JOHN BARKLOW | A Primer on Hunting

October 12, 2021 //  by Ryan Michler

Hunting has started to gain some serious traction over the past several years. With notable influencers like Joe Rogan, Cameron Hanes, and John Dudley all advocating for the benefits of connecting with your food source, it’s easy to see why so many have become interested in the process.

In fact, I only started hunting 4 years ago and, in that time, I have been introduced to some amazing people in the community like my guest today, John Barklow, who is a big game product manager for the premier camouflage on the market, SITKA Gear. Today, John and I talk about how social media has both been helping and hurting the cause of hunting, why there is such a surge in the hunting space, why – if you want to get into hunting yourself – you need to take initiative, the beautiful responsibility outdoorsmen have, and the proficiencies men need to develop to become successful in harvesting wild game.

“The end result is, or should be, food on the plate.” Tweet That— John Barklow

My guest today is longtime outdoorsman and former 26-year veteran of the U.S Navy, John Barklow. Although a diver by trade, John spent more than two decades in direct support of Navy Special Warfare and much of that time attached to and connected with elite Navy SEAL teams.

Much of that time was spent in Kodiak, Alaska teaching SEALS how to survive in cold weather and how to move through technical terrain at night in what they referred to as Cliff Assault.

After his service, John began working with SITKA Gear to help develop clothing systems for outdoorsmen and hunters taking what he learned in combat and military service and applying it to real-world scenarios in the civilian sector.

He’s also the Founder of Knowledgefromstorms.com where he teaches others how to survive and thrive in challenging conditions.

“Go and get your reps in.” Tweet That— John Barklow

Making Yourself Battle Ready

Gents, as we move into the 4th quarter of 2021, it’s imperative that you learn how to set up a system that will all but guarantee your success. Most men wing it, then wonder why they aren’t experiencing the results that they desire.

That is why I created the Battle Ready program – to give you all of the tools, resources, guidance, and instruction to not only finish the end of the year on top but to help 2022 become the most profitable, fulfilling, lucrative year of your life.

And, all you need to get on the path is to sign up for our free Battle Ready course which is a self-guided process that has taken me more than 15 years to perfect. If you’re ready to take charge and turn the tides of your trajectory, head to www.orderofman.com/battleready.
