Summary

We are in a time of year where many hunting seasons are wrapping-up soon and we head into the holidays, cold and dark winters, days, and often, a time where we let things slip. But it doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to wait for a "new year" or next hunting season to commit yourself. A commitment to challenging yourself — be that physically, mentally, or in some other way. In today's show, we hear from a listener, Curt, and how he challenged himself this year. Hear what he did, what he learned, and what advice he has for you. https://exomtngear.com/podcast

0:00.0	Well, guys, welcome to the Huntback Country podcast today.
0:23.6	This is episode number 257, and our guest is one of you, a listener by the name of Kurt,
0:31.1	who recently, well, somewhat recently, completed a Ruck Challenge that we wanted to talk about. So going back to the
0:40.1	beginning of this crazy year that 2020 has been and when COVID hits, obviously the world
0:46.4	changed and obviously we are still dealing with that. Kurt took it upon himself to make the best
0:53.8	use of that time. So during a lockdown, during a pandemic,
0:58.0	Kurt, as you'll hear about, created a challenge for himself. That included a lot of hiking,

1:10.4	from Kurt to hear about what he did and how he
1:13.1	put the challenge together, why he put it together. And ultimately, I just wanted to talk to him.
1:17.6	I wanted to pick his brain about his story. And I wanted to share that with you. And that's what
1:22.3	we're doing today. Before we dive into that conversation, I want to thank Martin Yeti for the feedback on the podcast.
1:29.6	And Martin, we went to send you some Huntback Country and Exo Mountain Gear swag.
1:34.7	So send us your shipping address to podcast at Xomountaingear.com.
1:38.9	One of the things that Martin said is, this podcast motivates me to get out of my comfort zone. Now, that's not the sole
1:46.8	purpose of this show, but it is kind of a recurring theme that we come back to. Steve and I both enjoy
1:54.0	challenge. It's part of the reason we love hunting the backcountry specifically. It's part of the
1:59.7	reason we do things like the death hike that you've likely heard us talked about.. It's part of the reason we do things like the death
2:01.8	hike that you've likely heard us talked about. And it's part of the reason we wanted to talk to our
2:06.1	guest today, Kurt, because he took it upon himself to get out of his comfort zone. Guys, as we wrap up
2:12.7	these hunting seasons this fall, head into the holidays and winter and, you know, weather turns
