Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting 2018 Fitness- Workout thread

I like about a week of doing nothing but eating before a backpack hunt.

And two weeks after....

I am going out to the local Ruby Tuesday where they have the best blue cheese dressing along with blue cheese crumbles!

double blue cheese for the win!

There is nothing that awakens the appetite quite like a proven sneeze guard....

3 miles, ~900’ of gain in the first 1.5 miles; oh yeah a 40 lb pack too!

Gym for me today, lower body + core.

2 mile hike this morning with 85 pounds and then got a 2.5 mile trail run in this afternoon after work before the rain really set in.

Been wearing my dogs out with early morning walks with me wearing my weight vest. I try really hard to get 4 miles in as close to an hour as I can. Wouldn't be too hard, but the dogs demand we stop and give them time for a dump, pee, or an interesting smell. Days when I work I get up early and do my walk. When I get home I do 20 minutes of AMRAP kettlebell swings. Days like today that I'm off, I do my walk and later do burpees. Then at Sundown I take an additional walk. The weight vest walks hit my core really well. Throw in cold showers and I feel really good when I get in bed and fall asleep.

Stairmaster: 15minute intervals

taking today and tomorrow off- we’re doing a two day, 60 mile fastpack into the Bob Marshall this weekend

Nice and cool and not TOO smoky (ugh) so, 5-mile morning walk.

Had a great several days off after the month of mayhem prior. Got a truckload of new work dropped on me yesterday so back into the salt mine I descend for the next month or so. Gotta do better about working out. The smoke is a huge bummer in that regard. Basically shuts down outside aerobic activity.

400m speed walk with 2.5oz ankle weights....throwing my heart over the bar.

3mile 40 pound pack hike.

Stairmaster: 15minutes

PNWild--Day1

3 mile hike with an 85 pound pack, and some good elevation gain/

Did an easy 4 1/2 mile hike in the mtns this weekend. The ankle is behind schedule. Going in for more PT and a cortisone shot this week, maybe that'll help.

a little 50-ish mile saunter in the Bob Marshall, was supposed to be a 60-ish mile loop, but Mother Nature had other ideas



still a pretty sweet weekend trip

Sweet!! Looks like we'll be in the Eagle Cap in a couple weeks.... can't wait. Got [bleep]-all for tags this year so I'm gonna focus on salmon and backpacking.

23-mile ride today.

got a nice 4 miles in with Tiny E yesterday evening- felt like Fall with temps in the upper 40’s
