In Part 2 of our deep-dive with Kyle Kamp, Founder of Valley 2 Peak Nutrition, we get into the gritty, practical, real-world fueling strategies hunters actually need in the backcountry.
Kyle breaks down how to build a full day of food on the mountain, why most hunters bonk under high-intensity output, how to time slow and fast digesting carbs, and why protein is often misunderstood in the field. He even shares the exact system he used on a 10-day Alaska sheep hunt — from DIY granola and high-protein muffins to electrolytes, gummy carb boosts, and “feedings” spaced throughout the day to maintain energy.
This episode also covers:
• Dehydrated vs freeze-dried meals — and why familiarity matters
• Why “calories per ounce” can mislead hunters
• How age, recovery, and digestion change what you should pack
• Fueling for high-output hunts vs low-movement glassing days
• How carbs, fats, and proteins actually convert to usable energy
• The biggest backcountry nutrition mistakes Kyle sees
• Kyle’s personal failure that became the spark behind Valley 2 Peak
• Rapid-fire questions to close out the show
Whether you’re packing in for 10 days or simply want to stop “hitting the wall” on day two, Kyle provides a clear, hunter-friendly roadmap for eating in the mountains without overcomplicating it.
