"Your direct boss is stealing time and resources from her employer.
You informed the next person up the chain, which is all you can be expected to do. It isn't your job to hold your superior accountable. Unless you plan on being at this company long term I would keep my head down unless...
Great job! I'm supportive of anyone working to get into shape, regardless of how they choose to do it.
I guess I would be considered as more of a 'traditional program' guy as I predominantly weight train but also mix in cardio in the forms of biking, walking, rucking and hiking.
But...
History repeats itself...just look at this issue in regards to the Gaza Strip. Firearms have been controlled so much there that knives became the weapon of choice by default. Now, people in that area can't even buy a set of steak knives without being registered.
Glad to read that things are looking up for you physically, and really glad to read that you discovered hunting! It's never too late to take up an endeavor you are interested in and if we as hunters don't get more people interested...it will be bad down the road.
I'm one of the biggest...
Personally, based on my experiences: I prefer a travel trailer for this simple fact - we are not limited on pulling it.
I've got a hitch set up on my 3/4 ton pu and I also have everything set up on my wife's 'Burb. This has really been helpful for those weekends that can turn into long...
"Up your salt intake alittle, should help retain some water for the harder workouts. I had to the same thing as I started to train more."
- This is a great point, it's so easy to follow the conventional train of thought that when you are getting in shape or training that salt is your nemesis!
Another option in the Sage and Edge market is a Mountaineer 2.0 by OMP (October Mountain Products). It is a takedown recurve.
I too went traditional not too long ago. It's been awesome and I'm having more fun shooting now than I had in 20 + years of shooting compounds.
I started out with a...
Another vote for David Long's book here...good insight.
I've also read Elk Hunting the West the Eastman Way - IMHO it was good, but I only picked out a couple of new ideas; great book if you are new to elk hunting though.
I can associate with your story - I was in great shape (for me) going into the 2017 season. But as soon as December hit, it was like I turned a switch off and totally slacked unit the first week of January...but then I was able to step it up from then on.
Good luck to you and don't give up...
My training was going super well until pulling my trap a couple weeks ago...but fortunately, I'm on the mend now.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I sure am glad to see the first signs of spring here in Northern MT! I've really enjoyed being able to get out and take some great walks...
Over the years, my two big regretts have been low to mid cost spotting scopes and clothing....
It seems like I've been constantly been upgrading those two items for years.
- I also have a Hanes quote printed out in large font on a makeshift poster that I hung up. I like this one tho and will have to put it to use. I also found a good use for my old hunting mags; I have a huge collage of inspirational pictures hanging all around my workout room.
Holy cow! I've never pulled one of these before... so I didn't know what to expect.
Still not exactly sure how I did it...but I did it with flying colors. Prior to the injury, I had been stepping up my mid-winter workout routine nice and gradually, so I'm still not convinced it was workout...
My good luck charm is my father's wool scarf that he was issued when he served in WWII. He made it back unscathed after being at war for 3 years (at least physically, unfortunately, I wouldn't say that mentally). I pack that scarf for everywhere / everything I hunt.
I have degenerative disk disease...and had a microdisectomy about 11 years ago now. Then three years ago, I had another issue and had to have a disk fused.
I'll spare you all the nitty-gritty details and just offer a basic summary, based on my experiences:
1) They'll tell you that you may...
