[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2788843, member: 29323"] The Forest Service uses the pack test to confirm that folks are in good enough shape to fight fire in the mountains. Walk (not run) 3 miles in 45 minutes carrying a 45 pound pack. When I started doing this, I was in the best shape of my life for hunting. It was much better than jogging or bike riding. Endurox R4 is magic. It is a muscle recovery drink that claims to increase endurance. I take it on every hunt, and use it a couple of weeks before the hunt. I'll take some with a pint of water for my lunch break while hunting, and usually take a short nap after lunch. It is amazing how much difference that makes. Hydrates you and gives you more energy. Pick where you hunt. I live in NM at 5000 feet and usually hunt at about 7000 feet. You don't have to hunt at 10,000 feet. X2 on the alclhol. My buddy got pretty drunk the night before we were going to hike a 14'er (14,000 ft peak) in CO. He didn't make it to the top. He ran triathelons at 5,000 ft. [/QUOTE]
