They Picked a Diver.","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":6171,"description":"John Barklow spent 26 years in the U.S. Navy, most of it teaching Naval Special Warfare how to survive the coldest, most unforgiving mountains on earth. After 9/11 the military needed mountain warfare experts and almost none were left. They picked a diver from Cleveland, Ohio, and his work went on to reshape cold weather survival training for a generation of special operators.\nIn this conversation, Travis Bader and John go far past gear. They get into the mindset that keeps you alive when things go wrong, the difference between chasing happiness and building satisfaction, and why the hunting and firearms communities are so quick to turn on their own. John breaks down his famous rewarming drill in full: what to do if you fall in cold water in the backcountry, why you keep your wet clothes on instead of stripping them off, and how your own body heat dries your system from the inside. He explains how to train it safely in your own backyard before your life depends on it.\nHe also tells the story of a British Columbia horseback hunt that nearly ended under 1,400 pounds of falling horse in the dark, opens up about two hip replacements and refusing to let the old man in, and shares, for the first time publicly, who wrote the foreword to his new book.Some of the best survival lessons of your life are the ones John learned the hard way, so you don't have to.John's first book, Knowledge from Storms, is available for pre-order now. This episode includes a giveaway. Details are in the show and on our channels.\nLearn more about John Barklow:\nBook: Knowledge from Storms (St. Martin's Press)\nWebsite: knowledgefromstorms.com\nInstagram: @jbarklow\nCourses: outdoorclass.com\nFree videos: Montana Knife Company YouTube, MKC Survival Guide series\n_____\nSilvercore Club - https://www.silvercore.ca/clubOnline Training - https://www.silvercore.ca/\nOther Training & Services - https://www.silvercore.ca/course/category\nMerchandise - https://www.silvercore.ca/collections/all-merchandise\nBlog...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/B8WTW1_pTQK-2h9DfU1TlgOqrgcmMPFrunfof0Y4JM8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZDM3/YzE1NjU0ZjU4YzY3/ODljOTE3YzY0ZTlj/MmVhZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
