Exploring Wild Alaska to Reach New Heights
I’ve been guiding people into the most epic and rugged cold conditions for over eight years and I have trained 100s of instructors to do the same. I love to share the knowledge of what I have learned to help people get the most out of their trips as well as avoid the biggest mistakes when going out into cold conditions.
On Saturday I held an online session breaking down EXACTLY
1. What gear to bring to Alaska or any other cold rugged adventure setting.
2. Why prioritizing an adventure retreat once per year or every other year is essential to anchoring your daily training, reward your work and contribute to a lifetime of health and resilience
3. The TOP MISTAKES people and trainers make as well as how avoid them to ensure the best and safest experiences in the cold.
This video is just a small clip of that content. The session lasted one hour. If you missed it, don’t worry, I have two more coming up on Sunday, September 22nd. If you would like to join for FREE, all you have to do is visit mattsoule.com/plans-pricing to sign up for a FREE membership. This will give you a ton of great content and get you on my email list.
