You can just go shopping with backpack and walk back home
Also remember school?
Weighted backpack + stairs
Just lift bro
Recently did the entirety of the Eagle Rock loop in the heatwave and I don’t even do cardio.
>No routine
The purpose of backpacking is to escape your routine
If ya really need something to prep, load up a backpack with rocks and do hills, it's how my dad prepped for the John Muir trail back in the early 80s. Consider it "golden era" training.
I used to backpack in high school with the scouts. I was out of shape and did SS plus running a mile twice a week before hiking season and it helped a lot. I didn't focus on improving distances I just did a few day hikes before overnights, then jumped right into week long trips from there.
You feet need to endure the trip whitout blisters
Try to walk back with fricked up feets
People who train for SOF Q will usually go two or 3 times a week with a pack and fast pace and practicing navigation skills.
I went to selection but didn't get picked. Trained with two long tabs. Every other day alternated between 12-15 miles loaded with 30 lbs and 3-4 miles with 80+.
I'm training for next September. Gonna give it 3 good goes till my contracts up and hang up my boots. Crazy how they can still say no at the end.
Yeah. And I thought they were hurting for people with my talents. I was coming from 12D and hoping to go to CDQC afterwards. I knew several people who'd done that just because the SF likes people who they don't have to train from scratch at underwater and diving shit.

>literally trying to meta-game touching grass
what an embarassing post dude, please go outside today for your mental health. you can worry about physical later.
Train for a 50 mile run. If you can complete that the only obstacle is blisters.

What's a good cheap backpack to put weights in for weighted calisthenics?
Legit, just get a weighted vest. There's a 66 lbs one in Amazon (with weights) for 100$ or so. For that weight, it can't be beat. Works wonders.
If you’re prepping for a long distance hike just do a shorter one once or twice a week for a few weeks ahead of time. If you’re already able bodied the prep is mainly mental. So like if you’re doing a 50 miler in a month do a couple 5 milers each week and do 10 miles on one day the week before or something.
I did this by simply loading my bag and walking with it
>because they don’t work
i guarantee i make more than you kek
Please tell me you're the moron who tried to backpack from Florida to Colorado to lose weight and you've come back to blame everyone else for your terrible life choices.
Wait, did I miss one? There was a schizo that tried to do that a few years ago who flew from Portland to Orlando and tried to hike back.
Just climbed the highest peaks in the range north of vancouver for 6 days, all I did to "prepare" was run ~5 miles every day or every other day in the few weeks leading up. Unless you're doing a serious technical route then you shouldn't need anything beyond some cardio and good shoes.
???
Just load up your pack with whatever you need and go for it. If it takes more than three days you can use caches. It's not something you have to train for. Anyone with a basic level of fitness can manage.
This is the kind of thing I’m talking about. You have no idea what the elevation gain or distance is.
Every answer can be placed into one of two categories: just be relatively fit because it’s just walking, or just hike during the week.”No one has ever done either of these as a means of preparation.
Hiking a couple of hours a few times a week in your neighborhood isn’t going to train you to hike a more strenuous route in the mountains. What kind of sense does that make? If you wanted to train for a marathon, would a twice weekly 15 minute jog suffice?
Tab once a week, run 4 times. Long distance, low exertion
