Was wondering what the experts (i.e. all you guys) do for training hikes. I live on the east coast (a whopping 9' elevation at my house!), so going to the mountains to shed hunt is not an option for me. I plan to go out the the Appalachians a couple of times with my backpack and gear/food for three day/two night backcountry prep trips.
Would love to hear what others do, and any tips that you've learned through the years to make backcountry bivy style trips more efficient and/or enjoyable.
