[QUOTE="pnw_recce, post: 3075710, member: 124273"] This. When traveling for out of state hunts we ALWAYS build in an extra 4-5 days to acclimate before season, and it still isn’t enough. Moving from 500’ to 8000’ base camp is rough. Half my party typically enjoys some of that late night brown water before there is anything to celebrate yet, and can’t wrap their head around why they aren’t feeling so hot haha I lift heavy three days a week, take OrangeTheory classes twice a week, mountainbike, and find time in between to run and weighted pack up all the 15% grade hills in my area while chasing my kids around… it never feels like enough in the high country. You may think you’re in the best shape, but that first leg of the packout back to the truck is when gut check time reall kicks in. During those 5 days one of my favorite things to do aside from scouting is cut and splitting wood for camp, sneaky how that gasses you at elevation! [/QUOTE]
