I’m a complete novice in trekking, but I’m planning to do the Huemul circuit in a month. Every blog I read on the internet says it’s not suited to beginners, but I’m planning on going on the high season and tagging along with people if I think I’m going to get lost and stuff. I’m also training my endurance and stamina by going up the stairs in my apartment building with a backback. Any tips on other training and how to navigate this trail?
>>2854593The best and really only way to train for a long hike...is by doing long hikes. Apartment stairs wont cut it. Just start pounding miles out.
>>2854593Load up backpack that weighs 120lbs. Do a 2 mile hike. 3 days after do a 4 mile hike etc til youre confident enough to attempt this trek.Make sure to sty /out/ when you do a 10 mile hike so you can actually test your equipment.
>>2854593Keep us updated, lol.
