About — Christian Saugmann
About
Read all the books. Watched every YouTube channel. Still feel clumsy in the field. Still one click away from buying another scope to fix it.
That's not a knowledge problem. It's a structure problem. The gear devil doesn't want you to figure that out.
I'm Christian. 30 years hunting across three continents. Still fighting the gear devil.
F.A.P.L.E. is the system I built to stop losing the fight.
If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
The longer version
I've hunted solo, as a client, a little bit as a guide, and once a week through a season helping a friend run a deer-management outfit. I have made most of the mistakes in the book, or seen them being made. Sometimes in front of an audience.
The other half of my story is twenty years working in product and sales. Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. I take process further than most. Sometimes further than I need to.
That's who I am. And it's what helps you.
F.A.P.L.E. is what happens when those two halves meet. Fundamentals, Application, Preparation, Logistics, Execution. A hierarchy that lets you hold the complexity of a hunt without going into overload.
Steward of Nature is the why. Hunting that gives back. Cooking what you kill. Raising what you can. Family in the woods. Walking the land as a guest, not a tourist.
What you'll find here. Long-form writing on hunting and structure. A newsletter where the work goes deeper. The e3 Hunter app, where F.A.P.L.E. does the work for you.
