Summary: Welcome to the podcast today’s episode is with a total badass of a hunter as well as an Army Ranger. Even though Justin is probably sitting in his lazy boy with his foot up listening to this because he just had surgery on his ankle. Which still hasn’t slowed him down much. Justin is a straight killer and will always find a way to get it done. A ranger, an artist in taxidermy, and has an outfitting business as well a dad to a total badass daughter. I have a lot of respect for Justin and his accomplishments both on and off the mountain. Born and raised in Colorado Justin took full advantage of the opportunity to move to Alaska, and I do mean full advantage. I really applaud those who live life to the fullest.<br> This episode made possible by <a href="http://www.backcountryfuelbox.com">Backcountry Fuel Box</a>.

They are packed full of protein and energy. We also have a couple Fbomb products in there and a bunch more, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise.
