Let's do it! There's grass to crawl through, trails to bound down, trees and boulders to climb, dirt to wallow in. Body & soul workout.

Ah, Prospect Park–it has been so long! Time to show some love to that other great NYC park. We'll work on proper lifting and get in some running thru the woods–on and off-piste.

Steve Rinella — critically-acclaimed author, TV host, and hunter extraordinaire — will be speaking about his new book, Meat Eater: Adventures from the Life of an American Hunter. Steve was formerly the host of The Wild Within on the Travel Channel and now hosts “MeatEater” on the Sportsman channel.
Steve will talk about hunting, ethical meat-eating, and some stories from his book — then we'll spend most of the time on Q&A.
TO RSVP, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BUY ONE COPY OF THE BOOK, MEAT EATER.
1. RSVP to this meetup
2. Email me your Amazon or B&N receipt at [masked]
You can buy the hardcover (~$17) or kindle (~$14) at Amazon, buy it at your local bookstore, or bring the book to the event.
Anthony Bourdain praises Meat Eater as “a unique and valuable alternate view of where our food comes from—and what can be involved. It's a look both backward, at the way things used to be—and forward—to a time when every diner truly understands what's on the end of the fork.”
Steven Rinella grew up in Twin Lake, Michigan, the son of a World War II veteran and life-long hunter who instilled his deep love of the natural world in his three sons. He began fishing at the age of three and shot his first squirrel when he was eight and his first deer at the age of thirteen. He chose the colleges he attended by their proximity to good hunting ground and as an adult he feeds his family from the food he hunts. In short, Steven Rinella lives to hunt and hunts to live.
MEAT EATER: Adventures from the Life of an American Hunter is an exploration of humanity’s oldest pursuit and its relevance today through the lens of ten hunts, beginning at age ten when he was entranced by stories of the American wilderness (especially the exploits of his hero Daniel Boone) and ending as a husband and father with a freezer full of game meat in his Brooklyn apartment. Readers accompany him as he attempts to eke out a living as a fur trapper in the late 1980s; to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula in search of the challenging-to-capture but nearly-inedible bonefish during a flirtation with catch-and-release fishing; on a canoeing trip in the Missouri Breaks in search of mule deer; and on a hunt for the elusive Dall sheep in the glaciated mountains of Alaska.
Throughout the chronicle of Rinella’s lifelong relationship with nature and hunting, he grapples with themes such as the role of the hunter in shaping America, the vanishing frontier and the importance of conservation, the ethics of killing, the responsibilities that human predators have to their prey, and the near-disappearance of the hunter himself. Rinella argues that assuming responsibility for acquiring the meat that we eat—rather than entrusting it to proxy executioners, processors, packagers, and distributors—is one of the most respectful and exhilarating things a meat eater can do.
As the host of the television show MeatEater on the Sportsman Channel and the former host of the Travel Channel’s James Beard Award-nominated show The Wild Within, Rinella has had the rare opportunity to hunt around the world for most days of the year. The upshot of his extensive travel, coupled with thirty-plus years of hunting and fishing with his father and brothers, is an intimate knowledge of animals—how they move and how you should move around them, the sounds and smells they react to, how they are best broken down and transported back to camp after they are killed, and even why their fat tastes the way it does. Rinella shares his hard-won insights in his stories and, after each chapter, presents “Tasting Notes” on how to prepare, cook and eat wild game, both at home and over a campfire.
To read MEAT EATER is to sign up for an unforgettable journey into the remote corners of North America with master storyteller Steven Rinella and to learn what it means to be a real-life American Hunter.

Moving venue to McCarren Park in the WillyB. This is my neighborhood park and I want to work on some things and share some techniques that Prospect Park hasn't been able to deliver on. We'll be working on movement techniques in situations requiring balance and heightened levels of focus. After “earning” our food, we'll head a few blocks over to the famed Fette Sau to get our paleo on and chow down on responsibly sourced, heritage pork and beef.

It's getting cooler. So, let's soak up as much sun as we can by moving naturally outside.
What to bring: a smile, a friend! If you're carrying a bag, make it a backpack.
Be prepared to run. If you're a barefoot runner, great! If not, bring the shoes you run in.
Format: 1st hour we'll work on drills and technique. Appropriate for all fitness levels.
2nd hour is a free flowing run at a good pace, averaging 7-8min miles. Inappropriate for folks not accustomed to running.

Vacation time complete. Time to work! I'll be in the park this weekend. We'll use first hour to go through some basic drills for any beginners and to refresh veterans. 2nd hour will be a practice run for our Tough Mudder team (not too late to sign up!).

Hunting season is only a few months away, anyone else want to start getting their practice on a bit more regularly should let me know. I have 2 or 3 friends who go fairly regularly, but more is better.
