Don't claim to be a wilderness athlete or you'll get your ass ripped on here..... congrats on the tag.
I have done a bunch of the mtn tough workouts that a guy in Bozeman put together with some other folks. It's helped me out tremendously and broken the monotonous cycle at the gym. I would give them a try they have a ton of free ones on YouTube as well.
Hiking excursion if your able to. Nothing is gonna get you more ready than being out there.
The first comment was a inside joke from another thread a couple weeks back.

Does drinking Wilderness Athlete qualify? Ha!
Just looking to see what others are doing to break up my own monotonous routine. During the week I’m relegated to the gym, but am able to do 55-65 lbs with my atlas trainer on stair master and treadmill, then shoot for a 6-12 mi weighted hike once a week. The hike is mainly to keep me from going insane at the gym. Do some other stuff here and there (run, strength train) but I’m really trying to increase pack endurance.
Ill check out mtn tough.

Remi Warren has some great podcasts for getting ready for some back county hunts

Stay tuned for the fresh 30 rack of animal beers
There’s mountain fit, then there’s Remi fit! I always enjoy listening to his stories of elk trying to keep up with him.

I typically weight train 3 days a week (back/chest, legs, shoulders/arms), do two HIIT-type workouts or intervals (either on the treadmill, assault bike, rower, or skierg, or combination of the aforementioned), then a longer, low HR cardio session on sat or sun - either a 10k or a weighted hike, usually with a 55-65 lb sandbag.

The gym is closed again due to COVID blowup here. I haven't been for more than a year because I'm nursing a dang hernia. Gallbladder comes out tomorrow a.m. I still try to hustle up and down the steps to basement at least once a day. I do a regimen of 30 repetitions in succession as fast as I can without running, skipping steps, or falling on my face (ALWAYS with one hand wrapped around the handrail). I suppose I could still do a lot of stuff at the gym but don't want to be seen in the change room wearing the hernia truss apparatus. It looks like a prop from a gay porn movie. Hmmm. Maybe not such a bad idea. Good way to clear out the sauna.

Put weight in your pack. Wear it on hikes, pick it up, put it down, repeat. That will be $150. Thanks.

A lot of people wanna knock those programs those guys put together and that's fine. In the end though if you apply yourself you'll notice a world of difference.

Long distance hiking at least twice a week.
It takes substantial time to build endurance.
Long distance hiking helps toughen feet, dial in your pack.
Tough feet and all-day endurance can not be trained for at the gym.
