Today we've got the one and only Pat McNamara joining the show. We chat about his experience with traditional archery and his journey through illness and recovery. Pat shares how he was drawn to traditional archery after witnessing it at Winter Strong events and how it provided a mental escape from his chronic illness. He discusses his battle with polymyosarumatica, a rare disease that caused chronic pain and limited mobility, the importance of discipline and self-governance, the benefits of natural approaches to healing and the role of accountability in maintaining discipline. We also get into his experiences in the military, including his time in Special Forces and Delta Force, the challenges he faced during training and the differences between the 80s and 90s compared to the post-9/11 era, his transition out of the military and the difficulties he encountered in finding his new path. Of course, we also chat about Basic Dude Stuff.
