Day 5 of the Gauntlet brought tired men to the brinks of their limits, especially YHC, some men though rose to the occasion and ran beast mode on the smoker! Great effort from these men!
The men of smokehouse welcomed the 34 gauntlet attendees to their home turf and we were smoked.
Map far we’ve had 210 pax over 5 days with 22 men making it all 5! Great work!
Here is how the smoker went down!
Huge thanks to Babe, Nub, and Urkel for prepping this course and giving us the run down!
Condtions: moist and humid
the thang:

This course tested or boundaries and limits and we were worn thin, but we completed it and the rain even held off for the duration of the event!
Tomorrow we head to ambush for day 6! Hammer down
devo: Big props to Rabbi for the devo and reminding us that shadrach, meshach and obednego, survived the fire because of Jesus, and their clothes didn’t even smell like smoke! So too Jesus wants us to survive the fires and come out better not even touched by the smoke! Great word!
