Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast. This is episode number 535 and our guest today is Rich Froning.

Some of you may be familiar with that name, and others not, but Rich is top of the world,

or was for many years in CrossFit competitively.

If you win the CrossFit games, you're considered the world's fittest man,

and that's something Rich did multiple times over.

Since retiring from competitive CrossFit, Rich has gotten big into elk hunting.

He absolutely loves it. It's a passion of his.

He admittedly is not a great elk hunter, as you'll hear, but he's on a quest to get more experience and to learn more. So we talk a bit about that, some of the lessons he's learned,

how his experience with the CrossFit games helps them with hunting, not just from a physical

perspective, but from a mindset perspective, knowing how to get uncomfortable

and stay in it when you are uncomfortable and a whole lot more.

We're doing archery elk hunt this September with the guys from Born and Raised Outdoors

and found out that Rich was going to be a part of that.

And so we just wanted to get to know Rich a little bit before we headed into this hunt

and figured we might as well do that on a podcast.

So that's what we're sharing with you guys today is we get to know Rich and hear some of his

story, some of his lessons and experiences from hunting and just kind of find out what they're up to.

As you'll hear, Angelo is also with Rich, and together they do have some training for hunting

through Mayhem Hunt. I'll leave a link to that in the show description if you guys want to

check it out. As always, we appreciate you guys tuning in and all the support and feedback.

But right now, let's dive right into this conversation with Rich and Angela.
