## Resource

Coty Hardy, a Fort Nelson construction worker turned stone lifting legend, conquered the infamous Dinnie Stones in Scotland—two 733-pound granite boulders that’ve tested strongmen since 1860. Though he didn’t fully lift them, he broke them free from the ground, proving their weight and awkward shape are no match for his grit. Drawing from a deep-rooted tradition of “stones of strength” found worldwide, Hardy champions this raw, outdoor workout over gym routines, saying it demands real-world adaptability. Now back home, he’s building his own stone collection from local rivers and lakes, launching a Facebook group to unite stone lifters across the Alaska Highway. His vision? A community-driven, family-friendly alternative to traditional fitness, where strength is forged in nature, not machines—and where everyone’s invited to lift, laugh, and grow together.
