[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 575933, member: 33751"] I'm a Wildland Firefighter in CA so I'm used to carrying heavy packs in the mountains. My Hunting pack with spot scope, rifle, tent, sleep bag, food, water, and medical kit is near 50+lbs on a typical Mule deer hunt in the sierras and +120 AFTER I kill one....... More stairmaster in the offseason is the answer.........honest. I put a couple 25lb plates wrapped in towels in a pack and get on a stairmaster at the gym about once per week.... If an extra 6lb of "gear" is breakin your back, then you need more PT!!!!!Less beer....... Relentless 365 magazine has some great articles on off season training thats pretty helpfull..... NO EXCUSES, NEVER QUIT. gun) [/QUOTE]
