Brooks Range Dall Sheep - Foot on the gas!!!

[Karl Blanchard]

The count down to flyout is hear! Not much exciting going on except hiking with a pack.  Too stinking hot at Fullbright so switch to stadium stairs at the high school.  My daughter joins me most nights. She's a little beast. She even tried a flight with my 65lb pack on

Last night was my last pack session before I leave. Did 20 rounds listening to Goggins telling me to "stay hard"    time to rest up and spend some time with the family. Chiro and massage on Wednesday, pack my carry on Thursday,  and then wheels up Friday

I'm not jealous. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.

Here's to safe travels and an epic hunt, my man!

Blessings on your trip!

I love the part where its all in front of you.....  Soon, it will just be a memory.  Best of Luck and enjoy the epic times spent with loved ones....

You have labored long and hard in the vineyard of achievement. I wish you great success in your Quest.

Good luck man. I know you will savor every moment, even if its wet, cold and miserable. Looking forward to reading all about it when you get back and recover

Best of luck! Can't wait to hear about how it went

It’s pretty awesome getting the kids involved! Doing hard things together builds great relationships. Good luck on the hunt!

Best of luck Karl!!

[Karl Blanchard]

Thanks all!

After a lot of emotional turmoil and a lot of oven heat and thick socks I've got these Hanwags stretched out and feeling great! They have officially gotten the green light for the hunt.
