I just cant...

[Hilljackoutlaw]

I really just can't stand this man! I'm a lover of all people, but my lord he is just so full of crap and full of himself. I run a mile before school every day when I was 5...grinding! The struggles and sacrifices! Everything is a grind and hard for this man. Maybe try a new approach and life won't be so hard Cam.

Why even think about him? He lives rent free in your head. Weird stuff man…

I don't think about him, I just saw the article while having my morning coffee.

 

[Brian in Montana]

I used to like his articles in Bugle. The few times I saw him on that hunting show, whatever that was, I wasn't impressed. Seemed pretty theatrical and, as the OP said, full of himself.

I just wish the man would do hard things without shouting about it. Do hard things for yourself, not for a bunch of internet fanboys. I did an ice bath this morning too. It's really not that hard.

This is the mentality that allows this type of persona to infect all aspects of the outdoor world. "jUsT dOnT tHiNk aBoUt iT mAn!"

When this guy gets his image/quotes/signature into all sorts of hunting/endurance athlete media all of a sudden when criticized he's "living rent free". I strongly disagree. If you want to put yourself out there to be "an ambassador" you automatically open yourself up for criticism. It goes both ways.

From another thread on here, sounds like he doesn't take criticism very well, blocking people who aren't 100% on board with the life.

Rule number one in the epic struggle of self promotion is to market the reality that critics are an affirmation that your life is hard therefore “keep hammering” merch is an essential part of every successful hunters gear.

Odd thing to think about drinking morning coffee. I'm usually thinkin about the dreaded drive to work.

 

[TOGIE]

the man literally lives off his haters. it's all he thinks about, it's all he talks about, it's basically the central theme of his brand. it is his ethos and his food, it sustains his hammering.

therefore, to choke his momentum, we must praise him.



may the hammering be with you.

 

[Steiny77]

You know how to tell if Cam Hanes worked out and was hammering today?
Stick around a couple minutes and he will tell you.

“If you’re not obsessed, you’re going to be mediocre.”​

Man, STFU.

 

[HighDesertSage]

Fuggin haters, all of you..talkin' shit...

 

[TwistedSage]

Would run a mile before school every day at the age of 5 for a challenge. Almost reads like satire. Who knows maybe dude isn't really just a caricature of himself

 

[Gus Chiggins]

Get nailed or hammer all the nails? No, wait...

If it wasn't for the internet fan boys he wouldn't have a reason of doing anything.
