Leg day #2:

Dumbbell walking lunge - 3x20 RPE 8
Single leg extension - 3x15 RPE 8
Single leg curl - 3x15 RPE 8
Machine hip abduction - 3x15 RPE 9

Cardio, we will see what's open. More and more people at my gym seem to be cardio and it's a powerlifting gym so cardio equipment is at a minimum. Might have to go to Planet Fitness with my girlfriend (she has a black card) after I lift to get a stair stepper.
 
Back from 4 days of bear hunting on the other side of the state. No tag punched but it was a great trip in beautiful country. I ended up seeing 11 bears overall, and countless elk and deer. I only saw 2 shooter bears but couldn't get a shot opportunity at either one. I averaged over 10 miles a day riding my mountain bike in and out, and over 10 miles a day walking once I got in there.

What is the wendler rep and weight scheme for something like this?

Can’t speak for him, but I follow his 5/3/1 with an additional set—first set last, the lightest set doing as many reps as possible.

First week is 5/5/5+ @65/75/85% 1RM (plus the first set last).
Second week is 3/3/3+ @70/80/90%
Third week is 5/3/1+ @75/85/95%
Fourth week is deload

Ive also bastardized it combining two lifts squats/bench and deadlifts/overhead press—please don’t tell Jim!
 
What is the wendler rep and weight scheme for something like this?
Just like @mtwarden posted. Note that the last work set says,"5+,3+,1+". The goal is to hit within a rep or two of your max number of reps on the last set. On deload weeks I do 5/5/5 @ 40%/50%/60%.

I've also been doing Jim's "Big but Boring" accessory program, which is basically 5 sets of 10 at around 60%/1RM of the same exercise after the Wendler program reps.

4 miles (400') with Tiny Elvis this morning.

I'm all packed for my 11th year of participating in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Open; starts tomorrow at 8:00 AM, our route is 125-ish miles, longer than previous Open's which are usually closer to 100 miles. Goal usually is to finish in close to three days, shooting for 4-ish days this year; we'll see what's in store :)

Have my pack whittled down to 23 lbs with food/water AND snowshoes. I might roll the dice on the snow shoes; two passes I'm pretty sure they would be handy, but those come in the first 30 miles—passes after that look pretty decent by sat images, which could easily mean carrying them for 90-ish miles for nothing:unsure:

Today:
Dumbbell Incline Press - 3x8 RPE 8
Reverse grip lat pulldown - 3x8 RPE 8

Cardio: got some new boots today so gonna strap the 50 lb bag of feed corn to the backpack and haul ass to the hiking trails in town. Fortunate to have some steep stuff 15 minutes from the front door! Hike for three miles or until I run into a rattlesnake, whichever comes first lol
