In our last installment of acronyms and nicknames in the Crossfit world, we are going over RFT. This is "Rounds For Time" and in this case we will use an example.

CrossFit workouts and many other types of workouts will designate how many rounds you will do. The "For Time" part means that you are going to complete that many rounds as f...

We have lockdowns going on with COVID-19 which leads me today to talk about physical health. I am certainly no expert on infectious disease. I do know that social distancing is a good idea right now and we are taking precautions at the office and in my house to be healthy. Taking precautions is one aspect (washing hands, social distancing) but the other part is staying healthy. In times like these it is easy to forget to be active in staying healthy. I am going to make sure that I get fresh air,...

In Crossfit and other types of fitness there is often a language associated with each style. Someone new to it is easily confused and sometimes it is a turnoff. Continuing our series on Crossfit nicknames and acronyms, we are now covering "Chipper" workouts. These are a type of workout where many things required of you (pull-ups, moving a sandbag, etc..) and you will need to chip away at it until finished. A chipper workout is usually done for time.

As outdoorsmen we are always trying to take photos to remember a special day or a beautiful scene. Most of us are pretty disappointed in the result. The photos just don't look like we remember the scene to be, the fish looks small, the sunset isn't as colorful as it was and the subject has their eyes closed. Professional photographers pay attention to a few details that make photos instantly better. I was on a shoot with Jason Stemple and asked for his advice on a video I was making. His tips we...

Jordan Jonas was a cast member of the History Channel Show, Alone. The show sent a group of survivalists to the Arctic to compete for $500,000 in a last man (or woman) standing competition.

I had the pleasure of joining Captain Scott Walker of Into the Blue Television show in his kitchen and he walked me through the way that he cans tuna. He does this so that he uses every bit of the Blackfin Tuna that he catches and nothing goes too waste. There are actually no cans involved. He uses Mason Jars and a pressure cooker to preserve the fish without the need for refrigeration for over a year. This is great for Hurricanes or simply to make sure that you use everything you catch. This ep...

Bouncer Smith is a legendary Sportfishing Captain in Miami, FL. Bouncer gives some excellent advice on setting the drag for all gamefish. Use a hand scale every time. Point the rod directly at the scale and pull back until the drag slips at 20% of the breaking strength of the line. Use the scale to observe how the drag changes as your customers or friends pull on the line and bend the rod Practice so much that you can know exactly how hard the angler is pulling by the bend in the rod simply by l...

Don't lose track of how many pushups you have done, download a spreadsheet to document how many you have done and how many you have left by CLICKING HERE. Some people have told me that they have been getting sore from all the pushups and my recommendation would be to try to change up how you are doing the pushup and how man you are doing. Keep your sets light and just do them frequently. After so many pushups with your elbows close, do some with your elbow out. Do some pushups with a narrow hand...
