They also have a super cool project coming up at Exo this year that we dove into.   Mark Huelsing https://www.instagram.com/markthefark/ https://exomtngear.com/   Jay Nichol jay@mindfulhunter.com https://www.mindful-reviews.com/ https://www.mindfulhunter.com/   Forged In The Backcountry https://forgedinthebackcountry.com/   Merch https://www.mindfulhunter.com/shop   Newsletter https://www.mindfulhunter.com/contact   IG https://www.instagram.com/mindful_hunter/   Podcast https://www.mindfulhunter.com/podcast   Free Backcountry Nutrition Guide https://www.mindfulhunter.com/tools

This week Mark and I chat through exactly how create your own nutrition plan for the backcountry.  We look at:    -  How many calories should I be aiming for (and why calories aren't all that matters).  -How should I split those calories up among carbs, protein, and fats (and what food will best help meet those needs).    As well as a variety of other topics to help you create your own backcountry nutrition plan.  The mantra we always use is "calories only matter if they're coming from this right place..."  This podcast dives into just why that is.    LINKS Exo Mtn Gear/Valley to Peak Fuel Guide Packets of BBQ Pork Salted Edamame   More information about the Valley to Peak Nutrition Coaching Program (3 spots open).    Is there a topic YOU want to hear about?  Tell us here!   Check out a host of free resources to help you get clarity on nutrition.   Interested in dehydrating your own food for the backcountry?  Grab the guide here.    Join our Facebook group! Valley to Peak Facebook Group Opt in for the latest V2P News (and a freebie!)

"THE LIGHTEST WAY TO LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD IS TO LIGHTEN YOURSELF." This phrasing is thrown around a ton in the world of outdoor adventure. Coupled with "I want to be light on the trail" as one of the top 5 reasons people reach out to me make it a topic worth addressing. Mark and I have been on both sides of the weight coin- too heavy to pursue any trail adventures and too light to recover well from big trips.  We discuss the downsides to both and four things that can suffer when someone is too light for the trail and- how those instantly improve being slightly above an "ideal" weight.  Article referenced: When Light is Too Light for the Trail.    Is there a topic YOU want to hear about?  Tell us here!   Check out a host of free resources to help you get clarity on nutrition.   Join our Facebook group! Valley to Peak Facebook Group Opt in for the latest V2P News (and a freebie!)

Popular idea 2/2: you should get a good load of protein in within 60-minutes of completing your workout to maximize the benefit of your workout and muscle growth.    That's how the story reads at least...   This week, Mark and I look at this on a deeper level to answer "is that really true?".  We look at:  How narrow is that "window"?  How does it differ for someone who fasts vs someone who doesn't? What are the key pieces of ACTUALLY stopping muscle breakdown and encouraging growth of the muscle? What are the nutrients we should focus on to encourage growth of the muscle, restoration of energy stores,  and getting the most out of our workout?

This week we tackle an idea that's very popular in the training world: you can only absorb SO much protein at a meal AND you HAVE to eat a certain amount for it to really get max benefit from your workout.   So, what's true?  We tackle that in-depth and aim to answer: Can you REALLY only absorb 30g of protein at a meal? What happens if you're under?  Over? Is even distribution better than a big amount at a single meal? Vice-versa? What about unique situations when traveling or in the backcountry and you DON'T have the luxury of being as dialed to a specific amount?   How do you "dose" protein?  Is there a difference between TOTAL weight and LEAN weight? And, what IS the number you should be aiming for?  We give you an ACTUAL calculation you can use.  Study referenced: Schoenfeld & Aragon, How much protein can the body use in a single meal for muscle-building?  Implications for daily protein distribution.  If you enjoy the episode, please consider "rating" it, leaving a review or sharing it with a friend.     Join us for part two on April 6, 2022!   Is there a topic YOU want to hear about?  Tell us here!   Check out a host of free resources to help you get clarity on nutrition.   Join our Facebook group! Valley to Peak Facebook Group Opt in for the latest V2P News (and a freebie!)

The greatest struggle in dialing in nutrition for most folks doesn't have anything to do with a number or training plateau- it's the planning.  This week, Mark and I talk through how to simplify meal planning in a way that makes execution of the plan easier, grocery shopping simpler, and your life easier overall. Strategies we've used to accomplish our goals and make meal prep easier. Why sometimes “good enough” is better than not at all. And I give you a simple, fool-proof strategy to follow that everyone of the valley to peak members get. This will help you lay out your week in a simpler way, make grocery shopping much easier, and actually make it possible to achieve the goals you're setting out to pursue.

I'm joined by Mark Huelsing this week as we talk about how to fuel DURING long workouts/races/pursuits.  We cover topics like: What are the four major factors to look at when deciding if you need to fuel? What should you fuel with...how much....and how often? Training fast vs fed- solutions if you don't have time to eat beforehand. Counting specific nutrients vs wining it; the value of both. Running on fat vs carbs; is there a difference or target we should aim for?

Mark Huelsing is a Dad, Husband, hunter, and just so happens to work at Exo Mountain Gear, however, on this episode of The By Land Podcast, we go in a bit of a different direction. No gear talk and no hunting stories (ok..maybe one). I've always appreciated Mark's insight that goes beyond the generic gear talk. Anytime I need an outside opinion on something, he's ready and willing to offer a thoughtful perspective.I reached out to Mark and asked if he'd want to come on the show to chat. He initially told me he probably didn't have anything important to talk about, but after shooting me a few things he'd been thinking about lately, we set a time and made it happen.This is NOT a gear episode. Instead, this is more of a conversation you'd have at the end of a long day on the trail or hunt while sitting around a campfire. We cover everything from why it's good for you to be bad at something, the feeling of needing to be productive with your time in the outdoors while also wanting to relax, and the realization that some of us might not ever be the worlds greatest hunter.If you're in the mood for a conversation that explores more than just gear and stories, this is the one for you. I'm incredibly grateful Mark was willing to open up about these topics and I'd encourage each of you listening to do the same. Ask yourself the hard questions and see what comes of it.By Land,Emory R.

Mark Huelsing from Exo Mountain Gear joined me again on this episode of the Big Game Hunting Podcast and we had a great discussion on how to choose the right backpack for your hunting needs. We talked about how to evaluate your backpack needs as a hunter, the capabilities a good pack offers, the right way to pack your backpack when hauling a heavy load, and specific recommendations on which Exo Mountain Gear packs are best for various hunting situations.

Today, we have a special guest on the show: Mark Huelsing. Mark is from Missouri and decided to try his hand on a self-guided archery elk hunt in Colorado few years ago. It took a lot of effort, but he was eventually successful in harvesting a 5x5 bull elk and documented his hunts on his blog: Sole Adventure. He was kind enough to come on the Big Game Hunting Podcast and share the stories of those hunts and what he learned.  Show notes: https://thebiggamehuntingblog.com/podcast/markhuelsing/ Show sponsor: GoHunt.

On today's episode we talk EXO Packs, Death Hikes, and Toe Socks with Mark Huelsing of EXO Mountain Gear. Mark has been with EXO from the beginning and he also hosts their Hunt Backcountry Podcast.  He is a dedicated backcountry hunter and a fellow gear junky so this podcast was a lot of fun for me.  We talk about his favorite EXO Pack, pack weight, assorted gear, and the origin of the Death Hike.

Mark Huelsing is a husband to one very patient and understanding woman, a father to two amazing kids, a hunter, an explorer, a wanderer, a thinker and a writer.

This throwback episode is one that didn't get published and I thought it would be a great idea to blast it here on the ELKSHAPE Podcast.  I sit down and record with Mark Huelsing of Exo Mountain Gear.  We basically cover the ElkShape lifestyle and how to best prioritize your family when you're passionate about elk hunting.  We hunters need our time away from civilization and we need a strong family presence.  This hunting dichotomy is one that we all juggle and is worth putting some thought and intention behind.   ELKSHAPE PARTNERS: KENETREK EXO HOYT ARCHERY ONXMAPS SITKA GEAR VORTEX OPTICS EASTON ARCHERY ELKSHAPE YOUTUBE EBOOK PHELPS GAME CALLS BOHNING OFF GRID FOOD CO  FNX SUPPLEMENTS  

The 2018 EXO Death Hike was 90+ miles over three days, with 21,000 feet elevation gain.

This is in preparation for the first Highlander Challenge, which we will be organizing for Summer 2019. If you want to come along, email us!
