When I lift weights I do squats and dead lifts 5 sets of them when I lift I work my whole body that way I only have to lift twice a week As for walking with a gun I live in the country and own land on a river with steep banks and thick brush so I will carry my 6mm-284 when I hike it weighs 13lbs it is 3lbs heavier then the 375 H&H and 300 win mag I will be bringing so that should help me. When I am done with my hike I was going to shoot at a paper plate at 100 yards to practice taking a shot when I am tired and my heart rate is up. Can anyone recommend a brand of hip boots to try? ones with good support in the ankle and foot? As for a pack I was looking at these three can you give me some advice on wich one? I am hunting with my B-law so I will be packing animals out with the one I buy.
