Spending some time at the ranch for the holiday, enjoying our time together!

After Too many times I've had to pull webs out of my beard and mouth and hat on a hike through these woods. Finally I got tired of that and started spider-sticking. Lennox knows now that's the first thing you do on a hike through the Texas woods.

Out for a ride on my new to me bike and saw another guy out getting his #duespaid ! Notice the @1stPhorm shirt, and my Camo hat! These supps are amazing and the company is growing like wildfire! #1stPhorm #1stphormoutdoors #outdoors #bike #archery #bowhunting
When 3D printing you'll have some prints that come out great and some that aren't fit for distribution! I've had to recycle or toss a lot of my grips that I've made because they didn't fit my quality standards! I thought about selling some cheaper as a second run, or blemished lot, but decided that I only want to put out quality products!

The weight of your hunting arrow can vary depending on what game you're looking for, distance you're planning on shooting, what broadhead you're using, and more. overall it's a very personal process, but if you are dropping animals cleanly keep doing what you're doing!

HOW TO SURVIVE HYPOTHERMIA IN THE BACKCOUNTRY!! 🚨 #outdoors #hunting #bowhunting
Flow like water - Drone footage from Torrey Pines Beach in San Diego with my DJI Air2S. So clean, so cinematic. Great Drone footage! The beach was peaceful. I sat for almost an hour just listening to the waves crash against the rocks, then slip back through just to come back crashing again. Water is slow but persistent. We should be the same. Slow to Anger yet persistent in our drive and ambition and desires. Be the water.

Slow it Down - this has been hard for me to get used to. But being present in the aiming process and getting a good surprise release is important. Slow mo video can be a great tool to make sure this happens for you too. You can see the follow-through and the eye flinch noting that I had no idea the release was going to fire, I was just pulling and pulling. #craftedarchery #easyvanes #hunting #bowhunting #archery #outdoors
Talk about a surprise release! I started pulling into my shot and wasn’t quite ready when the wind blew me a little and I fired my tension release (Cater Mini evolution) when I wasn’t ready. At 79 yards I was about three inches high off of the target, and 12 inches right! Thankfully I found the @crafted_archery arrow and the only thing broken was the nock! Thankfully I bought plenty of bright eyes nocks to swap them out! #lessonslearned At @totalarcherychallenge #sanantonio
#TotalArcheryChallenge #sanantonio Day 1 in the books! I didn’t do too bad, only lost 1 arrow - Shooting the New #MathewsArchery #Lift33 and loving it. #TAC is good for showing me my flaws and giving me a chance to really see how I do at long ranges - all I have at home is shooting in my backyard!
New batch rolling off the press! This is in my signature Neon/Chartreuse color but without the Carbon Fiber. Finished the designing in Fusion 360 of the 5* and 8* angled grips and there coming off next! If you see me at #totalarcherychallenge in #SanAntonio I’ll have a selection of these on hand and will be selling for $15 bucks each. If I run out I have coupon codes for the website! DM me if you want to meet up and make an exchange! See you this weekend! 🏹
Can you have too much protein? I’ve been seeing this popping up a lot on my social feeds, and had to put a stop to it. There have been articles popping up saying that you only need 145 g of protein a day, but that is only the bare minimum! Protein is by far the most important macro nutrient!! Check the link in my Linktree for the best protein sticks that make carnivore meals on the go easy, and a 30 day free trial of the app when you sign up with my link!

New Boot Goofin out here in SLC. Review of the Crispi NEVADAS coming soon!
TRIAL: I made this word a double entendre today. Not only was I testing out at my new crispy Nevada boots, ( review coming to the channel soon) but I put myself through a trial as well. It was a fast half hour hike with a 550 ish foot elevation gain. I can't expect to perform for 6 days in the mountains if I don't try myself on a regular basis, and neither can you. Even if you don't have mountains that you can go to, (I'm in SLC for work) load your hunting pack down and take it on a hike. Just show up and do your homework.

Share your videos and use the #FletchingRace let’s see who has the fastest easiest fletching system! From the first time I tried them I’ve loved the easy vanes, and although I’ll be doing some head to head testing videos, I don’t ever see myself switching to anything else. #easyvanes @easyvanes #craftedarchery @crafted_archery (arrows) #bowhunting #hunting #archery #bowsandarrows #mathewsarchery #primearchery
A train crosses a huge bridge over some amazing views. Just across this bridge is access to the Cross Bar Management area - The only Bureau of land Management (BLM) land in the state of Texas. It took me an Hour to hike to this point, about 4 miles in and it was a gorgeous view. I could have gone further but I’d be racing the light and did not have a candleling device of any kind other than a cell phone. So I just enjoyed the view and vowed to return again soon.
Scouting some land for elk near the Cross Bar BLM, the only federal BLM property in Texas. I want to bring more attention to Texas’ public hunting lands because although it’s only 2% of the state, it makes up for way more hunting opportunities than many states have surprisingly. I will be coming back here when I can head out with more time in the day! #blmland #Texas #amarillo #hunting #archery #bowhunting #wilderness #wild #livewild #livetrue #defytheodds
Hydration… a constant issue in the back country and something that cannot be pushed aside. I naturally sweat pretty frequently, so I have to make sure that I constantly have water. While hiking through the back country in Utah, there were times where we spent three or four hours hiking just to find water. 1 gallon of water, about 4 liters, weighs like 8 pounds. But it’s definitely worth it to carry extra. With the amount of physical exertion, we were putting forward, and as dry as the climate was, it was worth the extra weight to carry more water with us. This video is right after about a three hour hike just to find clean water to fill up our bags. running out of water can lead to very serious consequences and even put you in the hospital if you’re not careful.
In the High Uinta wilderness area after hiking 3 1/2 miles with a nearly 1300 foot elevation gain. It did pour down rain on us all way up, was 40° outside, and we were absolutely exhausted. Once all the way at the top, we realize that Dean had forgotten his tent, so we had to think on the fly. Thankfully, he had remembered his rain fly for his tent, because I didn’t realize my seek outside Eolus was not seem sealed! Needless to say, we spent some cold wet days here. One morning we woke up and our boots were frozen solid.
Trying to get the best vantage point up on top of these rocks. From the top I could see easily 180 degrees around from this point, but being completely honest… the kid in me still likes climbing rocks!
