    Budweiser both at Strugis

    Yeah if it wasn't a financial benefit, the rally wouldn't exist. It's allowed to happen by all the local govs collectively. It's allowed by the government. As much as the rally wants to brag about being a big free bike rally... It never can be.

    Budweiser both at Strugis

    Yeah honestly that group is usually older folks that are retired and have rode bikes their whole lives and just enjoy riding and the culture. Most of them can't handle riding a bike that far. They just want to get to Sturgis before they're not able. The douche bags are usually east coast younger...

    Budweiser both at Strugis

    Having lived in the Black Hills I can confirm the Rally is EXACTLY like the South Park episode. If the people that live there didn't benefit financially from the rally, those bikers would have been ran off a long time ago. Never been around a faker group of people lol. A solid 50% think a lot...

    Wisconsin -> North Carolina?

    If you enjoy physically challenging hunts the mountains of NC, TN, and VA can come pretty close to matching western hunts. There are large tracts of land that you can 100% get back into without seeing another hunter (about 3.5 million acres of USFS land between the three states). The big...

    Mountain fitness for Dad

    I will say their leg blaster and quadzilla complexes are second to none for eccentric endurance though. I still do those on a regular basis.

    Sounds like we're on the same page. The big issue with MTI is programming high volume to movements that are meant to be more low volume. Example is high volume sandbag get ups that are coached as lay down and stand up for say like 80 reps for time. You could get the same stimulus from doing...

    The other pro for MAF is the aerobic capacity you build with it will allow you to train with more intensity/volume on your other training days. MAF is a simple progressive overload that requires little recovery. It's really the main benefit of it. If your dad is a 20 minute mile hiker at his MAF...

    Mountain fitness for Dad

    At your dad's age the ability to recover from training is gonna be the most important. If he goes for a long pack hike and doesn't feel like working out for two or three days there isn't much point in doing it. MAF does not have to be extremely long either. The stimulus is the same whether you...

    Maximum Aerobic Function training. True game changer and pretty much requires no recovery. All you need is something to monitor heart rate and do whatever type of cardio he enjoys. Aerobic capacity will go through the roof and will make your body super efficient and keep you out of those heart...

    Rucking weight?

    If you are trying to gauge what weight you should train with, I would say how much can your core handle? I would go as far as to say if you can't hold a plank for 60 seconds you shouldn't be rucking for exercise. You WILL end up hurting your back or hips, maybe not this year, but eventually it...

    Hip pain during heavy pack out.

    I had this same issue pop recently following some low back pain. Turns out it's a spine issue that's compensating through my hips. Your description is spot on for what I was going through. Never really had pain beyond soreness previously (aside from normal aches from working in a physically...

    Solo Elk Quartering

    If you've hung a deer on a gambrel... Quarter and use tendons to hang on tree limbs. They'll cool as you continue to work. You can put game bags on while they hang. Then you can lay them down to cut the lower leg off while all the meat is staying clean in the bag. Used this process for deer and...
