[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2186051, member: 92702"] Brother, Something to think about. When I was hunting out west I never had a problem climbing. It was getting down. I was plagued with shin splints. Going downhill with your toes lower than your heels are an issue for us flatlanders. You never extend your foot this way at home, and it doesn't take much of it to make you really sore and miserable out west. Find a way to train for this. You will have to have a ramp or hill to do it. there's always the roof on your house, LOL. A treadmill blocked up so you are going downhill might be an option. Stairs are not. This was my biggest source of misery on my first trip, and I started training for it before the next one. It is never talked about, but the effects on flatlanders can be devastating. [/QUOTE]
