2026 Chugach Dall Sheep

You'll be doing a lot of "simulated" mountain training @ sea level with your pack and boots. Be sure to get to your mountain range fairly early to test how your boots fit with a real grade, under load.
I spent all kinds of time training in my Scarpas which I thought were breaking in nicely until I started rucking at a ski mountain @ 30 a degree grade. All sorts of toe box issues and heel slip. Fortunately I had time to switch to better boots in time for the hunt.

That's really good advice, thank you sir
