Backpacking physical training...

2012 is going to be the year of The Winds! Check out HomerJ 's trip reports in the backpacking forum. They've pretty much convinced me to scrap most of my plans for the Uintas.

Damn it, me and my big mouth......... I better start telling everyone they're the Sawtooths or someplace or else they'll become over crowded!

Oh oh oh, I got ya. I should tell some bear stories too......

Actually, in all seriousness I have heard of black bears around Big Sandy Lake and just last year a Grizzly was spotted along the Popo Agie River East of the Cirque near the Popo Agie Falls.

reserrecting an old thread...

seeing as I am just getting into backpacking more so for the back country camping aspect, I have no special training that I do. I am just planning on packing the ALICE pack and going out. Maybe in future years I will develope a training routine, till then, its pack the bag and go.

I think @scatman is officially the master of backpacking physical training. Just hike up a big ass mountain week after week and you'll be set!
