After nine plus years of studying backcountry hunting, one truth has become clear: your body and mind are your ultimate gear. Physical and mental preparation provide the true advantage in enhancing your effectiveness in the backcountry. At MTNTOUGH, we offer a variety of programs designed to help you prepare both mentally and physically for backcountry hunting.
The goal isn’t to look fit; the goal is to actually be fit. Endurance and resilience is what we are after, and most importantly resilience of the mind. If you work for it, looking better will certainly happen, but forging an unbeatable mind is the primary objective. It is about training your mind so that it is on your side, not working against you.
