“When things get hard, make every step count.” Link in profile to the short film about Kevin Davis - a gritty ultra runner and backcountry hunter, husband and father, and all-around good guy. • • • #hunt #hunting #alaska #mountaingoat #biggame #teamhunt #goathunting #stoneglacier #onxmaps #backcountryhuntersandanglers #backcountryhunting #schnees #publiclands #bethere #sharethespectacular #afewstepsfurther https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPbXw9Fviw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wjmg37et13bq

Kevin Davis traverses the San Juan Mountains during last year’s Hardrock 100. Bridging the gap between endurance sports and backcountry hunting, my latest film, “A Few Steps Further” follows Davis as he experiences the struggles and rewards of public lands recreation. @backcountryhunters and @runwildmissoula have teamed up to present a screening of the film August 14 in Missoula. I’d love to see you there! • • • #trailrunner #running #run #traintohunt #morningrun #bemtntough #hardrock100 #sunset #mountains #trailrunner #ultrarunning #publiclandowner #publiclandsproud #publiclands #afewstepsfurther (at San Juan Mountains)

Hardrock 100, The End. KD tries to ignore me as I struggle for oxygen while pacing him over Engineer Pass. Also: Found - one pair of sweet plastic, peach-colored glasses somewhere on the Hardrock 100 course. Call to claim. • #hr100 #hardrock100 #ultrarunning #trailrun #afewstepsfurther (at Engineer Pass)

Hardrock 100 Part 10: Kissing the rock. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming... • #hr100 #trailrunning #trailrun #hardrock100 #finishlinekisses #afewstepsfurther (at Silverton, Colorado Elev. 9,318)

Hardrock 100 Part 8: Sometimes you have to swim to the bottom of the pool to find out how deep you can go. • #hr100 #afewstepsfurther #ultrarunning #trailrunning #trailrun #hardrock100 #run #mountains #getoutside (at Island Lake)

Hardrock 100 Part 7: After struggling through the night with a bad stomach, KD is back on track with a mere 11 miles to go. • #hr100 #afewstepsfurther #ultrarunning #trailrunning #trailrun #run #runsteepgethigh #trailmarkers (at Silverton, Colorado Elev. 9,318)

Hardrock 100 Part 4: He looks tired, but I'm pretty sure KD is just getting warmed up on his trek up 13,000+ foot Engineer Pass. • #afewstepsfurther #hr100 #trailrunning #ultrarunning #mountains #morningrun #run #hardrock100 (at Engineer Pass)

Hardrock 100 Part 1: We sent this guy off into the high peaks of the San Juan mountains at 6 am this morning. He'll spend the next roughly 30 hours traversing 100 Miles, crossing over 14,000 foot Handies Peak and traveling the distance at an an average of 11,000+ feet of elevation. The best part about Kevin's Davis though? He'll do it all with a smile on his face. • • • #afewstepsfurther #hr100 #hardrock #100miles #run #trails #trailrun #trailrunner #trailrunnernation #trailrunning #ultrarunning #exploretocreate #passionatepeopleportraitproject (at Silverton, Colorado Elev. 9,318)

The road to Hardrock has many twists and turns. Also, it's not paved. #hardrock100 #afewstepsfurther #morningrun #trailrun #trailrunner #trails #run #running #runwild #traintohunt #trainingday #mountains #ultrarunning #bridgermountains #baldyquad (at Bridger Mountains)
