We hunters are always looking for an edge.
The challenges of making it through everyday life while also trying to find time to enjoy the outdoors can be draining.
In the past decade, a few companies have popped up with supplements targeted towards outdoor and wilderness athletes.
With claims of improved focus, better endurance, higher performance, and sustained energy, we had to put them to the test.
This article compares the two leading companies, Wilderness Athlete and MTN OPS, head to head and tells you who we think the winner is.
Wilderness Althlete Vs MTN OPS
Top Pick
- BOOST STAMINA & ENDURANCE - YETI is formulated to increase stamina and endurance, allowing you to push through barriers and achieve new heights in your fitness journey.
- CONQUER ANY CHALLENGE - MTN OPS YETI helps you mentally and physically prepare for your toughest challenges, ensuring you're ready to tackle any workout or activity.
- DELICIOUS FLAVORS - Enjoy a range of delectable flavors with MTN OPS YETI, making it a delightful addition to your nutrition routine.
After researching and testing a number of their products, we selected MTN OPS Yeti as the winner. If you are limited to buying only one supplement for increased energy and focus, this is the one to try. We noticed an increase in sustainable energy for 2-3 hours after consuming this product. Additionally, we didn’t experience any jitters or notice an energy crash as it wore off.
The ingredients are a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, creatine, and caffeine. These give your muscles and mind the fuel it needs when working hard.
We have tried this supplement both before a workout in the gym as well as on a hike outside and found it to work well in both situations. The quality of our workout was improved and we felt less tired towards the end of the workout.
This allowed us to keep pushing ourselves. The quality of our sets at the end of the workout were better and we were able to overcome our fatigue.
MTN OPS
MTN OPS offers a variety of supplements aimed at outdoor athletes. We focused our review on two of their most popular offerings, Yeti and Enduro.
- BOOST STAMINA & ENDURANCE - YETI is formulated to increase stamina and endurance, allowing you to push through barriers and achieve new heights in your fitness journey.
- CONQUER ANY CHALLENGE - MTN OPS YETI helps you mentally and physically prepare for your toughest challenges, ensuring you're ready to tackle any workout or activity.
- DELICIOUS FLAVORS - Enjoy a range of delectable flavors with MTN OPS YETI, making it a delightful addition to your nutrition routine.
While it wasn’t our top pick, MTN OPS Enduro is a great choice for those who want a supplement without caffeine. It is more focused towards endurance athletes. Enduro great choice for adding to your water supply during a hunt requiring a lot of hiking.
One of the reasons we think we may have preferred the Yeti is because it contains creatine. Creatine is scientifically proven to increase power output and performance.
We also noticed that it helped with post workout soreness. We feel like we saw increased gains while using it.
Neither product gave us the jitters and we didn’t experience the energy crash that other preworkouts give us.
Wilderness Athlete
Although we selected MTN OPS as our winner, the products we tried from Wilderness Athlete were effective as well. Our favorite was the Hydrate and Recover.
- Advanced Hydration Powder - The best tasting scientifically formulated hydration drinks.
- Combat Muscle Cramps - The optimal balance of electrolytes will help your muscles retain water.
- Recover Fast - Sports nutrition hydration products fortified with BCAAs for enhanced muscle repair.
Hydrate and Recover is a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and other substances aimed at improving your endurance and helping your body replace depleted resources.
We drank some of this on a long hike through the woods. We found we were less fatigued and didn’t feel as exhausted afterwards. The difference was certainly noticeable.
Other users have reported that it eliminated cramping and improved their energy after a hard workout.
Wilderness Athlete was founded by Mark Paulsen with the goal of creating supplements targeted towards outdoor athletes. As a former NFL athlete, he felt the benefits of sports nutrition could be applied to outdoor activities to increase performance. All of their products are based on scientifically proven formulations.
Summary
So there you have it. If you can only select one, we recommend MTN OPS Yeti but we found that both companies provide quality supplements that work. If you are like us, you will appreciate the improvements that come along with using these supplements.
As hunters in the modern era, we are often faced with many demanding and challenging complications that come along with everyday life. We are always on the lookout for ways to help us confront and overcome these challenges so we can perform at our best.
