Keep Hammering - The Cam Hanes Story

Travis with @elevation0m proposed teaming up in a documentary style film recently. I hesitated as I explained my story has been shared many times and actually I’m kind of sick of hearing about Lift-Run-Shoot, no sleep, hammering, etc., so imagine what the haters must feel like? He countered that he thought his vision could be different and that as a filmmaker he wanted to take on the challenge.— •

I said, “Well, let’s see how bad you want to make this happen...be at my house at 2:45 a.m. tomorrow and we’ll get this party started.” And, he was.—• We started there and ended at the @huntexpo just a few days ago and in between he talked to my mom, who like all moms makes me seem more special than I am, and talked to @wayneendicott1354, who much like my mom, as a lifelong friend believes in me more than anyone since Roy Roth. They said things I’d never say but I guess that’s the point of a documentary?—• I’ll give a disclaimer and tell you that if you don’t like me you’ll probably really not like me after this and if you like me before watching it, hopefully you still do after?— This is my life and it’s not perfect, but I’m not apologizing .—•
🔨 I’m flawed in many ways; blessed more than I deserve but still have a chip on my shoulder it seems? I love many, but trust few. I’ve feel pain but try to convince myself I’m bulletproof while being weak and lacking confidence. Life is messy and beautiful. In the end, if this film gives a kid like I was hope that if they work hard dreams can come true then I’ll be happy. If they realize that even if no one believes in them and their heroes are gone, all hope is not lost. If they believe in themselves...that’s all it takes. 🙏

Nothing great ever happens when are you warm and comfortable

This was something special I was meant to watch.
I have been following David Goggins during 2018 to present. In most of his videos, he talked about a guy named Cam.
I had been struggling since my dad passed away from cancer last October. It shattered me. Being lost and confused. Not wanting to run my online business because I had lost my spark. So, since then, I took some time to work on myself and see what lessons I can take to strengthen me and motivate me to be hungry for my success. Is watching this video and many more to focus on my main goal. Be a great dad to my son and be more hungry and obsessed to love what I do, so I never work another day. Cam and David are my biggest role models to tap into a mindset that you will be forever proud of living your best life ever. Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement to really become my best version of a dad and a loving partner.

Because of Goggins, and this guy i signed up for trail half marathon. Was tough as hell, endless hills but already signed up for another one in August. Gotta push through the pain

[jedhuf]

Been a while since I’ve seen this one. Still hits the heart. Loss of my dad is a similar story. Miss him.

Cam, Thank you so much for sharing your story, I have run 72 Ultra Marathons since I quit drinking 17 years. I am going to keep adding Ultra Marathons for as long as God and my body will allow. I love your work ethic. I am also a loving husband and dedicated Elementary School Music Teacher. Keep sharing and inspiring. I completely understand how your wired.

Something that stuck to me when he said "this isn't hard hard is cancer'

[glenncharles]

Inspiring... 60 years into this life of mine and one thing I have learned that is always true. there is no substitute for hard work and putting in the effort!!

[mustlearnmore]

That final message at 14:16 really hits home the important work that Cameron is doing. He's inspiring thousands of people across the world, myself included, to be better people, to have hope and self-belief, and to keep pushing forward no matter what life throws our way. God bless you, Cam 🙏🏽🔥💪🏽🔨🔨

When I need to recenter, and need that push to keep things going, this is my Cam Hanes classic go to. Classic! Cheers Mr. Hanes..

[wolvesnight]

Who would have thought that bowhunting, running and weightlifting would ever go together? I am here to tell you it did and still does....bowhunting will change you, and nature will heal you..why cause you share what the animals live and breath.. "may it never die" 🙏 amen.

[Kush]

The longest I've run is 10 miles non-stop. After seeing Cam, Zach, and especially D. Goggins, my new goal is 15 miles.

[tonicortone]

Thanks for share your history, the breakthrough was heavy.
I think that the way you focus all the pain its crazy, i think that lost one of your parents made a huge impact on everyone's life.
Love y'all ❤

The human body goes much further than people give it credit for.

Greatness is so close to everyone, it’s just on the other side of discipline & dedication. It’s hard.

[angeloskadis]

“ it’s all about reps and consistency- there’s no shortcut” 💪🔨🔨🔨!

[scotchbarrel]

That was so effing beautiful... "Make friends with pain, and youll never be alone again", as someone who knows your story, and have always enjoyed training, i feel you 😂👊😎

[nicholaskoenig]

What a unique story.
Makes me wanna get back out and do some hunting. Already bring a world of pain on myself. Cam's Pops would be proud AF.

[TheJakeStream]

You're an awesome dude Cam! Lots of love from South Africa
