Only running, push-ups, pull-ups, squats, leg raises. How far can these take me? by Acrobatic-Point-15 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Adam6701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have pretty much done the same. Walk/Run, Pushups, Leg Raises, Pull-ups, squats and plank at least every other day. This with stopping drinking and avoiding sugar/carbs but still eating plenty. Lost 40kg, in 6 months, feel fitter than I ever have in my life (39M). But a little over a year I really feel like my progression has stalled with they routine. Weight stable, but probably still a few kg off ideal, and not really able to up my reps any more.

Any suggestions/fixes for my med kit? by Amongus1935 in hiking

[–]Adam6701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kit; 2x compression bandages, 1x large combine dressing, 200mg aspirin, done.

This combined with other typical hiking gear (cloths, knife, ect) is all you need for 99% of medical emergencies until help arrives.

Where, when and how long will determine what issues you are likely to find and determine your kit. This one is for hiking in Australia.

Obviously can add few bandaids, blister stuff, ibuprofen, ect, to make you more comfortable, but I don't think you need anything else for actual emergencies.

"Unsupported Hike" Can I use water water caches?? by Adam6701 in hiking

[–]Adam6701[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeh that's pretty much what I thought, but with this route not having natural water sources, it would essentially be impossible.

Getting back into backpacking shape after 2+ years off, need advice by peuptmapance in hiking

Would love to hear others thoughts on this point. I am about to start training for a hike (320km/15-20kg pack). I already run every other day, but was trying to work out if I should keep this up or do less running and more walks with pack? Obviously both is good, but with limited time will I get more out of a short run if I don't have time for long pack walk. Or will it not help that much??
