The extra work in the gym theory sounds good but somehow it doesn't work out in practise. I humped a 22 pound M-60 and 30 pounds of belted ammo ( along with a pack full of supplies) in the highlands of Vietnam for six months but now that I am old enough to receive Social Security and still hiking the wilderness of Alaska I prefer a lighter rifle. In my opinion the short, light little Ruger Alaskan in either 416 or 375 is the best wilderness rifle anyone has ever offered.




IMHO, the extra work does pay off HOWEVER it really depends on how you work out and what you do..are you training for a specific goal or type of activity or are you one of those that is too busy reading a magazine while working out that the physical exertion is more of a by-product?? Personally I see that all the time when in the gym...

Agree, nothing prepares you like the real deal...but, it certainly does help to be in the best condition one can be prior to hunt..the body is an amazing thing and will adapt quite readily and more quickly if already in shape...

Personally for the past 6 months we have been doing routines called cross-fit..sure many of you have either done them or heard of them..but in incorporates lifting and aerobic activity without a break to rest--typically we go for 45 minutes straight...it is amazing the conditioning this produces...
