Managing Extremes in Hostile Mountain Environments [Dr. Brent Ruby, Pt 1.)-Nutrition
Nutrition demands in the mountains are extreme. Add factors like a heavy pack, varying terrain type, heat, weather, smoke, and you can wind up with nutrition needs that seem more like the calculation for an atoms potential than a calorie calculation.
Luckily for us, Dr. Brent Ruby spent more than 25 years studying this to help us understand exactly how it works. He joints us for two parts- one on nutrition (this one) and the physical demands and training for such tasks in part 2.

"If red meat is bad for you, should I stop hunting?" What's true- and what's not about red meat, health, and our hobbies.
“I recently watched a documentary suggesting that meat is the source of all health issues- should I stop hunting?”
This was a question we had on the documentary “What the Health”. We looked at the main points in the documentary to determine what parts are completely false, what’s not the full story- and what part has some valid points.
