"Bull of the Woods" with Connor Morse | S2E4

What does it take to go from a 4-H competitor in Nova Scotia to representing Canada on the world stage?

In this episode of Double Bitter, Kim and Ryan sit down with third-generation dairy farmer and STIHL TIMBERSPORTS athlete Connor Morse.

Connor shares how he progressed from youth competitions to the collegiate woodsmen circuit, won the 2018 Canadian Rookie Championship and joined Team Canada at the World Championships in Liverpool. He also opens up about managing nerves, learning from some of Canada's greatest competitors and developing the technique required to compete against much larger athletes.

The conversation goes deep into the side of TIMBERSPORTS most fans never see: the thousands of dollars invested in specialized equipment, the challenge of training through a Nova Scotia winter, the enormous impact of wood selection and why the current elimination format doesn't always reward the most complete athlete.
