The community are coming up, and and the fact that you're open to listening and changing is is huge, like, and and and adapting. So I think I think that's a really, really important aspect of it. But I think, like, as people get more accustomed to it, like, you know, we've you know, we kinda discussed, like, it is a rocking event.

Yeah. Yeah.

It it it is a rocking event.

Welcome to the Fuel Hunt Show. What's going on, Eagles?

Welcome to the Fuel Hunt Show. I am joined today by my cousin and cofounder, Drew. And we're also joined by Tim, the owner of Good Works. Today, Tim is here because we're going to do a few fast recap. We recently had the few fast 3, so that's our 3rd, few fast here in Philly.

We're gonna get into 3 was a little different, than the previous few fest, and we're gonna get into why, because I'm basically sadistic. And, Tim talked me off the ledge for the third one, and it was a good a good idea. But we'll get into a little recap of 3, how it differentiated from 2 and the first Few Fest, and, then we'll tease a little bit as to what's going on in December for the Few Fest 4. So to back up a little bit, the Few Fest is our quarterly event where we get the community, the few, together in person to do something hard. At least that's how it started.

So 12, the Few Fest 001 and 2, were very long rocks now that I've come to understand. It was a rock, from HQ, here in the Frankfort section of Philly down to the Liberty Bell, which is the old city section of Philly. So it was about a 17 mile ruck. In addition to that, the ruck was bookended by 500, reps in the gym before the few fest started or before the ruck started and then another 500 reps at the end after the rock started. So you're looking at 17 miles, a 1000 reps.

It was it was a day. It was Yeah. It was a day. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So some some of the some of the most hardcore of the few came out for 1 and, for 1 and 2. And with Tim moving into HQ and bringing his company with him and his trust hard work flag Yeah. I said, hey, man. We're getting a strong small group for the Few Fest.

You've got some, experience with rocking events.

Yep.

I said, what do you think? Like, how can we make the group a little larger? And that's when you kinda backed me off of Yes. The 17 miles. Yeah.

You're like, well, first things first, we could just shorten the rock a little bit so it's not as sadistic. And I'm like, okay. That that works.

I mean, you know, 7 17 miles is a piece, man. Like, and that's, you know, and that's not just for you know, it's not difficult for just new people. 17 miles is is a big piece for a lot of people, even experienced Rutgers doing that. Like, it's not it's not a, just like a weekend, like, hey, you know, I'm just gonna I'm gonna decide to go do this, like, yeah, some people are to that fitness level, and and and Yeah. Duration and and ability where they can say, you know what, like, yeah, I can just grind through it, and that's fine.

But it's really difficult to build the appeal Yeah. For a rough like that too, and especially when it's, like, you know, what else like, what about this is gonna be unique? What about this ruck about doing this mileage with you is gonna be different than me going to a park or going into the city and doing it by myself? Yeah. Like, what what's the difference?

Like, why why come and do this with you guys when I have a ruck club, when I have friends who do this? You know, so it's Sure. I think coming down from that distance made it way more approachable for a larger group of people. But at the same time, it's also there's still the the the bar where people know that, like, there's gonna be suffering involved Yeah. Just not as as long.

Yeah. You know? It's not, like, the long suffering. It's not, like, the super big grind

Mhmm.

But it's still there.

Yeah. It was definitely I was it was short being shortsighted on my part because when I put it together, I was like, you know, let's just engineer something super hard and just show up and do it. And I think it was more for my version of hard maybe, and I wasn't thinking as I should have been about everybody else. So I appreciate you bringing me back down to Earth with that. Did you try to talk me out of the 17 mile?

I don't think you did.

You're kinda just like you're crazy. Just get

Yeah. I mean, I knew when we did the first one, it was, like, 26.2. I just, like I feel like I maybe 17 was, like, fine because, like, we're all we knew was the bar of 20 is true. 26.2. So I was, like, oh, 17.

That's, like, 10 miles less almost. Like

A marathon rock is, like, nothing to shake a stick at, man. Like Yeah. Like, that's that's that's a Well, that's that's

what

I I was gonna do first.

I was

like, you

know what?

It's gonna be a marathon rock for for 2 five zero zero one. But then I ran the the walking directions from here to Liberty Bell. And I was like, first of all, this is gonna take a good portion of the day.

Yeah.

And it's, excuse me, 16 miles. So let's just, you know, kinda cap it at that. What Drew's referring to, for everybody watching and listening that may not be, familiar, there was something that was the prequel that preceded the few fest 1, and that was Suckfest. So which we've discussed. Right?

I told you about Suckfest. Briefly. Yeah. So Bedros engineered that

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

We've that, that marvel. And, it was essentially, it was supposed to be a, marathon distance, but I think it ended up being over that. It ended up being almost 30 miles and 4,000 reps over 4,000 reps. So you do, like, 2 tenths of a mile and then, like, 30 reps, and you would just literally repeat that until you reach

there. An all day. Like, that's a

non annual day thing. Dude, What? Is that

3 AM or 4 AM?

I started late because I had some Uber issues. I started at 4:30. I think you started earlier

than that. Maybe started at 3 or 4, and we're all that we didn't get on get done till 7. Mhmm.

Yeah. Yeah. It was it was brutal.

You know, a lot of people will do just a strict, you know, a strict 26.2 mile ruck.

Mhmm.

And that that alone can take 7, 8 hours.

Yeah.

You know, add in add in, you know what was it? How many how many reps?

Over 4000. I think it was 4,300.

Like, in like, you know, that that's that's a big piece. And, like, if you look at if you look at rucking events and their durations, if you if you look at I'm gonna say the standard

Yeah.

Or the or the the regular, event, which are gonna be a 12 hour event. So 12 hours.

Yeah. Would be That's the standard in road king events.

That's, like, kind of. Yeah.

Mhmm. So when people show up, they're ready for a 12 hour?

Some. There there's there's it's tiers. You know? It's it's it's all tiered. But, like, you know, if you look at it if you look at a 12 hour event, you're looking at 12 to 15 miles.

Yeah. Right? So averaging, like, a mile an hour. Yep. But they're also, you know, you have team movements, you have coupons, you have PT, you have a welcome party, you have all these other elements that go into it.

So for, like, when you were saying, like, yeah, man, 17 miles and, you know, a 1,000 reps. It's like, okay. A 1,000 reps is, you know, whatever. Like, you can do cherry pickers, overhead hand claps, or, you know, you could, you know, do whatever you want with that. But it's the time.

Yeah.

And

it's the time under load and time under tension.

Mhmm.

And you're you're getting more accustomed to rucking, and you realize that it's not just Yeah. Throwing a pack on and walking. And especially when you have other people

Yep.

When you're in a city. So now it's not just it's not just, like, hey, you know, we're on a trail or a loop where we can just continuously go.

Yeah.

It's, like, okay, like, we have to wait for traffic. We have to wait for other people. We have you know, there's there's so many other variables to it.

Yeah.

Yeah. So that that's one element of that. And then 2, it's, like, that's a piece, man. Like Yeah. You know, so when you're looking at that, you're you're really taking a scope that could be this big Mhmm.

Of, like, the few even.

Mhmm.

And then you're going to this.

Yeah. Exactly.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. I'm not saying that there's, like, that's inherent,

like, bad. Yeah. But the goal Whatever.

But the

goal is camaraderie and community.

It's a little little little long on the suffering Yeah. The first Yeah. 2 are and you know what? Like, we all finish. Nobody quit 001002.

We had 6 or 7 people each time. Absolute savages. Mhmm. You know? But we yeah.

We were exhausted, bro. Yeah. Like Absolutely. We were tired, and that affected the camaraderie. Of course not.

Plus, there weren't any team movements. It was like, we're all here at HQ. We're having a blast bringing everybody together. We have fun talking about we're all here. But everybody was training separately.

You know what I mean? Like, just social stuff as we kinda broke off and

then We did. Like, it was like

we had, like, 12 people or whatever that happens.

So sitting down with him and brainstorming and saying, like, hey. Are you willing to bring your experience from these rocking events to this? And let's engine engineer something that has the ability to have more connection, more community, was instrumental in 3. So thank you for that. I know I gave you your flowers a couple times, but I wanna give them to you again.

They will. They need refreshing.

I know. Exactly. Yeah.

He's like every day.

Yeah. It's all good. When when Joey decides to show up

at HQ, I'll take him. When he decides to show up.

I mean, every day. Am I not? No. For all. It's been it's been recently recently, it's been there's been some work from home events, but typically there.

It's it's

it's Typical

out there.

I meant to ask you about that on the last show that we did together because you're like, oh, yeah. When whenever you're here, I'm like, well, I'm here all the time, aren't I? But no. You're right.

More than true, though.

Summertime school. For sure. Summertime's tough because of,

you know, my kids and family. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

They get

they get out of school early, so it's a lot of work from home. But, anyway, so let's talk about 3. So, this view fest was a little different. Rock distance shortened. Mhmm.

So from 16 to 17 miles down to 6 to 7 miles. Yep. I don't know what our count was that day, but I'm thinking it was around 6.

I think I think it's closer to 7.

We're closer to 7?

I think

it was closer

to 7, especially once you add in, like, all other movements that we did and stuff Gotcha.

Going

back I I think it was much closer to 7 than 6. Yep.

Starting point changed. Right? So we started, which was amazing. I'm biased party. I love love my city, but we started at the, art museum steps, quote, unquote, rocky steps, in Philadelphia.

We we all met there. We still did rock down to the Liberty Bell Mhmm. And back. So we did, that loop. It was just a shorter loop.

It's a slightly nicer area than Frankfurt.

Yeah. I mean So that was the thing. Like, we went through I mean, basically, we went through Frankfurt. We walked out Allegheny Avenue

Yeah.

For 001002. You know

what I mean?

Right. This was a tour.

Is this a tour of a different caliber?

Different type of tour. Yeah. So, shorter distance, you know, a lot of sights and sounds. Yeah. Yeah.

Arguably, the most beautiful part of the city on the parkway there Yep. Which, you know, I'm hot. Plus, call my neighborhood, my my home. The other amazing thing that you brought to the table was, your friend Brian from Heavy from Heavy Drop Training.

Yep. I

think it's heavy_drop_training Yep. On Instagram. Yep. And not only did he do the programming for the group workouts that we did along the rock, he also engineered some team events

Yes.

For us as well. Yep. So that added a that that was a a massive shift in camaraderie and connection and community. Big time. Literally, like, after our first team game Mhmm.

Event that we did on The Rock.

The Centipede.

Every that was the second one. That was the second one. Yeah. After the first one, everybody opened up. Yeah.

You know?

We did we did the human knot for the first Yeah. For the first, like, group, like, event. So, like, he had we had 2 teams. Mhmm.

And we

did a human knot. We're here to try to untangle. And, you know, we roll. Right? So, like, we we we know what it's like to have to go to, like, you're a stranger.

Let me put my head in your armpit.

Yes. Like,

we like, we we know these things, and we've experienced these things. But even though we know and experience these things, we're not so good at doing it with strangers. Right? Yeah.

Yeah. We still

we still get that. At least for me speaking for myself Yeah. You know, I still get a little bit of anxiety if I'm, like, going to roll somebody new from in in close proximity with somebody new. So being able to do that is it's it's almost an immediate like, we all have the same goal. We wanna get the fuck away from each other.

Right. Yep.

And we wanna do it as, you know, as noninvasively as possible.

Yep.

So but but it's like you start communicating and talking and thinking and figuring out how to do that. So that absolutely forms the camaraderie, like, immediately.

Yeah. And just in general, doing hard things together is literally what builds relationships. I'd say it's one thing that strengthened mine. It's always relationship, my marriage. And even though I just feel like the, the relationships that are built inside of a jujitsu gym are tighter than Yep.

Many relationships in the world. Absolutely. Because you go in there every day and you suffer Yeah. For an hour or 2 a day with the same people over and over again, it it it it brings you closer together.

Yeah. And I think I think one thing that's really missed with that suffering is that I think a lot of people think that, oh, I'm in there suffering. I'm in there getting cranked on. I'm in there having my limbs manipulated. I'm in there having my airway closed.

Like, I'm in there doing that. But what you're not thinking of, what a lot of people miss, I think, is that who you're rolling with is suffering because of you. Mhmm. And what they are giving that to you, so that way you can get better. Yeah.

So it's not it's not I'm suffering, I'm having a hard time, I'm the I'm the one that can't breathe. No. It's it's the other way. Yeah. It's like, you know, like, my training my training partner is under pressure.

My training partner is getting cranked on. My training partner is having to figure out how to work. Like, that's that's where it is. Like, that's the suffering that matters. It's the suffering that your partner and your your your Be

grateful for that.

Yeah. It's what they're giving to you Mhmm. That builds it. And having that respect and that gratitude for it is is immense.

For sure. Yeah. For sure. So we did, how many group workouts did we do? We did 3.

So we did we did the buy in, which is a, so Brian is a he's a wizard.

Yeah.

Like, he he's one, he's he's a highly intelligent dude. He teaches, anatomy, physiology, some something. Neuro.

He's like a professor. Like,

he yeah. He he's he's wildly intelligent. So when he builds these workouts

Mhmm.

They're smart. Yeah. And they're engineered to challenge us challenge us, but to do it in a way that's, like, gonna help prevent injuries and and anything like that. So it's not like this like this

Taking into consideration they're gonna be done on a rock and the rough load and all that other stuff. Correct. Yep.

So we we had the we had the buy in, which was, like, a really basic workout

Mhmm.

That got us warmed up No.

Warm up. Teamed up. Right?

Yep. And then we did a we had we so we were gonna do a midway workout, but we ended up not doing that.

Yeah. We did team events. So we did buy in Yep. Workout, then we did some team stuff

Yep.

Which, you know, yes, we did human up, but we also did buddy carry Yeah. We did a wheel bound. We did the spare crawls, the relay.

Yeah. We had a we had a team, team relay, when, you know, there were 8 8 or 9 of us on each team.

Mhmm.

So we had to go down. We had to sprint, grab a ruck, come back. We had to wheelbarrow, go down, come back with the rucks. So we did that. Yep.

Yeah.

And then we progressed further into the city. And then we had the other team event

Mhmm. Which was

which was blamed upon me. But, you know, everybody

same thing. When we got to Liberty Bell, we did the other team event.

So everyone was, like, saying, oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah. And, like, I hate this, but every single person there was laughing.

Yeah.

Every single person so we did, elephant walks.

Elephant walks. Which So Brian was like, oh, this is Tim. Like, Tim, put this in there.

Wait a minute.

And I did I did. I'm like, what is this? And then and then he's like, okay. Yeah. I mean, you describe it because I don't even know.

Literally, everybody's chained together. One hand through their legs

Yep.

And then And the other hand forward. Yeah. You put your one hand through your legs. The person behind you grabs it.

Legs bet you're shaking hands between legs.

There we go.

And you're and you're and you're walking. So just think of, like, when elephants, like, the the typical, like, elephant chain, like, where they have, like, the trunk around the tail Yeah. Essentially, it's what you're doing with your hands. Yeah.

I mean and and we're making fun And when

we say walking, we're not really talking about walking. We're talking about, like,

the wrong connection. Low shuffle. Like, you're you're bent over and, like, shuffling.

We're making fun, but it's only weird if you make it's like you're just it's only weird if you make it weird.

Yeah. Yeah. And everybody everybody's, like, complaining about it, like,

oh, I

don't like this, but everyone was laughing. Yeah.

It was Everyone was laughing. Memorable. It was it was memorable.

But for You were talking we won't call it human centipede for

Yeah. That's what we're saying.

We're saying Yeah. It's fine. For the book for the book.

You, you were talking to Molly that day, I think. Right? So we're doing this, and we're, like, literally, we're at Independence Hall.

Yeah.

And we're doing this human centipede thing. Right? There's there's a 100 people lined up to see the Liberty Bell. Going.

There was a line, like, around the bill, like, along the entire length of the building.

Of the head.

People's track. Watching. There's all the stuff. Some we're doing the the elephant walk, and some dude comes up to to Molly, and he's like, Molly. And she's like, hey.

And he starts filming it, and then he texted to her. So you had live video.

He's like, what the fuck are you doing? Yeah.

Yeah. He's like,

I'm here with my friends. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So we did, that team event, and then we rocked back to the art museum. And, we had the ton of

love too, which is great.

Oh, yeah. Ton of love. Yeah. Ton of love was cool.

Super fun.

Yep. We can't reveal all of the different team stuff.

Dude, there's we

gotta keep people on their toes.

No. We but but it's not gonna be a good time.

I mean It's gonna change all the time. You would tend to be in a ton of love, like, it got to be, like, if you're, like,

looking for

We just wanted to ask for

We just wanted to ask for

And we did.

This might be a good event to come to if you're single.

Hey. I mean, I had a good time.

I had a good time. So yeah. Yeah. One thing, so after that team event, like I said, we rocked back to the art museum steps and did a a cash out Yep. You know, workout, which was Which

was the more intense workout.

It was especially brutal with the rock on, with the lunges, and the squats after doing the mileage under the load with the rock.

How many pounds were in your guys' rocks?

I had 40. 45? About that. 40?

Oh, okay. Overall.

Like, so Yeah. Overall. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So I

had a 20 pound plate in mind, but I left I think I left all my I left my water in there, I think. Yeah. So it's probably, like, 30, 35 because I had, like

oh, no.

I took the water bottles out because I had a couple extra water bottles

in case

you saw anybody that needed that needed them. So, yeah, it wasn't wasn't like

because I was telling Tim on, like, when, when I got my, GoPro bag on my 1st rock. Mhmm. And I threw 2 £25 dumbbells in there.

It's yeah.

And I was, throwing it back, and I was, like, 1st mile like, 1st mile hours. It's like it's like whatever, but then I hit a hill. And I'm like,

oh my god. That's all.

I mean, I'm just saying, I couldn't imagine after all those miles and then doing the the laundry and shit. Like, I

Imagine doing fucking 17 much. I know. It was wild. And then coming back here and doing 500 reps, dude, we all got to dinner.

They were

like toast.

True. True. You know?

But, yeah, you had the you had dumbbells in there too, which are, like, shifting around. Easy. It's easier.

Look, man. Back in the day back in the day, it was the the requirements were, were measured by bricks.

Mhmm.

So if you were below a certain weight, you had 4 bricks. And if you were above a certain weight, you had 6 bricks. And you would tape the you take those, and you duct tape them together, and you put, have foam, like, they're not not foam, but, like, the bubble wrap.

Mhmm.

Like, you would put bubble wrap around it and tape it.

Yeah.

And then you had you had to have your name, address, and phone number on them. It was checked every time.

Yeah.

Because what would happen is people would just dump their bricks by dumpsters, and people they would call the police because they think they were bombs. Oh, that's wild. So it's, like so it's changed

a little

bit, but, like, after the after after the admin of, like, weight plates and stuff like that. Yeah. Somebody somebody had a stack of bricks at, at our at the Oh, did they really? I forgot who it was, but one of them had a stack of bricks. That's amazing.

That's amazing.

Yeah.

Well, one other thing that, I mean, I I was pumped to do, one other thing that went down for the few fest was a little history tour Yeah.

It was awesome.

Of of Philadelphia

It was amazing.

Which, is basically my retirement plan.

That's so, you know Wild, you know, so much about

Oh, my city, man. What can I say? It's giving me so much. And, you know, I

You guys know about the gallows, the hanging at the fountain?

Yeah. Yeah. Right where Amanda right

where Amanda was standing?

I told him. I was like, look. Like, I'm not your guy if you wanna talk about when when when construction started for this and when it was finished and also, like, I'm not that fat guy. Like, I'm, like, the weird fat guy. So, like, Logan Circle, Logan Square, was basically the gallows.

First of all, it was a mass grave, number 1, up until, like, the 18th century. It's a mass grave and the gallows, so people were executed there. And the last dude that was ever executed in Pennsylvania was executed there.

It's crazy.

And in Swan Fountain is, like, where, like, every kids go to swim, like, dude. You know what I mean? Over the summer. So that's the type of facts I'm I'm bringing on the tour.

That's intriguing.

But it was, it was it was amazing. So, you know, it kinda had the, you know, history, hard work, and hangs Yeah. Type phrase. Yeah. That kinda sums up, 3, pretty well.

Everybody had a blast. I like

The hags came after the fact. Right? Well, hags It was it was during, man.

Like, we had During and after. You know, we had, I think that it was I'm gonna say that it was appropriately challenging.

Mhmm. You

know, I think I think it was you know, I haven't I haven't been training for, like, at all. And, you know, but it was, like, it was fine. Yeah. Yeah. Like, the the PT was fine.

It was fun. And, like, there were hangs. I mean, you know, we're we're rocking through the city, and, you know, we have to communicate. So we have we didn't just have our rucks either. It's, like, Ernest.

Yep. Ernest came with us, of course. Mhmm. But we had Ernest, we had sandbags, we had a jerry can, we had a 5 gallon jerry can with us. So we had to manage all these things as well.

So with that, that includes, like, hey, man, can you take this? I need a break.

Yeah.

Or, like, hey, is everybody good? Does anybody need to switch? Like Grab

some for my pack. Yeah. And

and and there's that that builds the camaraderie too is, like, hey. You've had this for a while. Can I take this from you? Yeah. You know, it's being mindful of your teammates and and and putting in and moving that weight with your team.

Mhmm.

Not just it's not just every man for themselves or everyone, you know, man and woman for themselves. Mhmm. But it's hey. We have to move this weight together. Yeah.

How can how can we do this effectively and efficiently?

Yep. You know? And Everything's gotta return to point a. Yeah.

Everything So everything goes out, everything everything has to go back.

So everybody's gotta work against people Exactly.

That means the people too.

Right? People as well.

So we you know, it's it's being mindful of the team, mindful of the tasks the team has to execute.

Yep.

And but, you know, it also wasn't like a, you know, hey, here's a time hack, and we have to make it by this.

Yeah.

But it was, you know, like, hey, we need to keep moving for sure. Mhmm.

But we

had to also make sure that, like, everybody's good. We had time to hang. Like, we went to the, the, it was by Logan Square. Right? The where the, where we used the the used the bathroom stall.

Oh, yeah. Like, hung up on the grass

for a

little bit.

And Yep. I grabbed the coffee.

Yeah. Yeah. Coffee?

Yep. Yeah. Which I don't know if that truck approves, but I like my espresso.

It's yours.

I was playing dehydrated. Dude, hey. I know it's diuretic,

but I'm happy to. Few Fests is yours. You can do with it what you want. One of my first event that I ever did back in 2014, there were no 7 elevens in Detroit until soon after, like, the Super Bowl that came to town. Because the 7 elevens were so, like, overrun with crime, and so that they they stopped franchising in Detroit.

That's wild. So they eventually started putting them back in. So we were doing this really gnarly movement from, Hart Plaza downtown out to Belle Isle along Jefferson, which is, like, the main drag

Mhmm. One of

the main drags into Detroit. And there is a new 711 there, and we had been carrying a parking block. With us.

Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, the wood.

Like, the concrete like, the concrete. Yeah. John, there we go.

We finally got a John out of you. Yeah. I did say

I did just say John. Yeah.

You did.

So we were carrying one of those, with our other coupons and stuff. Yeah. That's awesome. So

2 person carry on shoulder?

Oh, keep going. Like, 3 or 4.

They're they're heavy. So you hear what I mean?

They're someone that you pull into a spot. Right? Not like a big okay. Okay.

Yeah. It's like it's like the big concrete block that you pull up to.

Okay. Okay.

It stops you. Yeah.

I I knew that there was, like, a bugging bugging. Highway. Yeah. I was

like, no. No.

Not a beer. Imagine that? I can

imagine that.

It would be awesome. Parking space one seems achievable.

You say that until it's digging into

your shoulders.

Oh, no.

I'm not saying it wasn't.

Where does

one where does one acquire a From a parking lot. Where does one acquire one of those legally?

From a parking lot. So, we we stopped at 7:11. Yeah. And it's been a tradition of mine. Like, every time I've gone, like, to I've shadowed a whole bunch of events because I've, used to make photos, of events and stuff, and we stopped at 7:11.

Yeah. Cadre says, dude, you gotta do, you have, like, 10 minutes. So we're like, okay. So what do we do? It's a 7:11.

We go in, and we're coming out with Slurpees because we can. Yeah. Oh, my god. Is like, you rat bastards. We're like, you said that we could do whatever we needed

to do.

Yeah. I needed a slurpee. So, like, ever ever since then, it's been like, I always get a slurpee when

I get out of those events.

When I go to those events, I always, like, have to find something.

We passed a 7 on on our right. You didn't

get a slurpee.

But it wasn't a Yeah.

I understand. I get it.

I was also participating.

So yes.

That's true. I've been used to, like, shadowing for so long that, like, participating has been has been amazing. Yeah. So, like but back to your, you know, I don't know if it's allowed. It's your event.

Yeah. I got it.

You can make it whatever you want.

Well, don't tell me that because the first one was 17 miles. Yeah. Fuck that up. So

Well, yeah.

But but then you can look at

but you can look at participation level

Yeah.

From that

one versus what we just said.

We'll say yeah. I mean, 3 was 4 times the size of our previous 2.

Yep. You

know what I mean? So that

proof's in the pudding.

Do what you want. Believe that one person there. Yeah. Maybe. But it's your I told her.

I I told her for 1. I was like, look. If nobody shows up, I'm doing this. Like, I'll do it my damn self. Like, it's it's happening.

Yeah. That's okay, man. That's that's yeah. That's fine.

But, yeah, I mean, you know, going back to the history thing, I I was really honored that everybody would listen to me rattle.

Yeah.

You know, some some facts about Philly, and I thought it added something a little unique

Mhmm.

To it. So moving forward for the next, few fest, I I do wanna incorporate something like that into into each one.

I think that, like, from my experience, you know, there there's obviously gonna be the group of people that are going just for specifically the teamwork, the hard work. They they want the grind.

Yeah. And then and then that's that's that's a

for sure thing. And there's and there's nothing saying that there can't be another few fests that's more challenging for a longer duration, whatever. Then there's the people who wanna go and, like, who want something other than that

Mhmm.

Who want some sort of value out of what they're experiencing.

Sure.

So that's why there's they have, like, a lot of, like, the themed events Mhmm. Will build in, like, history. Will be will build in, like, these other these

these other this idea up.

Mhmm. I I don't think that, I don't think that they've done just a solely Philly one.

Okay.

So there's been there's been

there's been Hunt Tavern oriented events.

Okay.

But, yeah, it's it's there's there has to be something more than just putting on a backpack and taking a walk. Mhmm. Like, that's that's the thing is

Mhmm.

We're not looking like, when I say we, I when I think of events

Mhmm.

I'm not looking at an event to just go do x y z.

Mhmm.

Like, I'm not like, okay. Like, cool. Like, I can throw on my rock whenever I want.

And go

I can go walk wherever I want, and I can go get PT whenever I want. Like, that's not why I like doing that. I like doing it because I can share that with somebody.

Yeah. Because

it's there's something, like, really special about, you know, we we did ours during the day, but, like, there's something really amazing about being in the small hours with a group of people moving weight. Like, there's something, like, really special about it. So there has to be more of a draw than just the workout.

Mhmm.

Yeah. Sure. It's like jiu jitsu. Right? Like, you don't go to jiu jitsu just for a workout.

You go for college.

Yeah. Yeah. You go to Community.

Skill. You go for community. Yeah. That's so the same.

Amanda, I talk a lot about, like, Broad the Broadstreet run. Right? Literally, like, you're paying now. Yeah. You're you're paying a lot to go run down Broad Street of of to and being a it's a it's a crazy crazy town Mhmm.

During the Broad Street Run when you could go run that mile down Broad Street any other day of the week for free and have a nice nice easy run.

Yeah. Yeah.

Same as, like, 5 k's too. Like, they like like, oh, we're gonna block off this area for for you to pay to run. Yeah. I mean, some of them are for good causes.

I mean, it's the same and and it's it's the same thing.

Like, a lot of a

lot of time you're doing it together with other people.

Yeah. That

that's that's the thing.

Together. That's it. That's

the thing is you know? So and I I think that was one of the biggest I don't wanna say holes or gaps that I saw with, like, double on 1 or 2. But, like, you know, when I was, like, looking at it, I'm like, okay. Like, I get that we're together,

that you

guys are together. But what are you doing together? Like, what what do you what is everybody contributing to for the whole? Yeah. And it's like, okay.

Well, you know, we're doing reps and miles. Like, yeah.

We have, like, 8 sandbag. Yeah. We have 1 sandbag you're passing around, 10 earnest. So but

then it's like, okay. Well, we're gonna amplify that. We're gonna we're gonna make, like, it make us, like, 30 you know, a third of the people have a sandbag. Yep. That changes the dynamic big time.

Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

Like, okay. Well, this person can't carry this the entire time. Yep. So, like, we need to change. We have to change that.

Sure.

So it adds a different dynamic to it, and it adds a different mechanism

Mhmm.

For for that that growth and that team building.

Yeah. That's that's one of the that's one of the special things about Viewfest is that it's evolving based on the community.

Yeah.

You know, like, Viewfest 1, which is a crazy idea I had. Right? Now we had a goal to get the few together in person and all that, but at the end of the day, it's just crazy idea I had. Let's rock from here, from the home of hard work, to the Liberty Bell, the birthplace in the nation. Let's walk back.

Let's bookend it with some reps, and let's get wild. Let's have let's let's let's suffer together. That was supposed to be it. The attendees, the community members that came out for 1, it was their idea to do a quarterly. So right then and there, the community started to evolve the event.

Mhmm. And they're like, look. We can't we're not gonna wait another year to do this. Like, let's do this quarterly.

Yeah. You know what I mean?

Then you came to the table and said, hey. Look. Again, from the community, this is what the community needs, and then it started to evolve again. So, like, I'm really excited to see where it goes. Yeah.

Very, very, very excited to see where it goes.

So, Brian that Brian Singlin from Heavy Drop Training that came in and did the programming, for us for the workouts for us.

Mhmm.

He's been a longtime friend. His first ever rock event, I was there when he did it. Yeah. That was in you know, it was 10 years ago. It was 2014.

He's he's been building heavy drop training for 7 years.

Mhmm.

And he's like I said, he's he's an absolute wizard, but he also offers, sandbag and rock training, like programming.

Oh,

okay. He also does, like they have, like, nutrition. They have, mobility stuff. Like, he has, like, a whole suite of, like, training and performance stuff.

Yeah.

And a lot of it is the majority of it is based around specifically rock and sandbag training.

Okay.

So he also has a series of events.

Mhmm.

And he has he has different events, and one's called one of them is called the throwdown

Mhmm.

Which is a 15 12 to 15 hour event. And then there's a collective, which is also a 12 to 15 hour event, but the collective is this team event. So in the last year, I've done I've done one of each. And then in in his throwdown, it's competitive. It can be competitive.

I remember him telling

me that. Yeah.

So you can go and, like, you get points for performance and stuff like that, and then the collective is, like, the team event. Mhmm. And it's very different from anything that I've from any of the other events that are out there. It's definitely worth doing. I really wanna get one out here so that we can do it.

Yep. But that being said, like, there's something that, like, there's gonna be a way that we can navigate and create something for the next few fest that's gonna appeal to more. Like, you can get more people in the community involved.

Mhmm.

And it's not just it's not just then either. It's not just the event specifically, but it's after the work too. We have the the the camaraderie and and and the the the the community and the connection afterward too.

Yep. Yeah. We were all we were all pretty alive after 3. Yeah. You know, dinner at 001 and 2.

Yeah. Yeah.

Smaller group.

You know

what I mean?

We weren't at HQ. But like I said, we were all exhausted. You know, having so after 3, we had an open house, essentially. So giving everybody the opportunity to come visit HQ, see your new workshop well, not new.

New to HQ. New location. Yeah.

Yeah. New location, you know, here. And then Danny came through with his gang from Movement Art. You know, we did some rolling. Indeed.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Care and Grazingales. Look.

When I when I came upstairs when I came upstairs and I saw this, like, charcuterie, like, magic trick. Art. Yeah. It it was. I felt so bad for about half a second eating it.

And then I was just, like it was absolutely wild. Like, that was just absolutely mind blowing. Yeah. That was that was that was so, yeah, Grazingales Philly.

Grazing Gals Philly on Instagram, if you're, in the Philadelphia area, they will put together a spread, charcuterie, meats, cheeses, jams, fruit, candy stuff Edible. That you've never seen before. You as Tim said, you you will feel bad, like, being the first person that put your hand to the table But

then you'll be happy.

You did. But then you'll be happy. Happy.

You'll be happy.

So, yeah, I mean, it that it was amazing that that hangs.

And it was and, you know, it was nice too because it gave it gave opportunity for other people that weren't available to go to do the event Yeah. To show up.

To show up. Yeah. You know?

And it it was really great having, you know, members of the community, like, of of the, you know, members of the few Eagles come in and, like, just spend time.

Yeah.

Like, and and it's not and it's not, like, it's not about, like, you know, I'm I'm here to work, and it's not about it's just it's just, like, spending time. Yeah. And, like, making that investment, and it's it's amazing. Yeah.

Investing investing in each other. Yeah. I mean, pretty much everybody from 3 that participated came to have been asked, and we had a bunch of other egos come through too, which was amazing. Yeah. Brie even made it.

She was on her way to the few fest to participate with us all day. She had a alternator or a battery issue. Mhmm. She got pinned on on 495 or whatever by Baltimore. Mhmm.

She literally had had her car repaired. She had a tow in repair, and she finished the drive so she could make it here for the open house.

Yeah. And and she brought donations for Philly unknown.

And And very thoughtful.

Before we close out, though, I feel you should give a shout out to Kat.

Oh, I am. Am.

I'm getting there. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm getting there. And she brought she brought me a birthday gift.

Oh, well, that's all that matters.

Amazing green tea.

And look. That's that's that's all

that matters.

All that matters is Joey's birthday. Yeah.

Yeah. That's that's,

that was the important part of I mean That's really the the motive behind the,

I mean, it's

Behind the open house was just a celebrate to his birthday.

Basically. Basically.

We only have him on on that quarter. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

Exactly. Yeah. So, I mean, it was great. It was it was absolutely amazing. I, as you alluded to, I would I would, I could never I could never end the show without without mentioning it.

Kev came through, set your wheels in motion on, Instagram, long time community member, absolute badass, human. He came through. He was going to participate.

Yeah.

But then said, hey. Look. I'm just gonna make it for the open house. My my spidey senses were, like, tingling

a little bit. I was like, some just doesn't

feel really bad.

Why are you driving 3, 4 hours just for It's a

long haul. You know? He's coming, yeah, he's coming from, you know, 3 hours away, 4 hours away, whatever. I'm like, my spidey sense is kinda tingling, whatever. So I talked to him a couple times on The Rock, and he's like, hey.

You know, I'm by HQ. When do you think

you're gonna be back? We hadn't even finished the

the the

event yet.

You know?

So I said, look, man. I'm going to try my damndest. We're gonna finish The Rock. I'm gonna pack up. I'm gonna shower real quick.

I'll get to HQ, like, 2 hours before the open house starts. You know, I'll try to meet you there. Of course, you know, well laid plans. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah.

It it it's just weird.

Traffic, you know, cleaning up, all sort of stuff. I didn't get here till, like, 445. Fortunately, you were here. Danny was here. You know?

So, you know, you broke Kev up. We're riding in the elevator up, and, you're holding was it you or is it Danny?

No. I think I was.

Yeah. You're holding a rifle case. Yeah. And I know it's a rifle case because Yeah.

It's pretty obvious what

it is.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's pretty obvious.

So, like

and Kev works at, shout out Antietam, firearms. So he works at a shop and he has for a long time. People there are great. So I'm like, hey, Tim. Like, what's that?

And he's like, oh, I bought something from Antietam and kept dropping it off. I'm like, that's awesome. I can't wait to see it. I was like, hey. Go upstairs.

What a bro move.

Yeah. Like, I'm like, man, I just I've been working really hard, and I just, like, felt good. Like, I just wanted to get myself a little something.

A little something.

A little something. I'm all soft.

Yeah. I was like, got

myself a bonus.

So heck. Yeah. Right. You deserve it. Yeah.

Yeah. You deserve it. So we get upstairs, and, you know, we're putting ice in a tub, and we're getting the n a's ready. And the the charcuterie is looking good. It's coming together.

And, probably stuff on my face. You know?

And Yeah. No. We we we let him, like, get the whole thing.

Okay. Yeah. We let

him Yeah.

We let him.

So Kev calls me over at the table, and he's like, hey. You know, I wanna give you something. And I'm like, he's got the rifle case sitting in front of him. So I was a pretty smart guy.

I put

2 and 2 together at that point.

Says says the dude who started opening the box for the optic first.

Listen. I was so they had a a box for the optic for the scope in front of it. And he was like, here, you know, I wanna give this to you. And I'm just like I put 2 and 2 together, and I was just so overrun with emotion and gratitude and disbelief, honestly, that I grabbed the box, the empty box from the optic, and I pick it up.

I start to open it in the box.

I start to open the box.

Kev Kev's sitting there. He's like, bro, that's empty. Yeah. Yeah.

He kinda just let me go. I'm like, no. And I'm I'm having an out of body experience at the moment. You know

what I mean?

So I finally make my way around the table to the rifle case. I pop it open, and it's a completely custom built fuel hunt rifle from Antietam.

Yeah. Beautiful.

And and just like an absolute work of art. And you can check out, I don't think they're on the feed, but you can check out my feed. Yeah. Joey Digital on Instagram, and you can you can see pictures of the rifle. Amazing.

I mean, like, I still don't have the words. Like, it's I can't even believe that he gifted that Yeah. To me.

It was and that was a gift. Yes.

Yeah. I I I can't even believe it. It's one of the most remarkable things that anybody has ever given to me, and not just a physical thing Yeah. But but a a gesture, you know, a a nonphysical gesture. Yeah.

The the

thought and the the intent behind it was was huge.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I still honestly, I still don't feel I still don't feel deserving of it. You know what I mean?

I I really don't. Like, I said to him that, like, the greatest gift that he's given me is his friendship over the years. You know? And he's been HQ a bunch. He makes the drive up.

We spend time together. We hit the diner or whatever. Like, that's gift enough, man. Like, this is something that, I just had a hard time even accepting, but I won't put it to damn good use.

Yeah. But that's the that's the point, though. Right? Like Yeah. People who would have an easy time accepting that don't get things like that.

Yeah. Right? That that's that's that's the paradox.

I guess that's a good point.

Right?

Like Yeah.

The people who think they're undeserving Mhmm. Are generally the most. Yeah. So it's like that's that's kind of like the paradox of stuff like that.

Yeah. I I appreciate that. The rifle itself, I mean, just badass. Red, white, and blue.

It's not very camo. Not very camouflage.

No. It's not. It's red. It is red, white, and blue. It is loud.

I love it. It has, you know, fuel hunt eagle, engraved on it. It has it bears the name of the few. Yep. It bears our full mantra, you know, completely custom machined.

It's just it's it's beautiful. Yeah. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. So that was definitely a highlight of of the open house for me.

For and and and for those of us that got to see it happen too. Like, it was

There were a lot of people in on it too. Yeah. Like, that new and Yeah. Everything. So we have a, we have a call of fuel hunt rise call every Wednesday evening.

Started out as an accountability call, and it still is. Like, we still have an accountability framework that we go through. But really, it's just, like, the few getting together on Wednesday night on the phone. And, like, for a few weeks, he was like, oh, yeah. You know, I'm working on this special project and, like, can't say anything about it.

And I'm like, Kev, keep me in suspense, like, you know, the whole time, like, completely, like, oblivious to the fact. I'm, like, asking him about it. I'm like, oh, come on. Give us a little detail. Oblivious to the fact that it has anything to do with me.

He and he and I were actually trying to figure out a way to present it to you at the end of few fest, at the end of Yeah. The workout with with everybody there. Yeah. But it just it just wouldn't you know, we we couldn't make it work out that way. So but, yeah, we were, Yeah.

We were abreast of

the I'm

happy it happened here. Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Because it's like we've spent we've spent a lot of time here together Yeah. At HQ. And then the other thing too is, you know,

Yeah. I mean, that's not hijacked. It's what happened. Yeah. That's that's the that's the truth of what happened.

And that's and that further that further reinforces, like, the the importance of it because that's that's the community. Yeah. Like, that's those are the Yeah. Those are the people in the community that you, like, that you really wanna connect with that that make that community strong and have, like it gives that foundation.

Mhmm.

Like,

so it's not it's not hijacked. It's just it's just tangential.

It's what it is.

It's it's part of it.

Yeah. It's what it is.

With that, like, as you were saying that, like, I would be, like, really remiss if I didn't mention, like, my people that came through.

Mhmm.

You know? Like, I was really stoked to have some of, like, my my people here. You know? And then, like, it's been a big thing for me because, like, no one has ever been able to see my shop. Yeah.

You know? Like, I've had I've had, like, 1 or 2 people see where I was building stuff before. Mhmm. But then to have, you know, a half dozen of my people that come through was, like, really amazing.

Yeah.

And I really like the fact that, you know, a lot of them like, all of them are, like, experienced Rutgers. Yep. And we're we're mixing that with Yeah. Just few who were not as experienced or completely, like, who's completely brand new to.

Yeah.

So, like, having that was, you know, I think a really good mix.

Yep.

And I

think it was good that athletes are seeing different athletes. Yes. You know? Yeah. Exactly.

That was a good, a a really good mixture and really good blend. Yeah.

I would agree.

So you can you can definitely tell who was experienced by how they rolled up

and who Yeah. It's a different it's just a different It's a different culture. Yeah. Whole different. Yeah.

It's completely different. But bringing, I mean, we've done that since the very beginning, like, bringing people together from very diverse backgrounds. Right? Not just, like, ethnicity, but also beliefs to some degree.

You know what I mean?

Mhmm. Not only religion, but political, things like that. Like, we're building bridges, and that bridge is hard work.

You

know? So if you believe in freedom, you believe in hard work, you believe in service to others, you have a place here. And not everybody that walks through the door, the metaphorical door of the Fuwang community, believes all the same things, but they have that commonality.

No. And and we don't need to. Because in as soon as as soon as you get in the communities that believe strictly and only the same things, you're you're just entering an echo chamber.

Yeah.

Exactly. And that provides that provides zero room for challenge and growth.

And growth. Yep.

That that that provides us, like, 0 latitude.

Yeah.

So it's, like, if you're if all you're doing is communicating and speaking with people that only align with you on every single thing, then there's no way to challenge Yep. What what you're experiencing.

Yeah.

So, like, that's that's vastly important. People have forgotten and lost that.

Yeah. Oh, a 1000%. That's why we have that's why I have many of the problems that we have today. You know what I mean? But, yeah, I mean, bringing everybody together from different backgrounds and then to do, like, a bunch of different stuff, dude.

Like, you know what I mean? We're doing team stuff. We're doing conditioning workouts. We're rolling. We're rocking.

Yeah.

We're coming here, you know, in your shop, seeing things being made, you know, in the USA.

Yeah. You know what

I mean? Like, she's amazing. It was a good time. And I'm I'm excited for, I'm excited for 4.

Yeah. I'm I'm super stoked for,

yeah, for 4. Anything else we wanna call out about, 3? I mean, shout out, Levy.

Yeah. Levy Levy made some great shots.

From people doing martial arts. They all came through, shot the event.

Content. Yep.

Yep. Shot the event, captured some really beautiful moments.

Absolutely.

So definitely, check them out, on social. You'll see that we're tagging them in the photos that we're we're posting. So, definitely check them out.

Yeah.

I think, you know, obviously, we've spoken about how this is, like, changing and evolving as we go. Right?

Mhmm.

Is is members of the community are, like, coming forward and saying, well, you know, obviously, that's how it started or how it continued. So, like, members of the community are coming up, and and the fact that you're open to listening and changing is is huge, like, and and and and adapting.

So I

think I think it's a really, like, really important aspect of it. Mhmm. And so I think there's, like, a couple of things that could be improved on, for sure. And I think, like, don't get me wrong. I think it was great.

It was a great time. But I think, like, as people get more accustomed to it, like, you know, we've you know, we kinda discussed, like, it is a rocking event.

Yeah. Yeah.

It it it is a rocking event.

Gotta be prepared for the rock.

Yeah. And and that's not that doesn't just mean being able to put a backpack on and walk.

Yeah.

You know? And, you know, we we provided a gear list. Yeah. An intentional thought out gear list, though it was small.

Mhmm.

It's

it's important that those boxes are getting checked.

Especially for, you know, we won't let the cat out of the bag, but for what we have planned for 4, it's gonna be critical because, there's gonna be some elements involved, the winter, all

that stuff. Regardless, it's wintertime.

Yeah.

You know, at bare minimum, people are gonna have to have a backpack with backup stuff in the event that, it's gonna be in the winter. So if it gets wet, if it gets cold, they have to have something to switch out to or something, like, another layer to put on. They have to have hydration.

Yep.

So these are all things

that we're not

putting this list together just to just to give, like, people, like, a point of friction if they don't have it. Mhmm. The list is so that way they're equipped to

Yeah. Go out

and take advantage of this as best they can.

Yeah.

For

sure. Because, you know, we're out you know, we were out for, what, 7 hours? Yeah. 6 hours, something like that. And it's like, yeah.

Like, we're in the city. Like, we can stop and get get drinks stuff if we need to. Yeah. But at the same time, it's like, we're also we also need to be self reliant, and we need to have the things that we need to have as individuals. So that way, the team is good.

Yeah. Yeah. But with the upcoming one, like, it's gonna be, I think it'll be, like, a critical thing to make sure that all these points are hit

Mhmm.

On that simply because of, like, elements.

Yeah.

And with where it may or may not be Yep. We won't have the access or availability to Yeah.

There's not gonna be a convenience store. Right. Right.

You know

what I mean? We're not gonna be passing 10 convenience stores on Market Street in Philadelphia. Right. So, FuFest 4, right now, tentatively going down on December 7th. So we're speaking about winter and the elements.

It's gonna be in December. Yep. As of right now, it is going to be more suburban than urban.

Suburban. Yeah.

Yeah. Suburban than urban. So, yes, like, you know, coming prepared is going to be critical.

Yes.

And, you know, part of that too is, like, for me as a leader, you know, I need to set a bit of a better example because I'll just throw my backpack on and do it. And that's that's not gonna cut it.

You know what I mean?

That's not gonna cut it. So, more details for 4 in the coming weeks, but we're we're cooking over here. We're cooking. We're cooking.

Yeah. I'm I'm I'm excited for I'm excited for this one.

It's Yeah. Yeah. And, we won't be an open house afterwards. The house will be open. The house of firework will be open,

but, hopefully,

we can do, like, a little holiday

Little Christmas party.

Christmas party. Little holiday. White elephant. Little white elephant. Not elephant walks.

White elephant.

What do

we do? Often walks soon while

we're doing the white elephant.

Or they could be white elephant.

Polyanna. I don't know what that's the

same and and polyanna are different things.

Oh, are they?

They want I have no idea.

A white elephant is a

form of polyanna.

Oh, I wonder if you have to idea what polyanna is. Now I'm versed. Tim has versed me in the elephant walk. So now you can verse me in the

Well, we're

not now, but another time white elephant.
