Workouts With Zero Equipment
Workouts With Zero Equipment

I know we have talked about the Deck of Cards a lot on this podcast, but I want to give you some variations of the Deck of Cards that you can do. No matter how many times I talk about it I continue to get questions about it, so lets go over it one more time. In an average deck of cards you have for suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs). Face cards in this deck equal 10 and aces equal 11 or 1 if you need to scale it back. So from this point I will assign an exercise to each suit (for example burpees|spades, pushups|clubs, sit-ups|hearts, and squats|diamonds. So if you turn over a 3 of spades, that is 3 burpees, but a Queen of clubs would be 10 pushups.

The Wim Hof Method
The Wim Hof Method

In October of 2015 I came across a documentary that changed how I started my day. Vice did a documentary about a Daredevil named Wim Hof who, through a breathing technique, was able to do amazing things previously believed to be impossible. He ran a marathon barefoot in the Arctic Circle, another marathon in extreme heat, he climbed Mt Kilamanjaro in shorts and even went up Everest in a pair of shorts. He set world records for swims under frozen lakes, he stayed in ice up to his neck longer than anyone to set a World Record.

Drop In On Travel
Drop In On Travel

Something you can do while traveling is you can drop in on a crossfit gym. There is some etiquette involved in a drop in. First you want to do some research about the gym and where is it located. I will look for some kind of email address or phone number and I will try to contact them about wanting to drop in on their gym. It is certainly worth asking if it is ok that you drop in and letting them vet you a little bit too. Give them an opportunity to get to know you and see how experienced you are with crossfit.

Angling Confidence
Angling Confidence

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about permit, and it’s no secret that permit is my favorite fish. And there’s a reason for that. I was fortunate enough to start guiding in Key West, Florida which is the epicenter of permit fishing. So I found myself in a place where it was the best place to fish for permit but I did not know much about the species at the time.

Austin's Story

I just wanted to thank you for making so much knowledge readily available to the world. I felt that I had to send you this because I had almost sunk my boat in a log jam last Sunday. Had we gone down it would've been nothing short of tragedy, losing two people and two dogs to the raging river. Without going to far into details I was stuck in an abominable log jam on a flooded river and the stern was taking water fast. After eliminating the threat of taking water we were still in a very bad way.

Two Turn Blood Knot
Two Turn Blood Knot

Occasionally you get in a situation when you need to tie two dissimilar pieces of monofilament or fluorocarbon together. By dissimilar I mean 20 lb to 10 lb or in trout fishing it could be 2x to 4x. One might be much larger, and you could step down but you don’t have the right size. Or in tarpon fishing you might have a 10 pound line and want to put a 25 pound shock-tippet on there.
