Your body shivering is an automatic response for survival as it contracts your muscle to generate heat when thrown into a particularly cold environment.     The energy demand is high. The currency of that cost is calories.    I wanted to know just WHAT happens, WHY, and if we’re able to fix it in the field.     Who better to discuss the topic than Mr. John Barklow himself? ---- Knowledge from Storms.  Sitka Gear Montana Knife YouTube Survival Series w/ John.  Rewarming Drill.    

The Valley to Peak Nutrition Podcast, hosted by coach Kyle Kamp, cuts through the noise surrounding diet and performance for mountain athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. This isn't about rigid meal plans or fleeting trends.

The tone is direct and grounded, prioritizing clarity over jargon. By listening, you gain a reliable resource for answering your specific nutrition questions, allowing you to spend less time deciphering conflicting advice and more time pursuing your goals in the mountains and beyond.
