Physical demands in the mountains can be quite extreme. Factors like a heavy pack, varying terrain type, heat, weather, smoke, and elevation can wear anyone out. What's the best way to be resistant to exhaustion in these conditions? You train for it...

| Managing Extremes in Hostile Mountain Environments [Dr. Brent Ruby, Pt 1.)-Nutrition | 18 May 2024 | 01:10:51 | |
Nutrition demands in the mountains are extreme. Add factors like a heavy pack, varying terrain type, heat, weather, smoke, and you can wind up with nutrition needs that seem more like the calculation for an atoms potential than a calorie calculation.
Luckily for us, Dr. Brent Ruby spent more than 25 years studying this to help us understand exactly how it works. He joints us for two parts- one on nutrition (this one) and the physical demands and training for such tasks in part 2.

| "If red meat is bad for you, should I stop hunting?" What's true- and what's not about red meat, health, and our hobbies. | 06 Apr 2024 | 00:50:33 | |
“I recently watched a documentary suggesting that meat is the source of all health issues- should I stop hunting?”
This was a question we had on the documentary “What the Health”. We looked at the main points in the documentary to determine what parts are completely false, what’s not the full story- and what part has some valid points.

| How a Small Patch of Timber In The Mountains Created a New Life (W/ Dave Boyes) | 06 Dec 2023 | 00:37:33 | |
Dave, like many folks who reach out to Valley to Peak, wanted to lose a few pounds and have better physical capabilities in the mountains. However, it was two other goals that really drove his motivation. One of these was a really small patch of aspens above his house. There wasn't anything particularly special about these aspens beyond the things that propels nearly all of us to go seek adventure: "I wonder what it looks like up there..."

| FAQ: ”How can I manage the dips in my energy better during the day?” 3 things that will make a dramatic difference. | 22 Nov 2023 | 00:36:48 | |
Most of us will sit down to watch the Lions get smoked tomorrow after a belly-full of turkey. Most of us will also doze off without any recollection of who won the coin toss or possession that followed.
This shouldn't be what you experience the other 364 days per year, yet it's exactly what many folks complain of.
Paul joins me this week as we explore how to better manage this and ensure it happens less often.

From Exo Mtn Gear: Your truck won't run with an empty tank. And it also won't run well, or for long, or the wrong type of fuel. The same is true of you. To perform your best, you need to fuel properly. But what does that mean?

My guest this week is Dustin Diefendurfer. Dustin runs MTNTOUGH- a program and app that has become synonymous with training the dedicated. This includes folks in the military, backcountry hunters, thru-hikers, wildland firefighters, ultra-runners, and just about everything in between.
Having had the chance to get to know Dustin and the entire crew over at MTNTOUGH through work we’ve done together in the last year has been nothing short of a great experience and learn from the exception attitudes, work ethic, and thinking they operate from everyday. I wanted you all to get to experience that.
So, we cover the origins of MTNTOUGH and it’s grown over the years. What’s been good- and difficult- about that. How the most impactful things rarely start out as trying to create any kind impact at all. We talk about making decisions and when to take leaps and at what point are decisions just plain stupidity….and so much more. ---- Check out more from MTNTOUGH here. Resources on nutrition?
