I wanted to write you and let you know my thoughts on Wilderness Athlete product after using it for about a month for both, physical training and conduction missions. I think it is a really great product. First, I will start with missions: We often leave on missions tired and get even more tired on the mission. I would take the ENERGY & FOCUS just before we went on a mission to help pump me up. Usually for a raid it would last the duration of the mission and I would take the HYDRATE & RECOVER upon return. On missions of longer duration like sniper hides, I would take several packets of both out and use them continuously. I really like that the HYDRATE & RECOVER has Glucosamine in it as well. Another advantage to ENERGY & FOCUS is I didn't notice a “crash” effect once it wore off, which happens with other supplements I have used before, and also caffeine pills or red bull. For long foot patrols I would always take the ENERGY GEL with me for a burst of energy when I began to get tired. And I would always take the High Energy bars out with me, which were great to eat on the move. I got to the point to where I would not go out without taking at a minimum the ENERGY & FOCUS and HYDRATE & RECOVER before departing friendly lines. I feel they help me perform better while patrolling and keep me at a heightened state of awareness, as well as help with mission accomplishment. As far as working out back here I used the products quite a bit as well. I workout everyday, but alternate between running/swimming and the gym. I tried using Alert for the gym and it is better than nothing for sure … For running/swimming (or any cardio) I found a combination of ENERGY & FOCUS and HYDRATE & RECOVER to be my best option. I would take the HYDRATE & RECOVER both before and after my workout. The Alert would provide me with a burst of energy that would last long enough for me to do extensive cardio training and at the end still feel the effects without the crash effect. And of course I always love the High Energy Bars and often have a couple when I miss a meal. I handed all the products out to my team and they all have similar feelings. Everyone wishes the Corps would hand these out to us before missions like they hand out Motrin or Naproxen. Everyone swears by this stuff for missions and would like to get some more, as we have used everything. We were wondering the best way to go about ordering some more and were not sure if you had a website or we needed to call. I want to thank you again for the samples and for introducing me to these products. Also everyone in my team wants me to thank you as well.
Thanks Again,
Sgt. Gibson from the USMC, RECON

I’m a wildland firefighter with the USDA Forest Service as well as an avid bowhunter. Last season my brother bought an assortment of Wilderness Athlete products for me to try while working on the fire line. From our busy spring fire season in the Great Lakes states through the Western fire season in Idaho and Montana, I used WA products consistently. In 11 years of fighting fires and looking for that nutritional edge in extreme conditions, I’ve never come across anything that works as well as Wilderness Athlete.
