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...
Just like cramming before a test. I haven't posted for a bit, but my exercise and diet have brought me to 80 pounds lost and I feel in better shape than I have for a long time.

Also I have made a couple knives for Adam and I to use, still need to get the sheaths...
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...
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.
I've been wanting to increase my weight in my pack, right now its full of miscelanous gear, and total weight is about 45ish pounds. I have several pairs of jeans that are too big for me now. So I grabbed a knife and some cordage and filled them full of gravel. The two bags weigh about 61...
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.
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...
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...
I didn't see it mentioned, but has anyone used the Amazon Basics Compact carbon fiber. 2.4# 54" height and right at 80$. Be good for setting down and glassing.
I've never experienced any sickness from elevation. I do experience the lack of oxygen and shortness of breath. I hope to do well when I'm camping for multiple days on end above 11,000 feet. The paleo diet I practice, I drink lots of water, and always try to drink more yet while in the mountains.
My wife and I managed to hit Colorado for a few days over the holiday weekend. Touring and scouting answered many of my questions and created many more. I look forward to hunting it in 3 months 7 days 7 hours and give or take some minutes. Here are a few pics.
It all is starting to fall in...
