    If you exercise for an hour, fasted, your blood glucose will be higher after the exercise than before. That's becuase your liver releases glucose into the bloodstream. The mechanism of exercising fasted, resulting in burning more fat, resulting in more weight loss does not exist. I’ll bite...

    I promise, this will be my last post on this. What's your athletic background and your goals? Not to be disrespectful, but as I recall, aren't you a 60+ fellow that doesn't do really do endurance-type activities? (Obviously, I could be totally wrong at that - not a personal attack, just trying...

    More specific to what? Try picking up the book “training for the new alpinism.” It’s quite good and can help you build a program that’s specific and much better than anything off the shelf.

    Sorry, the assertion that doing LISS fasted will result in greater weight loss is just not true. If you control for total calories, weight loss will be the same, whether you work out fasted or not. The statement about working over aerobic pace “releasing glucose” is also not accurate. Working...

    Sounds to me like some simple but consistent strength training might do you good. Keep the aerobic work, maybe slowly work to walk/jog and then work into running, still at conversational pace, but add two or three strength sessions a week. Any program will work. Here’s one simple routine. (You...

    Taxidermist Boise ID area

    If you just want a clean euro skull, I used this guy in payette. It was not expensive, done well, and done early. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057511897291

    Suggestions for quality, simple bino straps (not pouch/harness)

    I have the Rick young and the badlands. Almost always go for the Rick young. Mor adjustable, lower profile. If i wear it in “harness mode” for days on end, i can get some nerve pressure from an old injury, so I tend to wear it in different ways. Highly recommend. The badlands is fine, but not...

    Knee (cap) pain?

    I think this is a thread on a similar issue: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/front-of-knee-discomfort-solution.376651/

    What do you wear while hiking in the rain?

    what style of hunting are you referring to? Big difference between archery elk versus tree stand versus rifle mule deer. For archery elk, I’m basically moving all day, so I’ll do a lighter, more breathable rain jacket with breathable layers underneath—temp dictates how many layers underneath—to...

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    This sounds to me like a classic lactate threshold workout, yes? Steady stay at lactate threshold for around an hour? (And I think the terms would be “slow twitch” fibers versus “fast twitch” fibers: aerobic and anaerobic refer to energy systems being employed rather than muscle fiber types.)...

    Primaloft Evolve

    Resurrecting this one: just saw that Rab has a Primaloft evolve, 75 gsm, with a face fabric. So may be similar to the ambient, but priced at $165. https://rab.equipment/us/mens-evolute-hoody?srsltid=AfmBOoryv3TRABKzkt3fd9aaTWj2r81pJxwd5ZnEGCt1Qpu4zsmHYSaD

    Question for you guys. Having hip problems

    I'd recommend going to a physical therapist to get some exercises. It sounds like your hip issues are different, and perhaps worse, than what's pretty typical in an active population. Runners, for example, almost always have weak hips. A common strengthening routine is the myrtle routine...

    Lost hunter out of Seven Devils Area,Riggins Idaho.

    Right? I have to leave at least three separate times: when I anticipate being back (at least a few hrs passing); when I could be back by if something unexpected happens…ok to be nervous but do not freak out (1/2 day); and a “do not call anyone until this time passes” (usually 1 day). Backcountry...

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    Truth! I have one route that is up a steep-but-not-ridiculous trail, down the other side and back up. That side is ridiculous - ~2,000 feet in a mile. The second pull engages the calves the entire way up; my eyes are watering by the time I get back up to the top. Coincidentally, last year I...

    Kuiu… on Amazon!?

    Fair. I probably should've resisted the impulse to post that comment. People also want to feel special, like they're getting some niche gear not accesible to, or known by, the general public. I get that - i want to feel special too!

    Muscular Endurance for Mountain Athletes

    Agree - and I've found it to be the case. In my experience, I can get a very good, very localized ME workout through the gym-based workout and still have the energy to go on an hourish run in the afternoon. You can also control all the variables to dial in the workout really well. (Variables...

    Kuiu… on Amazon!?

    I suppose I question why anyone would have a problem with this - it's a quicker, more-accesible avenue to acquire the product. And it's pretty darn common; most, if not all, outdoor brands now have an amazon store. Sometimes there are better deals, faster shipping, etc. to purchase through amazon.

    Ambient / Active insulation w pit zips?

    Agree - to me, the “solid” active insulation (kenai, stone glacier piece, Patagonia nano-air, north face ventrix) isn’t true active insulation. It’s more breathable than down but nowhere near as breathable as the Polartec alpha/Primaloft evolve/equivalent.

    Ambient / Active insulation w pit zips?

    I doubt you’ll see a true active insulation (read: Polartec alpha or Primaloft evolve equivalent) with pit zips. Their whole reason for existing is being lightweight and highly breathable. Pit zips would increase weight and isn’t needed (or at least can’t be perceived to be needed) due to the...
