Toughness training is a hard thing to program because people will avoid doing things that they think (or know) will be even slightly uncomfortable. A person that truly enjoys the challenge and takes things on even when he/she knows it is not going to be “fun”… that’s the person I want to hang out with and the only kind of person that I will hunt with. There is nothing more amazingly beautiful and wildly unpredictable than the places that Western big game animals call home, and if you are not prepared mentally and physically to take on any challenge that may be thrown your way, you may want to consider just staying home. I’m just saying.
“Tough Haul”
For this workout I want you to divide the weight in half and use the leap frog method to move the weight from start to finish. For example, pack 100 pounds into your pack and move it 1/2 mile. Unload the weight and go back for the other 100 pound sandbag. Move the second bag up to the 1 mile mark and then go back to bag one at the 1/2 mile mark. Continue this pattern until you have moved both sandbags a total of 2 miles.
Most people have never leap frog transported anything, so even if you can carry the entire weight, leap frog it. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Predator

Extra Credit:
