It\u2019s one of the best parts about planning a trip. You make a list, you add to it, subtract from it, and then you refine it and then refine it again. You lay out all of your gear before you, ponder over it, and think to yourself, \u201cam I forgetting anything? I better not be forgetting anything. If I forget something, I could be stranded and then I would have to forage for food. Maybe I should bring that book I just got about foods of the forest. Oh god, what if I eat the wrong wild potato seeds and die like Chris McCandless. I better look at the list again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we are saying is: Preparation is important. It is paramount for hunters and it\u2019s much more than a list. That brings us to Adam Foss, The Fossman. He\u2019s been hunting most of his life and is a professional hunting athlete. He has been sponsored by some big guns (pun totally intended) like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sitkagear.com\">Sitka Gear,<\/a> Leica Hunting, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysteryranch.com\/hunting\">Mystery Ranch<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hilleberg.com\/home\/usa.php\">Hilleberg the Tent Maker<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schnees.com\">Schnee\u2019s Boots<\/a>. In 2012, at the age of 24, he became the youngest person to take all four species of sheep with a bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking with Adam, you can tell he LOVES hunting. He hunts more days than some folks ski, logging anywhere from 80-100 days a season. He\u2019s currently planning for a 14 day sheep hunt in Alaska. When we asked him what he does to get prepared, he said it depends on what kind of trip he is going on. His preparation depends on whether he is going for a weekend elk hunting trip or a 14 day sheep hunting trip; the difference is between a 20 pound pack and a 70 pound pack and exactly what goes in those packs to keep him safe, dry, and warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The physical demands of hunting are much more intense than most people think. Granted, while he and his pals are in the upper echelon of hard-core hunting athletes, it\u2019s still a very physical activity for all levels of hunters. Adam is a lifelong outdoor enthusiast and tends to stay in shape in the off-season by trail running, and does a lot of hiking in the mountains scouting new country. He said when hunting season starts, he pretty much checks out of the gym because each hunting trip gets him in better shape for the next. Hunters can cover up to 20 miles in one day, bushwhacking their way up a face of a mountain in some pretty harsh conditions. They do what they have to do and go where they have to go to achieve their goal. That also means eating plenty of calories, staying hydrated, and having really good equipment that is lightweight, breathable, and durable and all of that has to fit in a pack.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nikwax.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/adam-yukon-3.jpeg?w=611\" alt=\"Adam Yukon 3\" class=\"wp-image-1459\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of Adam Foss<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">So, how does one achieve that? Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam says efficient meal planning and hydration is key. He likes <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/36rZDHZ\">Mountain House <\/a>meal pouches. They supply plenty of his daily calorie requirements without being too heavy in his pack. For more energy he eats <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3g3rgug\">Cliff Shot Blocks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Jw7Ulk\">Honey Stinger Chews<\/a> and he eats a lot of them, often. He also drops <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuun.com\">Nuun<\/a> tablets in his water. The electrolytes help keep him hydrated when his body is working over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam believes that layering is everything and hunting is no different than mountaineering or skiing in this regard. He prefers merino baselayers when he is on a long trip. He says merino helps regulate your body temperature really well and he can wear it for 10 days straight and be fine. With synthetics, the smell really starts to build up after a couple of days and that doesn\u2019t bode well for longer trips. He\u2019ll wear synthetic base layers for short, weekend trips, but for the 10-14 day trips he\u2019s really doing his hunting partners a favor by wearing merino. He uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/wool-wash\/\">Nikwax Wool Wash<\/a> to properly clean and care for his merino baselayers, socks, underwear, and hat and glove liners before going out for his long hunts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nikwax.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/adam-yukon-9.jpeg?w=611\" alt=\"Adam Yukon 9\" class=\"wp-image-1460\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of Adam Foss<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">With bow hunting you are generally out in the wildness for a while, and having 10 days of good weather is lucky. Adam says that sometimes you have to spend 1-3 days playing cards and staring at the walls of your tent to shelter yourself from a storm. He also doesn\u2019t feel that he needs to shave off a couple of extra pounds on his back to sacrifice being warm, dry, and comfortable in the middle of nowhere. He likes to carry a down sleeping bag and cleans it before he heads out for a couple of weeks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/down-wash-direct\/\">Nikwax Down Wash Direct&nbsp;<\/a>revitalizes loft and insulation without damaging the structure of the down. It also maintains breathability and the original water repellency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a professional hunting athlete, Adam is lucky to get new gear at the start of every season. But during the season, he is pummeling that gear. It gets campfire smoke, sweat, and blood from dressing animals on it. When he gets back, he washes his jackets and packs in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/tech-wash\/\">Tech Wash<\/a> because it effectively removes the tough bloodstains and smoke, making his gear look and perform like new again. He also religiously applies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/waterproofing-wax-for-leather\/\">Waterproofing Wax for Leather<\/a> to all of his Schnee\u2019s leather boots throughout the season.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nikwax.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/adam-yukon-2.jpeg?w=611\" alt=\"Photo courtesy of Adam Foss\" class=\"wp-image-1468\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of Adam Foss<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hunting as a sport is experiencing a renaissance of sorts. With that in mind, we asked Adam what kind of advice that he has for new hunters or folks that are thinking about getting into hunting. He said that the big thing is not to be intimidated. &nbsp;Anyone can get a copy of the hunting regulations for their state. Take hunter\u2019s ed courses, do your research, use apps and info that is available on the web, get onto hunting forums, and take the time to find the right products, and most of all go far and deep and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Adam is a lucky duck and gets new products at the start of every hunting season, we have advice to help out hunters that have to wear the same products for a few seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the DWR (water-repellent coating) on your outer layers are in need of a bit of extra TLC, even after a cleaning with Tech Wash, wash it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/tx-direct-wash-in\/\">TX.Direct<\/a>. It will add water repellency to the shell and maintain breathability so that you continue to stay warm and dry from the inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now not everyone is a merino guy like Adam, so to keep your synthetics from stinking try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/basewash\/\">BaseWash<\/a>. It does the same job as Wool Wash; safely cleaning the high performing technical fabric, as well as enhancing and revitalizing its wicking abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your tent or hunting blinds have taken a beating and aren&#8217;t performing as well as they once were, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/tent-and-gear-solarproof\/\">Tent &amp; Gear Solarproof<\/a>. It not only adds water repellency, it also protects it against UV degradation. For that matter, use it on your hunting pack for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have you all educated \u2013 get out there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparation.
