2nd verse, same as the 1st...

I live in the foothills. 6 days a week I hike a 5 mile trail with a 30lb slab of iron on my back and a 10lb rifle in my hands, sans sling. Except when there's ice/crampons or snow/snowshoes, then I sling up.

Back at the trail head if the ground is frozen or dry it's drop and do pushups, then shed the weight and knockout stomach crunches. Otherwise, they can wait until I get back to the shack where I also do pullups.

The objective is always 90 minute hike, ice or snow takes a tad longer. Minimum of 1,000 miles a year.


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
