This episode brings Adam Foss on to the show. From his early days hunting bighorns in Alberta, to his many trips to the High North and his career at Seacat Creative, Adam has charted a path less traveled for the bulk of his young life.
As the youngest hunter to achieve his archery FNAWS, Adam's sheep and mountain hunting resume is hard to argue with. But this episode isn't about killing sheep.
The two Adams spend the bulk of the podcast digging in on the priceless nature of time spent in the backcountry with family and friends and the future of hunting media. From films to photography and podcasting there;s a message behind everything we put out there as an industry.
Adam's insights from behind the lens and from within the media business are not to be missed.
In episode 9 Adam welcomes retired Navy SEAL Eric Frohardt on to the show. Eric is now the CEO of StrongFirst, a company widely regarded as the worldwide leader in kettlebell, barbell and bodyweight strength training techniques. In this episode we dive into the concept of “strength serving a greater purpose”.
Eric and I get into his time in the SEALs, in particular his experience with a variety of training approaches in preparation for deployments and how he came to be exposed to Strong First’s founder Pavel Tsatsouline.
We dig in on why training for long duration endeavors “under load” requires a different training approach than many think and the principles and methods that have made StrongFirst instructors some of the most sought after consultants to the world’s elite military and law enforcement units.
Eric also explains how his experience in the SEALs now applies to his training approach for his favourite “civvie” hobby: mountain hunting.
This is a no BS discussion about truly field applicable training techniques with someone that has trained for and survived some of the toughest environments on the planet.
