[QUOTE="Hoss Smith, post: 1637336, member: 109074"] Nothing like climbing. Put on your day pack and start with light weight. Go to your local football stadium and walk up, across, and down across and up. The down has different physical implications. Wear your hunting boots. Add weight weekly to the pack. You want to be carrying more weight than you will hunting a couple weeks before you go. Start with 30 minutes and add time weekly. Hydrate, super hydrate for altitude. We bring folks to the 7500 - 9000 foot level from the 300 ft level several times a year. Altitude will be a problem regardless of your conditioning, but the better physical condition and better hydrated you are the easier it will be and faster recovery. I’m not as young as many of you and I find hiking / bleacher climbing three days a week and bike riding in the hills 3 day’s a week worked well when I lived at low altitude and am conditioning.
