My Elk Season Fitness, is it enough?

Sounds like you're on the right path!  Lots of people invest a lot of money into rifles, optics, etc before they look at their boots and pack, which will help prevent fatigue and injury.   Keep up the good work!

Awesome, Cab!  Congratulations on the progress!  Looks like you are doing all of the right things.

I'm sorry you're having those problems, Cab. And I'm also sorry I was nodding off after our last trip after we got home. I'm afraid I wasn't a great host that afternoon. I'm glad we got into some elk. They're such amazing critters.

Pianoman you were a GREAT host, we drove out at 5am so it was a long day. Not a problem about the yawns my wife literally text me to go pick her up just as I left. I'm just excited to get back out there with ya to chase some elk! Gorgeous animals!

Great work Cab.  If it has not already been said, as you start to stabilize in the pack weight, I would add off trail hiking.  The range of motion and core strength needed for balance for off trail to me gets closer to hunting situations.  Keep it up and build slow to avoid any more possible injuries.

That's what I do, why pack food that takes up space and time and then you have to pack out trash.  Just pre-eat for your activity.

In all seriousness, becoming fat adapted has worked wonders for me.  I can eat or not eat and it doesn't make a huge difference and the blood sugar crashes, hitting the wall and all that fun are pretty much things of the past.
