- This video is meant to be played as a 15 minute weighted pack training video. To use, get a pack with 30lbs of weight, and a treadmill that can incline or a stair stepper machine. Start the video and follow along. This is the beginning level to help get you mountain ready. For more info and weighted pack training ideas you can check out this episode of my Cutting the Distance Podcast.

Through the years, I get asked a lot on how to prepare for the mountains. I am fortunate that through my work guiding and filming, I am able to stay in shape by just doing it. There is no replacing training by doing the activity you are training for. I tried to boil down a few of the key things that hunters encounter in the mountains on a hunt and make a way that the exact thing can be somewhat replicated wherever you live, and integrated into a busy life.
This is a new idea for me that I wanted to try out. Hopefully it helps some people get ready for their next elk or deer hunt. Please let me know if it helps you. Thanks again for all the support.

The modern day Godfather of the back country. The best all around hunter there is.
Wow, thanks for the kind words, Tim.
I second that! And he’s from right down the road. Every time I leave Susanville for Reno I hope I’ll bump into him. So far I’m still hoping! LOL
I'm 74... training for an Idaho elk hunt.... been working with a 30 pound pack....what great inspiration...thanks
Moar!
For those of us really wanting to get in hunting-shape year round your literal on-the-ground approach is giving us all some free, valuable advice on some ways to get in shape.
YOU get a subscription model and I’ll be signing up!
My brother and I are huge fans !! I’ve been Rucksack training for some time as a weight loss method, was 300lbs and now 233lbs ,,, been doing 65 lbs on my tree stand. We hope to do our first Elk hunting in Wyoming this year,, we are from PA, so it’s all new to us.
You need to do a podcast on packs,,, brands , types for us newbies. Need to buy something but feel lost
Thank you for the tips, I’m ramping up my pack weight thanks to you 😎😎
Check out his year end gear reviews on his cutting the distance podcast on your choice of platform. I think that will help you out with some of those items.
Thanks for the kind words. I hope to hear more about your Wyoming trip. Keep me posted Tom.
Thanks for the assist Justin.
@@RemiWarren anytime!
Big fan, Remi. I'm training for a Black Bear bow hunt in the Appalachian mountains in the fall. I've learned a great deal from you over the years. Thank you for all your hard work and mentorship!!
Best of luck!
2 hour hikes at a consistent pace. Working up on the weight of the pack. At the 20lbs point. 4.6 mile trail. Every week till 2nd rifle. Been at it since February. Things like this one are wonderful. Thank you for the content.
This was perfect Remi. Keep them coming. HUGE help.
Will do. Thanks Adam.
Love the drone shots! Didn't expect that. That's really the most efficient workout for hunting season. Not only the cardio, but also ankle stability and getting your body accustomed to the weight of the pack.
Great regiment. Glad to see a seasoned professional getting winded after 10 minutes as I have been training hard for a couple hunts this year in the Idaho high country and it hasn’t been easy. Gone from 262lbs to 206lbs in 10 months which means the wolves and bears and elk in Idaho better be ready too! Thanks Remi.
This is awesome Frank. I hope you continue to have success.
All of my hunts are over for the year and I’m already going back up to train for next year! Between Live Wild and this TH-cam channel it keeps me pumped and motivated and really helps me in the backcountry! Thanks for all the tips!
I’m training for my first ever elk hunt. Backcountry Colorado. I’m very thankful for this video and your pod cast. There is so much to think/worry about. You have made this part of it easier on me!! Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
Preparing for AZ late rifle hunt and this is great! Thanks for uploading. Need Level 2!!
Getting back into this for Idaho spring bear season. This is great to watch while using the treadmill on days that I can’t get outside! Thanks Remi!
Remi you are one of my favorite hunters. Thanks for all your advice.
I appreciate that! Thanks Vincent.
Obviously Remi is in much better shape than I am, but it is nice to see that he is human. Love the vid, love solohntr and love the podcast. Keep up the awesome work Remi.
Thanks!
Very helpful after listening to the podcast! You see people at the gym all the time watching the workout videos on the treadmill. Love the funny looks I get showing up with my pack and pulling up your video lol
Yes!! Keep after it!
Good stuff Remi! Physical and mental preparation is key to any western hunt.
Dreaming of Elk County and chasing remi Warren up the mountain! Typical Thursday afternoon.
Thanks Remi - perfect companion video for the podcast episode! If you can - please continue I found it super helpful and informative. Much love from Australia!
I'm training for my first elk hunt, going to Idaho in October. This is super helpful and motivational. Thank you so much.
Best of luck!
Great stuff!! Listened to your podcast talking about this over the weekend. I ran 4.5 miles yesterday, followed by two back to back runs of your training program in a row (2 minute break in between w/ water) using 30 lbs. today. Sooo much better than just walking on the treadmill with the guided workout!!! Trying to fill my first elk tag after having tag soup with 5 elk tags over the past few years. Gonna get it done this year!!!!!
Right on!! That is awesome!
@@RemiWarren When do you expect episode 2 to come out? I know there’s a long time until August/September, but I always like to have a plan for workout transitions.
Thanks Remi for another great video. Hiked my azz off turkey hunting today. Great workout.
How did that turkey hunt go?
@@RemiWarren Hunted 4 days in the Ocala Forest near my home in Florida and didn't hear a single gobble. Killed good birds there before, but not this time. Talked to another hunter near that same patch of ground, he said he was on a gobbler that gobbled over 100 times. I never heard it, though. I'll keep hunting, won't give up till the last day. Lots of public ground here, Green Swamp is open hunting 100 thousand acers so that's where I'm headed next. Big fan of Remi Warren. Keep it up, love to meet someday. Be safe.........
This was great. I loved it! This will definitely help for my Caribou hunt this fall. Thanks Remi!
Glad it was helpful!
Inspirational video Remi...... Making your backyard into a fitness center......love it..... keep this series going..............another fitness session is hiking on uneven ground (Marsh, tundra etc)
Great idea!!
This is Awesome Remi , keep it up. What a great concept. Can’t wait for more videos like this! Thank you
Remi, thanks for putting this video together. I thought it was a great way to see what type of training you are doing and appreciated the comments. My son and I are training for our archery elk hunt this fall.
Thanks for commenting David. I love that you're going with your son. Great moments!
Fantastic video. Thanks for making it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I guess I shouldn’t make excuses for snow outside right now! Thanks Remi!
This was great. Simple and straightforward.
**The only request I have is an audio-only version. That way if doing the workout outside, someone could still listen for the prompts to increase intensity. For some folks it helps to have that motivation.**
Hey thanks Pete! This is great insight. I'll see what I can do about that on future ones.
Keep ‘em coming! Great Stuff!
This is awesome keep them coming
Great stuff! I do similar training, I built a step up box that's a great addition to my preseason regimen when I can't get into the hills, pack on, up down up down....., shoot. Going out to do this today, Idaho spring bear with my bow is first on the list, packing bait, or spot and pursue. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the kind words Mike. Let me know how everything goes for you this season.
Awesome video! Definitely make more of this style of vid where we can lo along. A Reminder Warren workout series would be 🔥
I have a sheep hunt in MT Unlimited early Sept and a Goat hunt in late Sept! Your trip is great! Starting this evening😮
Really awesome training video Remi....I would watch more of these if you made them. Never seen a workout video for hunters like this... very cool with real terrain...keep making them....2 thumbs up..!
Will do! Thanks David.
Remi is a monster👊🏼
This is awesome! Great work out video!
Glad you liked it!!
Awesome video, this should be on iFit!
I am chasing better health overall and I don't want to have physical limitations when hunting. Hoping to fill my first elk tag this year.
Agree on all accounts!
Keep me posted on how your health and elk hunt goes.
Gotta keep after it at 60 the mountains get higher and packs get heavier 😎
I really like how stone glaciers packs straps meat and load higher in pack ,I gotta get one
Yes remi you the man 💪🏼
This is just what I needed to get my lazy COVID arse moving! Thanks Remi 🙏🏽
Thats awesome Sean. Thanks for the appreciation.
@@RemiWarren Level 1 worked great. Did the 15 mins for a week with a 30lb pack, then moved it up to 30 mins for a week and just did a 4 mile warm-up hike with 40lb pack yesterday and wasn't suffering miserably. Off for a mild, 4-day backpack trip tomorrow. All working towards a 4-5- day trip in the Bob Marshall in September and then an archery elk hunt in AZ in November. I'm about your dad's age and still recovering from getting hit by a car on my MTB 9 months ago, so your podcast and videos have help motivate my recovery. Thanks a million!
I got a bull elk, cow elk, a muley buck, and a muley doe tag. My season opens September 11th and runs till the end of the year.
Remi, you could sell this! Call it Remi-ton. Release some really expensive treadmills that are basically regular treadmills but marketed with slick campaigns on t.v., then add a subscription service where people can ruck with you from the comfort of their hermetically sealed, temperature-controlled condos in the city.
This is an amazing idea!
Western slope Muleys in Colorado - 2nd season!
Love it. Keep me posted on how it goes.

Right on!

Training to hunt goats on Oahu in Hawaii
Well, I hope the thrift store has a backpack. I'll throw 3-4 gallons of water in it, keep it in the truck and hit a hill, or the sand
Any tips on keeping your feet warm in the snow?
I use those air activated toe heaters in my boots when it is super cold. Outside of that walking keeps them warm but it is the stopping that is cold. In montana on late season elk hunts we build small fires when we stop. I also like a good wool blend sock.
Buy Kiwi Possum/wool blend socks. They are so good your feet will love you for wearing them.
Do you have a link for Level 2?
Not yet. Working on it soon.
@@RemiWarren awesome! Cant wait. Getting stronger as I hike on our half acre hill with two 10lb plates in my ruck!
Thanks Remi,
