[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 5171465, member: 10019"] What helps me, not just elevation but any long distance hiking, is interval training. Of course some weight training of the core is extremely beneficial but I find for me I’d rather have optimal max V02 vs be overly strong. Dont get me wrong, I feel like you need to be strong enough to load 70lbs+ on your back and get your gear/meat out through nasty terrain. But, I also feel it’s more important to be able to push through fatigue and be at the top of your game when it’s needed at the most unexpected time. Last thing I want to happen is not make it over the rise to take a shot because I’m tired or not be able to control my breathing after hoofing it up 1k’ elevation gain in a 1/4mile climb. Sounds like your in great shape, so maybe fine tune your cardio while keeping your strength up. Take your time to acclimate and drink plenty of fluids and you’ll kill it. As for documenting your hunt. I say take all the video and pics you can but I wouldn’t let it interfere with your experience. Maybe take turns with your partner capturing each other in the environment. Those candid shots you take of each other seem to capture something special. For example; my wife was chillin and reading a book on the other shore from me while I was throwing a fly for Brook trout in a Alpine lake last month. She took it upon herself to take a pic without me even knowing about it. I’m glad she did because I’m able to see the beauty of where we were and all the “selfies” we took or planned tripod shots just didn’t capture the full moment. [/QUOTE]
