Backpacking, Wilderness Survival, Combat Conditioning, Hunting Fitness & More With Aron Snyder.
Aron Snyder is a man of many hats and should be highly interesting to you if you are interested in the outdoors, weightlifting, backpacking, MMA or hunting.
As a former military man, search and rescue team member and MMA fighter, and the current knowledge guru at an outdoors gear company called "Kifaru" (use code "BGF15" for 15% off backpacks, rucks, sleeping bags and sleep systems, tents, stoves, sleds and anything else there!), he takes his physical training seriously and specializes in a real world approach that gets men and women prepared for everything from wilderness survival, to epic backpacking trips, to the difficult hunts on the face of the planet. He's an outdoor photographer, freelance writer, and one extremely hardcore, tough guy who knows plenty about getting a heavy backpack to fit right, surviving in harsh conditions, taking epic nature pictures, hunting big animals, and much more.
