4 miles with my wife and Tiny E; driving 10 hours straight yesterday wasn't the best thing for my legs- this helped!

4 miles on the trails with Tiny Elvis after work; the 1500 mile mark is now in the rear view mirror, TE is creeping up on 900 miles

4 sets of 12-15 of lat pull downs, tricep pushdowns, 30lb dumbbell curls, and 70lbs on curling bar, feels really good easing back into light lifting.

a nice 5 miles on the trails with Tiny Elvis, beautiful Indian summer

Got back from my mulie hunt the other day, all of the hiking I did this summer preping for the trip and my weight loss this spring really paid off. Ended up with my 1st mulie a small one but tasty. Learned a lot from you guys and wanted to say thanks.

Now I got a mountain of gear to clean up and put away.

Congrats! I don't think anyone can argue that going into hunting season in good shape is definitely going to increase your odds AND just make the trip more enjoyable!

4 miles on the trails with my wife and Tiny E- beautiful Indian summer continues!

Rained last night so my trails are muddy. Hit the treadmill, 3 miles with 30 lbs, in less than 2 hours, at 10% grade.

Backpack season is pretty much over for me, but ran 4 miles just to get a jump on next year.

4 miles on the trails with Tiny E- the great weather continues

Tiny Elvis and I got a good hill workout this evening; 4 miles and a steep climb (followed by a nice 2 mile down hill :))

I'm going to be sore tomorrow

squats, bench, pull-ups 10/9/8/7/......2/1 squats and bench at 75% of 1RM

yup, I'm sore

4 miles on a beautiful, brisk fall day w/ my wife and Tiny E

Great hiking weather this weekend

Got in a 4 mile hike tonite, had been taking it easy since I had a big blood clot fall outa my nose last week. Felt great to get out seen about a dozen deer.

6 some miles in the cabinets on N ID/ Montana border glassing for bear. Just sow and cubs. Shot a few grouse. Beautiful time of year!!

my buddies are doing a traverse of the Cabinets this weekend, mostly off trail- 50 miles and ~ 16,000’ of gain- they’re going to try to get it done in two days (Saturday and Sunday); I’d be going but I have to be at work early Monday morning and no way are they finishing early on Sunday!

50 miles , 2 days, 16 k feet ? Thats impressive

yeah and 75%+ off trail; would have loved to give it a go with them, but not in the cards

it’s a route Tom came up with and never tested, so it may not be doable- I’m sure they’ll let me know when they’re done

I see grizzlies up there about 30 per cent of time spent in cabinets. That’s ballzy hiking the route off trail. Super wet too with the thick brush .

Good luck to them.
