10 miles on the stationary bike and 120 pushups. I'm a creature of habit.

I did 15 minutes on the rowing machine Tuesday, and thought I was going to die. I have zero ability to pace myself on that thing, but I bet I'll figure it out eventually. If its a C2, learn to read the Erg and pace yourself on that. If its not a C2, then I'd reccomend finding one. Keep in mind when you're dispensing your advice that some of the guys you're advising do hunts every year that you can only dream of.

Not even close to what I said, but what a surprise that you found a way to inject that into a disussion on fitness for backpack hunters. And when I mentioned "hunts you can only dream of" I wasn't talking about taxidermy, I was talking about the physical demands of the hunts that guys like Chris do every year. Which is what this thread is about.

Is Bluemonday Squattopee? How'd you guess? Was it the pathological need to sound like an authority on the subject, no matter the subject?

Which is what this thread is about. Again, you're on the money Smoke. I'm clueless about "physical demands", as well. Again, not remotely what I said. My comment was not about you, as much as you'd like it to be. It was about the guys on this forum that you presume to give advice to.

Went for a good run this morning. Things are looking great. I've been hiking up the steepish trail 2x a week with 35lbs on my back at a fast of a pace as I can go, and that seems to have really helped my running.
Going to climb some mountains in a few weeks to go hunt some ptarmigan.

You kids...  For the record, BM is right... the C2 is the schidt, and pacing is stupid easy if you have even an ounce of self control. I just need to keep it 2:10 plus for the first 5 minutes or so, let things warm up, before I go thinking I can actually row. And I do have some sweet taxidermy, so... thanks!

Calvin, are you getting ready for the alpine, or do you have goat plans for this year?

Maybe goat. The boss asks me to go every year, and I haven't been able to go yet as it takes a pretty good wx window. He got a great billy last year I was over on etolin, so maybe this year will be the year. I'm not the biggest fan of float planes though..(grin)
But, I'm sure I'll spend a fair amount of time in alpine this year. More boat/longer range 3 day type hunts. If you ever get the urge to burn some AK air miles and hunt big bucks, head on down.
