There’s no way to simulate what it’s like to hike nearly 30,000 feet in 36 hours, but you can train your body to handle carrying an increased load over time. How? By rucking, AKA, long walks with a weighted vest or backpack.

When I ruck, I use the GoRuck Backpack, a durable backpack designed for weighted training and outdoor workouts, perfect for adding resistance to your routine.
