Summary
Today’s episode is all about fitness for the mountains—and why it’s not optional if you’re serious about chasing elk in the backcountry.Dan breaks down how mountain fitness goes far beyond looking good or lifting heavy… it’s about durability, grit, and showing up when it matters most. From grinding up steep elevations with a pack on your back, to staying sharp when you’re smoked, this is the kind of fitness that directly translates to punching tags.He shares what’s working right now in his own training, how he prepares his body for long seasons in unforgiving terrain, and why being in shape isn’t just about success—it’s about respecting the opportunity.If you’ve ever hit the mountains and felt underprepared… or you’re looking to level up your edge this fall—this one’s for you.Separation is in the preparation.https://versahooks.com/ 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/ONXHUNT OLLIN | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://ollin.co/collections/snapshot DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/3P5x3BY BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE20 - https://blackriflecoffeecompany.pxf.io/9LnW0E FOUNDATION OURDOORS | 20% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE - https://www.foundation-outdoors.com/?sca_ref=10392320.yNY8hl6qQLCpq TRICER GEAR | 10% OFF CODE: ELKSH…
