    Cardio before lifting

    Cardio is way more important to me, so a few years ago I started doing it first, yeah I lost some strength, but I don’t mind, it’s real important to me that cardio gets my first best effort. I don’t need to get stronger, but better cardio is quite noticeable when hiking at altitude, but I don’t...

    Where to start?

    Would really be nice to get on the phone with someone from rokslide, get all your questions answered pronto, would give you a good foundation on which to base future research. Hopefully someone will pm you. I’ve said many times, I’m glad I started long ago and eased into it, had veterans...

    Colorado 2020-2026 Regulations

    There are 100 different aspects to this, all with different weights, it’s very complex balancing it all. And just because there were a number of very vocal people doesn’t mean they were advocating for the best outcome for all concerned including the animals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's Training Season (finally)

    Enjoy your posts you always manage to put a funny spin on things. I would like to hook up with you next year for a training run, but as you say, until concrete plans are made it’s all barstool bs. If we meet up in 2020, I’m expecting a steady stream of funny comments, don’t let me down. Sent...

    10 day solo backcountry insanity

    I require a dessert every night, it’s either banana bread, pumpkin bread or blueberry bread, I keep it submerged in the icy stream so it keeps fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    10 day solo backcountry insanity

    Durn straight, I take an occasional rest day to organize camp, relax, glass from camp, nap, rethink strategies, then I’m raring to go again. I’m able to glass my honey hole 100 yds from camp, so I don’t feel like I’m wasting a day at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And It Begins! Pack Workout!

    Summer training hikes with a pack suck, the heat and humidity, aaaaahhhhh. But it would be much worse if I couldn’t train due to health issues, so I keep reminding myself that I’m fortunate to be able to train, and that grateful feeling keeps me grinding on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Too steep for elk?

    I love to watch elk in super steep terrain, just amazing how it’s a walk in the park for them, seems like with long legs they would topple over but of course they don’t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TOPO - what's steep?

    I definitely have limitations and that is significantly beyond them. You should have that spot to yourself. I have a friend that would be right there with you, I’ve followed him into a couple spots that had me on pins and needles, untilI I finally bailed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And if you camp 7.5 miles, you could kill an elk 10 miles from the truck and it may die in a horrible hole with blowdown, and that’s a bad situation unless you’ve been in it and know for sure you can handle it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Backcountry elk + fishing

    Agreed, there’s too much to do already, with hunting, sleeping, eating, keeping gear organized and prepping for the next day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That’s totally dependent on you, there’s no one right answer. What kind of shape are you in? I would say that’s too far for most folks to pack one out, but maybe you’re uber fit and have packed heavy loads before. But if you ask the question then it’s probably too far.

    Camp set up. Where to camp in the back country

    Durn, I gotta find a new camping spot, all these stories are spooking me, with all the dead aspen I camp amongst, and I was nervous to start with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camp set up. Where to camp in the back country

    Yeah, I camp near water, but there’s dead aspens all around which makes me a little nervous, but other than that it’s the best spot around, but wish it was closer to the elk, but I’m super cautious not to spook them, so I’m ok having a hike to and from. I try to find other spots but keep coming...

    Treadmill on max incline with or without a backpack makes for excellent training, it’ll spike your heart rate and have you gasping for air and your legs will be burning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Too steep for elk?

    It’ll be too steep for you long before it’s too steep for the elk. In other words they can easily handle spots so steep they would scare you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
