[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1875404, member: 48559"] I did my first Rocky Mountain elk hunt in 2007. Spent 3 years rehabilitating my bad back to get ready, or so I thought. I survived, barely. Next trip was in 2016. Hiked my weighted pack every weekend from March til the trip plus gym time during the week. Much better experience on the trip. When I came home (to PA, altitude ~600 to 1200 ft) I decided it would be simpler to STAY in shape than to try to "get into shape" each time. That winter I stumbled across kettlbells for the first time. Between the KBs, the cross-country ski machine and rucking I pretty much stay ready all the time. Flying out 3 days before the opener to acclimate, and drinking energy+focus mixed with Hydrate+recover (Wilderness Athlete products) at breakfast and supper in camp seem to do it for me. [/QUOTE]
