Co worker dropped a 43' tree on me at work, the fact I'm alive is a gift from God. I lost 87lbs the last 2 years after putting on a bunch of weight after a near fatal car accident. Mtntough changed my whole outlook on life along with my faith. Because i was ready i was prepared for the tree, shattered my arm, 8 total fractures. In the past this set back would have ruined me. Now i just put my keys back on the counter and am going to walk 6 miles to my kids daycare to pick them up. May not sound like much, but i now stay ready for anything life has instore. My gratitude and my commitment are yours. Stay dangerous
Fired up. Love the message. Staying ready was something I always did in the past, but never really gave much real consideration until I got married and had a family. I have to be much more intentional about my training now so I can be present with my family as much as possible.
Couldn’t agree more. Over the years as a firefighter, have worked with many guys who take our down time for granted and sit around- even did so myself for a while. Started mtn tough programs late last November and that saying has rung so true so many times. We have an obligation to our families as fathers and to our fellow community to always be ready for anything that happens. Don’t have to be a first responder or military to be the first to respond to help someone and potentially save a life. Always be ready physically, mentally, and spiritually. Only the Lord knows what is going to happen and when it will, not us. We have to be ready to respond to those situations and destroy the culture of complacency.
I love everything about this video. I remember really getting serious about "Always Ready" about 12 years ago when I turned 40. I started to eat better, workout with more regularity and purpose, and to approach being ready and strong in all aspects of my life - physical, financial, relationships, spiritual. About 6 months into my new life training, my then 5 year old daughter was hit and run over by a large truck while riding her bike. Tire tracks and road rash on her side, she miraculously lived. I recall her long road of recovery necessitated me lifting her many times a day from a bed to a chair to the bathroom to the bedroom, etc. It was an honor and my duty as her father and as a husband to be "READY" for that opportunity to serve my family - with the strength required. Always Ready means a lot to me now, more for hunting, adventure hikes, climbing and cycling these days. But I will never forget what Always Ready first meant to me 12 years ago.
Boy Scouts motto… “ be prepared “. And being physically, mentally, emotionally prepared for such unimaginable events let’s you actually be able to render help to those that were not ready.
This is awesome. I think being always ready is understanding different enviorments as well. I live in Hawaii and their are tourist who under estimate the power of the ocean. They should take the time to understand the currents and surf conditions before even coming to Hawaii. And if they dont know they should talk to lifeguards. Mahalo🤙🏽
Please consider sharing this video with your family and friends. We need more people applying these principles in their lives.

Thank you for sharing this story.
Absolutely. When you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.
