[QUOTE="Knuckleballz, post: 1439577, member: 105823"] I think conditoning for Montana mountain hunting is best simulated for us flat landers by finding a tall building and walking all the way up and down the stairs(like 10 stories or more) several times a week. Running is ok for stamina but climbing mountain slopes uses a whole different group of muscles differently in my opinion. Getting out there to adjust to the altitude is a consideration also before exertion. Clothes that don't absorb moisture are important to staying warm and dry. Several layers can be in the backpack including wind/rain proof layer. Start out your hike being underdressed and avoid getting sweaty. Make sure you have a good pair of boots that have good traction in the snow and are comfortable(break them in beforehand) [/QUOTE]
