OK! It has been two weeks since my dive into the Keto diet and I’m feeling pretty good. I still haven’t gotten to do a legit backpacking trip with this meal plan, but am planning to in the future. It will be interesting seeing how that mashes up and how I feel. If I feel […]

I have officially started the Keto Diet and am officially one week into it! So far so good, but there has definitely been some challenges along the way. It is expected at this point. Whenever starting something new, there is an acclimation period that exists. This experience has been no exception to that. Joshua Kirchner

Clean eating sounded intimidating enough when I decided to try it out. Honestly, it was kind of overwhelming with all of the restrictions that would be put in place once I got going on it. They aren’t really a big deal from a bird’s eye view, but once you realize how many of those creature […]

Most focus in the hunting world gets put onto all things ungulate. That being deer, elk, moose, caribou, etc. Basically, all of things with antlers or horns. Rightfully so!

We are currently coming up on the middle of August as I sit here and write this.  If you are anything like me, you have been salivating for months anticipating what is to come.  I’ve been shooting my bow all year long, dialing in gear, and making sure that I stay in the best shape […]

As a person goes through the learning process of anything, I think it is only natural to want to soak up as much info as possible.  Be it through the internet, magazines, books, or just having a chat with someone that is more experienced than you on the matter.  I turned to all of these […]

The thought to increase the draw weight on my bow when I was younger was not one that ran across my mind often.  In fact, I was pretty stuck on never raising my poundage above 60 pounds.  As I went farther down the road that is bowhunting though, I quickly decided that it was something […]
