I want to go on a sheep hunt but don't know if I can handle it. Have never been on a backpack hunt. Never owned a backpack.
Age 67
Bodyfat 12% weight 180. Resting HR 52.
Have been doing CrossFit for 6.5 years. Placed about 55 in CF open (scaled) two years ago. Will likely be same this year.
Dead 285#, backsquat 225#, press 112.5#. Do CF 3-4x weekly.
I also do a dedicated strength routine 3x weekly.
Knees hips ankles and back 100%. No ROM limitations. Can do full squat and maintain form. Hip crease below knees.
No orthopaedic limitations.
Never done a backpack trip and am intimidated by the idea of it.
Do you think I can do it and what can I do to get ready.
Yukon or NWT sheep hunt. Carry 40# plus rifle.
Your input appreciated.
At SCI and need to make a decision. Feel like a 14 yo going on a first date.
Thanks.
