The shot is the easy part. Getting him out is the work — and most guys have never once done the math on what that actually takes.

What carrying more would buy you

The plan for this is coming

I'm building a 16-week block to get ready for exactly the day above — heavy carries, and the downhill work that actually wrecks people. It'll be ready before spring draw results.

One email a month at most. No list rental, unsubscribe whenever.

Who's behind this

I'm Nate. I live in the Bitterroot, work construction, run a small farm, have young family, and train early because those are the only hours I own. I built this because I ran the numbers on a spot my buddy needed help packing out and the total mileage was a lot higher than I expected.

If the numbers here don't match what you've actually experienced hauling animals out — tell me. That's more useful to me than a compliment.
