how fit do you need to be.

well just as a side thought i was talking about what kit to carry and how big a bag in litre size and it hit me.
how fit do you have to be to carry it all and have fun, rather than a pain full weekend or trip away.i suppose it comes down to the type of trip you like to go on.
1) drive the car into the woods or camp site set up stay near by and be happy.
you dont need to be to fit to do this but it will still take some level of fitness so you enjoy it.

2)drive to a starting point and start to walk your planed route and camp were you stop then walk the next day to new site until you return to your car.
you will need to be fitter for this and water and food become big weight and room issues depending on how long you go away.so how many miles do you walk a day to make it fun but not boring for those who want adventure.

so does a regular fitness plan come part of your weekly life or do you have a plan that as you get your kit ready to go away on your trip you do a bit of light fitness to make it easier.while you are out.
so with all this to think about how much should we be thinking of doing so we can enjoy are trips out but not turning fitness into your hobby instead of bushcraft.also what type of fitness do you think would be best to do.
press ups,sit ups,running,weights what types.
so to open this up to all and what you think give some thought to this and post your ideas no matter how little or how much you think you need to do.may be we could work out a bushcraft work out so you can be happy around the camp fire after your walk to site and say staying a few days in the wild...
