I added 12 lbs to my pack for today's training hike, bringing it up to about 35 lbs. And I added a bit of vertical today, still staying at my target pace (about 14 min/mile). I'm confident that I could pass the #wildfire pack test if I took it today (45 lbs, flat ground, 3 miles, under 45 min) but the more I train the less it will hurt

Here's a good piece of #gear to have if you find yourself in austere environments, backcountry, etc (e.g. #wildfire ). It's a strobe that flashes red, green, blue, red/blue, or UV. This is a must-have if you're working around helicopters in the mountains. It mounts on your helmet, on a pack strap, etc and recharges via USB -C. This one is made by Nitecore
