Ep. 28: Spike Camp – You Can Never Be Too Prepared For The Mountains

00:00:00
Speaker 1: It is a cool thing that in the off season we do have some of these challenges, or I think it is important to have these challenges. You know, a lot of guys are probably guys and girls are getting ready for Spring Bear right now too, or Turkey. You know, they are both pretty physically demanding hunts, depending on what part of the country you’re in. So I think, you know, fitness is a huge part of that. In the phase of Mayhem Hunt we are right now from the training platform is kind of a building slash strength phase, I would say, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t plug and play some of the different things that we’re trying to do and add on. You know, like Scott is probably doing what we would call general physical preparedness, which what Mayhem Hunt track is. So you’re doing a lot of CrossFit, but you also have this like side quest. You do a lot of side quests, and so your side quest right now is kind of training for a five k.

00:00:55
Speaker 2: Out here.

00:00:56
Speaker 1: The stakes are real. Effective preparation starts with fitness, but it requires so much more. This show explores the tools, knowledge, resilience, and skills needed to be ready when it matters the most. Join me Rich Browning as we apply the decades of wisdom I’ve gained through training and competition to hunting in the back country. This is in Pursuit, brought to you by Mouth Knocks in collaboration with Mayhem Hunt. All right, Spike Camp. This is post high ground beef chips. Yes, yeah, cool, cool, good dudes. Yeah, good product, really good product.

00:01:39
Speaker 2: I’ve eaten a lot of beef chips since the episode.

00:01:41
Speaker 1: A lot of beef chips. You’re looking pretty beefy. Actually, you’re on a run progression right now? Right? Are you sidelining that?

00:01:48
Speaker 2: I’m still kind of doing it. I just backed off a little bit.

00:01:51
Speaker 1: So.

00:01:51
Speaker 2: I was supposed to raise one of our coworkers in a five k in April, but we think we’re actually going to push it back to June to try to some more people involved in the race.

00:02:02
Speaker 1: We have a Scott Mandersluit usually behind the camera, Yes on the on the hot seat. We have yes Josh bird bergeron as well, and then we’ve got Dods behind the camera. Uh that will interject some questions because we don’t really know where this episode is gonna go, but well.

00:02:20
Speaker 2: Really desperate. Then Jeff wind up in the seat.

00:02:22
Speaker 1: This kind of this kind of leads into our culture at Mayhem call outs. I would say that happens pretty frequently. We are fitness company first. Hunting is was something we I wouldn’t say added well, we definitely added it later, but it’s a it’s a pursuit that we we kind of go after, so depending on time of the year. But I think that’s a huge part of the culture slash community that we try to cultivate at Mayhem is like you’re training for something always.

00:02:52
Speaker 2: Well, also there’s there speaking to the culture. There’s this kind of rule of like agreeing to challenge is right. So interesting this happened because Jake and I were just talking trash about who’s a better runner. Well, at some point you have to answer for it around here. So I told him that anything between I think, I said, ten yards and one hundred miles I can beat him at. Yeah, And this was the distance he chose five k yeah, which I wouldn’t have recommended personally if I was to like pick my weaknesses at least with him.

00:03:25
Speaker 1: With you fast seventeen ten? Did you say yourself?

00:03:27
Speaker 2: So no, I’m trying to run sub eighteen this time I ran when I was a one hundred and eighty pound high school soccer player. I did run in the mid sixteen. I could not sniff that now. Yeah, but but you’re also to like to ten to ten. Yeah, there’s Jake at wait wise speed. Oh, I have no idea.

00:03:47
Speaker 1: I hope he’s not faster than this morning. He ran an eight to fifteen for seven miles, which is probably a long slow run.

00:03:53
Speaker 3: Which, yeah, it’s pretty fast for me.

00:03:55
Speaker 1: It’s fast for me.

00:03:57
Speaker 2: Where’s the hybrid athlete now too?

00:03:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I’ve been running just for time, not for distance. At first we started doing like the track, but then me and Watkins was like, let’s just run for like thirty five minutes a day.

00:04:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do thirty five minutes every day except for the last two weeks when you were gone and.

00:04:19
Speaker 3: Didn’t when I was vacationing with my family.

00:04:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, for two weeks.

00:04:22
Speaker 2: At Universal, Watkins is trying to help Bird along and keep him out of the nursing huse.

00:04:27
Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, He’s like, I gotta go help Bird.

00:04:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:04:30
Speaker 1: So on Hunt there’s you know tracks or CrossFit based tracks, and then you have Angela’s been doing a hybrid type thing where hybrid just means you run into bodybuilding, so that’s on their straight bodybuilding and then there’s straight bodybuilding. Yeah, so a little bit of everything. Yeah, we’re doing a two person twenty four hour relay on the trails out here. We have two three mile trails and I’m gonna add some bench in there as well, just because nobody wants see it, like to victim weighty. You know. It’s kind of on par with with who we are. So everybody is running a lot more as of late. And I’m also training for a iron Man, which sounds like Watkins might be not to.

00:05:14
Speaker 2: That iron Man is happening to like Peak white Tail right.

00:05:16
Speaker 1: Peak white pre a little bit. Yeah, maybe depends.

00:05:19
Speaker 2: I mean, it depends where you are, I guess.

00:05:21
Speaker 3: And he was going around yesterday asking for sponsors.

00:05:24
Speaker 1: Oh was he collecting? Did he get in?

00:05:27
Speaker 3: I don’t think so.

00:05:28
Speaker 1: That’s so right. Yeah, So that’s kind of where we are our current current happenings current events. Just went to NWTF National Wild Turkey Federation Expo Conference. Man, that place is popping.

00:05:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were more of a drop in there, but we were dropping it both through. Yeah, true, but we went on Thursday. So in theory, the least trafficked to day and it was packed.

00:05:55
Speaker 1: Pretty cool stuff going on there. Then we flew that night to aut Lake, went to Western Hunt. The two I did two podcasts. Angelo did a podcast. Sounds like we we weaseled our way into a couple of hunts. Hopefully, so we do within that that couple of days. Maybe, Well, definitely gonna do an axis in Texas low low fence, which you know.

00:06:24
Speaker 3: They can jump jump the fence.

00:06:26
Speaker 1: It’s just a you’re basically on a lease and these are obviously access that did get out of a high fence at some point. You just don’t know when. Awesome fun hunt and uh.

00:06:39
Speaker 3: I don’t think anybody’s judging.

00:06:41
Speaker 1: I’m just saying I guarantee if people judging, but they’d be judging a little more if they saw what’s outside of your barn right now? Yeah for sure. Uh yeah. Tennessee has allowed feeders, well allegedly, we’ll see what happens.

00:06:57
Speaker 2: Just preparing in the event that it happens.

00:07:00
Speaker 3: Deploy. Yeah, there’s actually some pretty uh major feeders. Yeah.

00:07:05
Speaker 1: Sweet. When we went to in Texas, they were like, hey, this is what you should get.

00:07:09
Speaker 2: When does the decision? When is the decision made? On that.

00:07:12
Speaker 1: I think in June. I think the rule, I think it’s been passed by the House. It was passed, but they have not like attached rules to it, like how much and all that type of stuff. This is more for off season supplemental currently, but.

00:07:26
Speaker 2: But if it does go through, it would be good.

00:07:27
Speaker 1: To have, Yeah for sure.

00:07:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might hunt at your house, then you might. Yeah, here we go take care take care of some does.

00:07:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, we’ve got a couple couple of food plots and then you know, throughout the year, just depending on what we’re doing, we’ll deploy these. So got that, and then possibly uh that country spring bear archery hunt, which would be a ton of fun but will be pretty uh, pretty involved.

00:07:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was was it mule deer in Arizona?

00:08:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, mule deer. That will be in uh, it’ll be in January. It’s kind of a group of local guys. But got invited possibly onto that too, so that’ll be a ton of fun. I’ve never I’ve never solely hunted for mule deer. We’ve always we had one tag. One time we had a landowner tag.

00:08:20
Speaker 2: You’ve drawn back on one mule deer?

00:08:22
Speaker 1: We did, and then your release broke. We won’t say the release.

00:08:27
Speaker 4: But it yeah, we wouldn’t want it.

00:08:32
Speaker 1: No, it wasn’t uh, I guess no, what was that. I don’t remember. It was a finger at that point, and it is just yeah, we won’t won’t get into that. But yeah, so got the mule deer hunt hopefully so that’ll be added to the adventures this fall.

00:08:51
Speaker 2: This is the time of year where there’s like all this build up going out to Western hunt and now there’s like the excitement of like coming back with fresh hopes and some new hunts on the books, trying to figure out what the season is going to look like.

00:09:03
Speaker 1: Trying to make sure the dates align, you know, trying to make.

00:09:06
Speaker 2: Sure you’re not like gone too much to where you might come home and not have a family anymore. All the things you need to consider.

00:09:12
Speaker 1: All yeah, like what what’s the period between each hunt that we can like justify without getting murdered.

00:09:20
Speaker 2: How fast we need to make the access hunt in order to go on the bear hunts you want to go. But the bear hunt too is like for me is exciting because I do think there’s like if you do it with a bow. To me, as someone uneducated on the subject, it would seem like a very low likelihood of success for sure, but like very low, like maybe you should carry a rifle and a bow. But it does seem like a like a good adventure would be be excellent content, which is what I’m here.

00:09:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, what what percentage are you you think that bear hunt is going to happen?

00:09:59
Speaker 2: Uh? I don’t know. Fifty to fifty that’s a good Yeah, it’s a good one.

00:10:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:10:03
Speaker 2: I wouldn’t go any lower than that yet, No, not yet, succeet. I’m not talking success.

00:10:07
Speaker 1: Success rates way lower, but yeah, I’m.

00:10:09
Speaker 2: Talking like fifty to fifty show up at the trailhead. Yeah, success rate thirty much lower twenties.

00:10:15
Speaker 4: I know that we definitely will see bears, just both.

00:10:19
Speaker 1: Species of bearri you’re worried about.

00:10:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that that should be fun. And then we still haven’t necessarily like locked in the fall yet, but if kind of like what our current plan comes through, it will be it will be a fun fall as well.

00:10:35
Speaker 1: Archery antelope hopefully and hopefully to archery elk. Definitely a rifle elk with either a cow slash bull tag, maybe a muleier tag in there, and then hopefully a lot of white tail.

00:10:50
Speaker 2: The good news about this year is typically how it works with the Crossfay game schedules. They’ll have like the first or second weekend of August, and so our whole company has to be gonever that is, and it makes it harder to hunt antelope because then you only have about two weeks between that and the start of uh Archery out this month. It’s at the end of July, so we have a whole.

00:11:13
Speaker 1: Three month technically, because it restarts our days restart August first.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, so we have a whole month of of So if we can just plan the travel, right, we can, because you did have the archery antelope tag last year. Yeah, but but it was too much traveling and.

00:11:26
Speaker 1: We had the games early August and then and then we had a couple of other trips in the fall that we’ve we’ve caabached any travel other than hunting in the fall, minus if I have to go to Rogue.

00:11:39
Speaker 2: So yeah, it should be good.

00:11:42
Speaker 1: Yep.

00:11:43
Speaker 5: Also, I guess we’ll get into any tags at Western Hunt.

00:11:48
Speaker 1: No, I didn’t really know that was a thing until after it was too late, I guess. Yeah, what was the question if we put in for any tags.

00:11:54
Speaker 2: Out you didn’t want to like put in for like the.

00:11:58
Speaker 5: No no, no, it’s it’s a different system. You go into a booth and you just sign it. It’s like two hundred dollars and it’s like a.

00:12:05
Speaker 3: Two hundred tags.

00:12:06
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, but there’s some really awesome tags.

00:12:09
Speaker 4: Somehow, some way, randomly, Remy Warren has won in three times.

00:12:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, somehow, somehow.

00:12:15
Speaker 2: Some way, randomly, we did.

00:12:18
Speaker 1: We got meet got to meet Pedro. Pedro was a myth or a legend in the hunting space, a myth. I thought he was a myth.

00:12:25
Speaker 3: Until then until you saw it.

00:12:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, good dude, got to hang out with some other got to see Jeff Helm and Jake Helm. Good dudes. Yeah, I guess too.

00:12:37
Speaker 4: We can.

00:12:38
Speaker 1: We can tease the h I think last time we talked about.

00:12:40
Speaker 2: The specifically, did the Elon Musk thing where you set everyone into a sprint and publicly?

00:12:47
Speaker 1: Has it worked? I think so it’s worked. I think Angelo’s got it pretty much nailed down.

00:12:52
Speaker 2: So yeah, well he’s not here, so he must be working at it right now.

00:12:56
Speaker 1: Is that today? No, he’s doing something. He’s with Madison. I thought, uh yeah, so hunt camp very vague very.

00:13:03
Speaker 3: Loose, some good calls with people yes ten to talk to elite yesterday yep. So everyone will get full bow set up, full bow set up with arrows and everything. So I think the way it will work is when they sign up, you’ll give very small specifics draw length or close to your draw length, draw weight right or left hand, and then from there they’ll ship us the bows basically set up. So then there all we have to do is just tune them a little.

00:13:36
Speaker 1: Bit, peeps all that stuff.

00:13:38
Speaker 3: So we’ll do all that on site and then we just the only thing we have to figure out is we’re trying to get hard cases for everybody so they can bring them home or if people just bring their own heart case.

00:13:52
Speaker 2: Should talk about too, like who Obviously anyone could sign up, but like who are you targeting in terms of like we we are targeting, Yeah, but who’s the who’s the target person to come to that?

00:14:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it’s I would say beginner to novice. You know. The tentative plan would be show up on Thursday evening. We’ve got a place in Colorado. Show up Thursday evening. There’s a couple of cabins so guys can stay in one of the cabins, or we’ve talked about doing like a like maybe a rotation of like setting up a camp slash whatever. We haven’t finalized those details, but you’d be there all day Friday, all day Saturday, and then leave mid morning midday Sunday. A couple of breakouts, so it be fitness in the morning, Mayham Hunt’s style stuff, and then we’ll have alternating breakouts glassing, maybe archery stuff. We haven’t nailed down, depends on who comes and who we bring, but like you know, go up glass a little bit, kind of learn what you’re looking for. How to you know, be more efficient with that type of stuff, scout outing things e Scouting then going and actually you know, getting feet on the ground.

00:15:05
Speaker 4: What are some of the other ones.

00:15:06
Speaker 1: We’ve got a whole list of just different things. Yeah, but I’m thinking of breakouts, so we’d have some different breakouts based on that. We might set up a three D archery course similar I wouldn’t say attack, but like eight or nine targets in different situations, varying situations. We might do that, maybe have sig in on some rifles hopefully yes, if not, we’ll definitely get them on some glass, slash, range finders, those types of things, get some eyes on those which those self leveling myos are incredible. And then depending on what breakout you do or whatever, what we’d all come back early afternoon and we got a pretty good rock.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: Circle, you know, just a couple of different routes.

00:15:47
Speaker 1: We do a couple different routes, slash different fitness levels. We might be able to do. What else we would all do that, uh, come back together that night. Jason would cook some food and just hanging out. I have father Stephen come out talk about Jesus a little bit, and all of us just kind of, you know, do the thing.

00:16:03
Speaker 3: I thought about one thing, What do you think as far as like do you think a ruck is just better? Or if we got some of those like fake hond quarters and did that one day, well I think you had it.

00:16:16
Speaker 1: Like well, I think what we do is we we maybe sprinkle some implements along the trail, and once you get there, you’ve got to do a task, you know, pick up some sandbags, carry some sand bags up the hill, you know, between two people, partner back and forth. Whatever. But like, yeah, it wouldn’t just be a rock rock but well but.

00:16:36
Speaker 3: Even just to have those We day put it at the bottom of the mountain, just to like say, okay, this is pretty much what’s going to be. Like maybe if you don’t work out it at least let you know, hey, I need.

00:16:48
Speaker 1: To work out.

00:16:49
Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean, I don’t.

00:16:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think we could do all kinds of different things. The point would be, hey, let’s get some fitness, but not bury people to you know, like you pack something out for a lot of people. We would obviously, uh, you know, adjust to our crowd. But yeah, the idea would be super small intimate group fifteen twenty something like that, So it could be a be a ton of fun. So looking looking like early.

00:17:15
Speaker 3: Like Scott, small intimate group.

00:17:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, talking too, and you’re thinking like in terms of hunter level.

00:17:22
Speaker 1: I would say beginner, novice. I think you know you’re getting.

00:17:25
Speaker 2: Into it to the western hunt.

00:17:26
Speaker 1: Western hunting obviously leaning. We have talked to Cruiser about doing you know, coming out and showing how to use a saddle with shaddles moving west, saddles moving west, but it can also be east. So I think I think one. I think it’s guys that are either flirting with or have been like I would say guys who have never been on a Western hunt.

00:17:46
Speaker 3: Like we even want to go.

00:17:47
Speaker 1: We want to about tags exactly, so you know that’s one of the breakouts. One of the hangouts is like, hey, how do you even you know, work this system or you know, partner with somebody. So guys like us ten years ago that showed up to Gunnison and had zero like we’d watched a couple YouTube videos. It had been super handy to you know, maybe have somebody show us how to call, show us whatever. So uh, that would be kind of your first subset. And then I think the guy that had been like two or three hunts, maybe even up to five, but like wants to learn a little bit more, wants to like see what our training’s about, or even does our stuff, and just wants to come hang out. I think it’s gonna be a ton of fun. So I would say never been wants to get in slash been to five or more. I think I’ve been to five or more. There’s definitely benefit, but it would just be more of like, hey, want to come hang out, do the fitness and some of the other stuff.

00:18:45
Speaker 3: A bunch of free styles.

00:18:46
Speaker 1: I wouldn’t yeah, a bunch of free style. Well, you’re gonna pay a little bit, but you still get well worth of what you get.

00:18:52
Speaker 3: What you get paid should offset how much you pay for sure.

00:18:55
Speaker 1: So I man, I’m looking forward to it, and you’re gonna get a bunch of pictures and content that you can post on your Instagram because media is coming.

00:19:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of it, a lot of it. Yeah. I think, like thinking back to us or sometimes some people we funded with Jeff and I spoke about this, like even thinking about like, hey, I’m going to go out for the day, and how do I pack my bag where it makes sense? Like how do I pack my pack to where it makes sense for the day. Even things like that that you might not think about if you haven’t been out before. That seems simple now and you don’t even think about it. But that’s something that like a basic kind of skill like that might be good to go over.

00:19:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked to a couple, well, we talked to one pack company, which we’ll talk about when we get that finalized, but about them coming out and doing exactly that. It’s like, Hey, if I’m just doing a day, what’s my day pack look like? If I’m doing a longer, you know, longer hunt. What’s that look like? Hey, how does what does my camp set up look like?

00:19:51
Speaker 2: Knowing how to work your pack when you like have to take it apart to put and put it back together. All of that does like it sounds crazy about in the play.

00:20:00
Speaker 1: And if we can maybe get an animal and how to you know, quarter one up, which you know you get in that situation. You’re like, you think you know what to do, but there’s some easier ways to do it.

00:20:10
Speaker 2: One time, not too long ago, Rich and I found ourselves standing over a dead black bear.

00:20:16
Speaker 1: When no neither one of us had ever cut it up by ourselves.

00:20:19
Speaker 2: We can well other animals, but not a black bear, and we specifically had David Curtis he said, do not ruin the hide to hide, like, don’t touch it, don’t touch it. But we den’itely have a choice, and it all turned out fine. But like, just not finding yourself in that situation maybe for sure.

00:20:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know there’s a it’ll be a ton of fun. I think maybe we even to the participants ask him what are the what are the things they want to learn or want to talk about? So I think, man, it could be a ton of fun fitness wise. That’s a great spot. Beautiful country, really cool. There’s some really cool cabins. There’s three cabins there, big bunk house, and then we’ll probably be leaping in the old sprinter but we’ll be all right.

00:21:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:21:04
Speaker 5: I’d say for anyone that’s wanting to go out west that it just seems intimidating.

00:21:09
Speaker 4: They don’t know where to start.

00:21:10
Speaker 5: This is just such a phenomenal opportunity just to get a foundation for your first or second or third back country hunt. Because maybe you know, you went out and you’re just like dude, I.

00:21:21
Speaker 1: But bow and hike, hiked with the.

00:21:22
Speaker 5: Bow or even one hundred yards because they were intimidated. I don’t know the thermals, the wind, things like that. If if you’re looking for just a foundational class course, whatever you want to call it, this is the place to be. But also if you do have a lot of experience, you know you’ve shot a few bulls, this is a phenomenal way to level up your fitness level in the back country. You know, maybe this stuff is just routine for you, but I guarantee you you can get fitter for your next cunt hunt.

00:21:53
Speaker 1: Learn where you’ve got some holes for sure, because we’ll we’ll do a pretty wide range of some fitness which will be fun, but try not to bury guys too, and also show you how, hey, maybe the fitness is intimidating, how we can adjust some of that stuff and help guys out where they might be intimidated on it.

00:22:10
Speaker 2: And even for people that are really fit in the mountains but might not train at the same like level or volume that we train at. Like I’m thinking about Jeff specifically because we’ve had this conversation multiple times. He just started working here a month ago, maybe six weeks ago, a month ago, I don’t remember, but like he can crush the mountains. Yeah, but and he’s here now, and like training with all of us the way we train, I’m like, just think about which this is an unproven test so far, but think about how fit you’re going to be the next time you go to the mountain.

00:22:41
Speaker 1: Right, it can’t hurt, no, heck no, Yeah, the wider your ability is and all the different areas not just you know, rucking a pack, but you’ve also got the strength and you know, just kind of full gambit of tools from fitness.

00:22:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s finished a pack out and been like, you know what, I.

00:23:03
Speaker 4: Wish I was less fit?

00:23:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish I hadn’t overprepared, legs weren’t as strong.

00:23:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, or I think a lot of that too comes into like, you know, day five and six of a hard hunt, and you can still go after an animal if you are given the opportunity, for sure, You’re not like, man, my whole body’s killing me. I need to rest.

00:23:22
Speaker 1: And waste a day.

00:23:23
Speaker 2: Well.

00:23:23
Speaker 3: To Jeff’s point too, like both aspects fitness wise and hunting wise, if you’ve never been, like, both are intimidating to start, you know what I mean, Like, dude, that and rouge. Nobody thinks about going out hunting, you know what I mean, So most people don’t know you can. Actually it’s fairly easy to start. You just have to know where to go. So Jeff will be auctioning some of his pens off maybe at.

00:23:48
Speaker 4: It, definitely, Yeah, I got some good ones for him.

00:23:51
Speaker 1: But I forgot about that that first hunt you went on when we did the Plight of Saint berger On. Yeah, we actually did that this year. Me and Curtis, I can do it.

00:24:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing to it, but yeah, it’s just tough to you don’t if you don’t know where to start, just sit there and well, and this is just a great.

00:24:07
Speaker 1: It’s gonna be. It’s such a cool piece of property and such a cool like there’s so many different you know, up behind it is ten ten two I think, and then all the way down to seven thousand, So you’ve got a bunch of different features, different things we can look at and you know, talk about where different parts of the season where and we’re just talking elk, but even mule deer or whatever. Where those animals animals are going to be, so you can actually see that, you know, like and then different features of like wallows and we know where those things are on this property. So man, it’s just such a it’s such a cool spot. And it’s a cool teaching spot as well because and it holds animals, so probably see some animals out there.

00:24:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess Jeff correct me if I’m wrong. One cool thing about this. I know other people of course do things like this, but like, are any of them, like there’ll be at a ranch or something like that. I know you’re doing the same thing, but none of them are really at like elk camp.

00:25:11
Speaker 4: No, not necessarily.

00:25:12
Speaker 5: It’s just it’s just at a random ranch that’s long ways from anywhere you would be actually hunting, correct, So.

00:25:19
Speaker 3: It’s just like full immersion immersion.

00:25:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, this will be I mean it would also kind of be a scouting trip for us where we will be hunting there this fall slash early winter, and so I mean, I mean I’m looking forward to it.

00:25:32
Speaker 5: And it’s Yeah, if you’re an Eastern hunter and you’re just itching to get west, this is just such a perfect start to your journey.

00:25:39
Speaker 1: You get a real good idea of what’s going on.

00:25:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, and can see like different layouts, like it really is.

00:25:46
Speaker 1: It’s a cool spot. Yeah, now that you’ve hunted a couple of different places thinking about that place, now you’re like, oh, yeah, it’s pretty cool. You know. I me AND’s got her.

00:25:55
Speaker 4: We’ve been there.

00:25:56
Speaker 1: Five times, four or five times at least five, at least five. We you know, we know the different features. So man and we went twice one year. Yeah, I’m really looking forward to it. We haven’t finalized, We’re pretty sure on the dates. We’ve not finalized. Who all from a brand perspective, who all will jump in, but have a pretty good idea. It’s all coming together, So man, I think it’s gonna be it.

00:26:38
Speaker 3: No, that’s right.

00:26:40
Speaker 1: Hey, Odds is on the on the coffee shop wall, and you know before he ever even worked here.

00:26:45
Speaker 2: That’s true. Yeah, he probably, h he has. He has more tenure in that way almost than I do.

00:26:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, technically you had started right then, right, but you were not. We needed you do some other things before you could go on that first hunt. Yeah, yeah, that was Bouchet. It almost fell off the mountain.

00:27:05
Speaker 4: You weren’t with us that day, right, I mean I was with you on that, yeah, but you’re.

00:27:09
Speaker 1: On the trip but me. It was me, him and Steven and he tripped and was sliding right off of the like it was probably it wouldn’t have killed him, but he’d have been paralyzed. He was head first off like a twenty foot little It was bluff and I just put my all my weight on his like leg as he’s sliding, and then Steven grabbed him. It was one of those situations where you’re like, yeah, that wasn’t that wasn’t good. You had your cat like reflexes like Spider Man. Yeah, I’ve still got it. Had if only I’ve always said that, you know, like when you’re feeling down and out about like how old you’re getting and whatever, and then.

00:27:47
Speaker 3: All you need, no, that never happens.

00:27:50
Speaker 1: All you need is something to fall into the cabinet and catch it, and you’re like, pretty.

00:27:55
Speaker 3: I will self say I’m pretty good at that. Yeah, I think I even hit it with my foot sometimes.

00:27:59
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they I think slow it down at least.

00:28:03
Speaker 2: I think Bird Since coming here, he’s been like Brian Johnson, not liver King Brian Johnson, but the guy that’s trying to live forever Brian Johnson. He is reverse aging since coming to Mayhem. Think so yes, because his fitness level has improved so much, and just like Scott, I feel like I feel like general health has improved a lot. I think you’re reverse aging right now. I hope so, yeah, you might hang out with like eight.

00:28:29
Speaker 3: Now, it’s because I hang out with Watkins.

00:28:31
Speaker 2: He keeps you ten years. Yeah exactly, Yeah you got you got that swamp air out of your lungs.

00:28:55
Speaker 1: All right. That’s pretty much the update right now, right, that’s yeah, it’s we’re at I think, uh yeah, I think we talked about putting out a workout of the week, trying to get some people to do that.

Speaker 1: All right, so let’s think about it.

00:29:21
Speaker 2: Sounds like freestyle wrap Rich’s version.

00:29:23
Speaker 1: We got to think about what people have. Most people have access to, so you got to be able to run. Do we want to throw a ruck on there or do we want to just let’s run.

00:29:34
Speaker 2: Or just let’s just run for now.

00:29:36
