This monthās challenge is to start hitting the stairstepper or getting out and doing some hikes. Do your first hike with lightweight just some water bottles and basic gear. Next hike add a little bit extra weight And then build up to where youāre hiking with your full gear. Then, if youāre up for the ultimate challenge, Iām working on networking with a guy who builds training equipment that copies packing out a full hindquarter of a bowl elk to really test your strength. Let me know if you guys would be interested in his Web link.
