Summary

Greg McHale is a professional world-class multi-sport athlete who has raced for some of the top adventure racing teams in North America. His physical and mental endurance is proven in the world's most challenging human endurance sport, making him a formidable hunter. His determination and ability to never stop the pursuit separate him from all other hunting personalities. Greg's greatest solo accomplishment is winning a 430-mile race called the Yukon Arctic Ultra in the Arctic winter. Greg pulled a sled with the necessities to survive the -50 temperatures that were experienced during the event. The mental dominance required to compete and win the event is tapped into whenever challenges arise in other areas of life. An engaging host with extensive backcountry skills, an unwavering passion for the hunt, and adventure racing toughness, make McHale unlike any hunting partner you've ever had. Experienced in big-wall climbing, mountaineering, paddling, and trekking, combined with his hunting experience, make him an elite outdoorsman-excellence as a rifleman and archer round out his hunting resume. Greg is not only an athlete but also a pilot on wheels and floats. He uses his aircraft to scout for game and to bring the team far off the beaten path. Landing on remote airstrips, skis, or lakes and rivers, Greg's skills as a bush pilot open the vast landscape of the wild Yukon to these hunters. Host of the television show Greg McHale's Wild Yukon, Greg is passionate about inspiring others to "do the work" to improve their lives through fitness, health, and the pursuit of outdoor adventure.
