To be fair, Rokslide's description reads: "Rokslide is “the place” to connect with other hardcore, over-the-top hunting fanatics." We're talking hardcore, backcountry hunting here.

I learned something new everyday. I need to step up my game then thanks for moto

So true. I can hit all of the aerobics, but I know for a fact I wouldn't hit the strength marks. It's not that I couldn't, I could easily squat over 2x my body weight in college when I lifted a lot. I haven't even touched a barbell in over a year, but I get around just fine in the mountains both with or without a heavy load.

I'm just the opposite of this I struggle with the cardio and the strength is easy. I though I managed myself fine in the mountains; but to compare me to you guys who have been doing this a while I'm lagging.

Body type and muscle type come into play in all of this. I like coastalbendbows struggle with the cardio. The strength stuff is easy for me and I've always been strong. Even when in High School when I was wrestling and in shape I struggled to run a mile in any sort of decent time. I've never broke 6 minutes. I've been squatting twice my bodyweight since I can remember.

You're ahead of me. I can break 9:00 but not by much.

Body type and muscle type come into play in all of this.

Absolutely, muscle fiber composition, insertion points of tendons, length of limbs, weight distribution, etc. Some guys simply have much great mechanical advantage for certain tasks than others.
