In this episode, Jay does a deep dive into the training principles of progressive overload and time under tension and how these principles can be applied to make you a more effective hunter.

This week we feature a new section called the Gear Shootout Series.  This series will pit two pieces of similar gear head to head in an in-depth field-tested review.  Up first we compare the First Lite Obsidian pants against Sitka’s Apex pants.

Closing out, Jay gets into his hunt plans for 2021 and shares some tips on how you can get away for more hunts and spend more time in the outdoors pursuing your passion.
