Hey, hey, hey, everyone how's it? This is Nate. I get to welcome you to the show and to talk about the sponsors of today's podcast.

The first sponsor that I'm going to talk about is Hoist as in Hoist hydration.

Hoist is not like the other hydration drinks that are out there because of the way that it's been specifically formulated to match your body's natural osmolality, which means that you can absorb hoist rapidly without the actual need for hydration.

So it's super quick acting. It's got three times the electrolytes of the traditional sports drinks that are out there with only half of the sugars.

I don't know about you, but I'm actually grateful for the half of the sugars that they left in there because I like things that taste good.

But it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup, the artificial preservatives, sweeteners or dyes or any other crap.

So it's something that I can actually drink, feel good about it, taste good and it quickly hydrates me.

If you're interested, head on over to drinkhoist.com where you can use the code field craft 1-0 for 10% off at checkout.

The next sponsor of the podcast that I want to talk about is SIG as in SIG SOUR.

SIG, I got to go to their special event before a shot show. It was super cool.

I love all the innovation they had. All of the everything broken down the SIG cross, the other pistols, carbines, all the things like laid out wall to wall with tons of people who could tell me really cool nerdy facts about them that I thought was actually kind of fun and interesting.

I love all the modular builds that they're coming out with, everything super customizable.

I've had the Army's new M17 for a while with a Delta point pro and it's been a super fun pistol to be able to go through and train with.

It's actually the first one that I put a red dot on so I got to go through that whole no red dot to a red dot transition with the SIG.

And it's been a fun thing to do.

So thanks SIG SOUR for everything that you're doing and make sure you head on over and check out the awesome stuff that they're doing over there and pick something up with that.

Let's head on over to the show.

What's going on guys Kevin Estelle with Field Crafts for all podcasts. I am not going to touch this microphone.

I spent like 15 minutes just trying to screw around figure out how to get this thing to work without any issue and you know it's taken like crazy and I don't think you guys want to hear a bunch of tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick the way that I was hearing it.

At least that's not what I think you don't want to hear maybe you do maybe you think my voice sounds like I don't know fingernails on a chalkboard but guys in any case this is going to be an awesome podcast because I get a chance to talk to one of my assistant instructors who's going to be you know,

stepping into the role of primary instructor in the Pacific Northwest and we get to do a little bit of an after action about a survival course that we just ran out there.

This was a fun one. It was a nut punch in a lot of different ways but we got through it and people at a great time and you know I there was just so much to talk about.
