In response to Shi's reply: i did some backpacking and camping at quetico a few years ago and shi is right on, it was some of the most beautiful and natural land i have been too. also the boundry waters and canoeing was awesome(and if your into fishing i have never seen better)!!!

okay, after the overwhelming response to get in shape by backpacking and hiking i am going to do that for 3 days a week for the next 3 months(of course i will sprinkle in occasional visits to the gym) so if anyone has any good hikes planned and needs a partner let me know!!!!!

i am getting myself ready for some long hiking and backpacking trips and was wondering if anyone out there was interested in doing some strength and weight training geared towards hiking/backpacking ?
