountain hunting gets in your blood. The possibility for real adventure is what calls me back time and time again. More than the size of the animal, for me is the size of the place. The bigger the mountains, the smaller I feel, and that is a good feeling. #livewildhunthard #hunting #mountainhunting #mountainbuilt @uahunt @vortexoptics @wilderness_athlete @gerbergear

WILDERNESS ATHLETE: Today through this weekend I will be taking over the @wilderness_athlete Instagram page. We all know the toll your body can take on long hunts. It is a game of endurance and stamina that you have to work up too and continue to maintain through out the year. For me preparation goes beyond the hunt, and outside of a gym. It is about an active lifestyle. Using free time to do similar endurance based physical activities. Ski, run, climb, kayak, surf, swim, paddle board, hike, shed hunt, backpack, bird hunt. There are alot of activities that can be done outside that engage you physically and build skills, muscle memory, and endurance, while taking advantage of being outdoors. Other than hunting what activities do you do outside? #mountainbuilt #wildernessathlete

As I load up and repack between hunts, something new gets put into the bag... well sort of new. There is probably close to 1000 days in the field taking @wildernesstlathlete Hydrate and Recover along. I pretty much have had it on every trip for years. I started using it many years ago when the current drink mixes (Gatorade or straight electrolyte pills) just didn't cut it for those long grinding hunts or day after day exertion. While guiding I would leave in August and hunt for 120 consecutive days... with no time for rest, I pushed my body to the limits and needed to make sure that I did not wear down. Being a hunter, what I fuel my body with is extremely important to me. Fresh wild meat and healthy living is key. The word Paleo scares some and excites others, but the truth is you need to find what works for you. Any supplements would not be Paleo but the principles of the ingredients in this are. If you hunt then you understand at the basic level what high quality food is, in a way many others never will. As a hunter I want the best possible ingredients and raw fuel when available. This new Hydrate and Recover excites me because it has everything that I know works with the product, while offering it in a new way. I really like the taste and the grit to it. The color is natural and the sweetness from the fruit is not overpowering. I like the rougher texture of it and the fact that it does not contain sweeteners. I think that if you give it a try or follow a paleo diet and are looking for something like this, you will be extremely happy. I will put the link in my bio for more information about it. If you want to give it a try I will give some people my personal discount code but I don't really want to blast it out so you can just direct message me if you want. There is also a new Paleo(ish) protien mix available as well. The taste is really good, which for me is a huge factor. #mountainbuilt #thisismywilderness #paleo #paleoish #huntergatherer #wildernessathlete

A remote mountain lake, a moonless night, and water so still you can see the reflection of the stars. All leading to an awesome starlapse. Anyone else as obsessed as me over the night sky? Views like this are reason enough to escape the city lights even if just for a few days and find stars bright enough to light up the ground. A milkyway so vivid you can't help but stare. If you can't be out under the stars tonight, turn down the lights, and soak this in. See if you can catch the milkyway's reflection on the water. Hopefully it will hold you over till the next time. #builtforthewild @yeti #starlapse #nightsky #milkyway #mountainbuilt @wilderness_athlete
