    Ross and Adam: First CO Elk Hunt Planning Thread

    Adam wrote a detailed write up of our trip. If the success is measured by pounds of meat brought home to the family, or the size of bone growing out of a harvested animals head, we failed horribly. If success is measured by memories, lessons learned, great photos, time spent with a good...

    Ross and Adam: First CO Elk Hunt Planning Thread

    I've been going for a 5AM ruck 4-7 days a week with my pack loaded down with gravel. I've logged 93 miles with my loaded pack on in the last two months. My legs are feeling strong, I've been shooting some and trying to get my last bit of food figured out. Adam and I are even still even talking...

    The transformation....I was a fat bastard! :)

    I've went from 275 to 202, I'm 6'6" tall. Still not beast mode yet, but closer than when I was 275 back in January of this year. I'm a fat kid at heart as well. Paleo diet and some exercise for the win.

    That's awesome, my wife is slowly getting on board, and next is trying to convert my 5 and 10 year old to it. I want them to have a wonderful childhood, but even more so, believe paleo will make them have a full and healthy life. Really always happy to hear people going the paleo route.

    Ross and Adam: First CO Elk Hunt Planning Thread

    Thanks, it feels like a success already. I never imagined I'd lose 70+ pounds. Paleo diet is the reason for my success there. It's for sure a hunter's diet. If you are eating traditional western diet, like I was, going to paleo will drop a lot of dead weight off you. Paleo diet has been a...

    Ross and Adam: First CO Elk Hunt Planning Thread

    I've been getting out with my pack on for 2-3.5 miles every morning before work, every day, just something I make myself do to stay hooked up to it. I'm not giving myself the option of not doing it. I'm hiking down my street and around my town at 5 AM and am feeling stronger everyday...
