I've never been big. Even now, at my largest, I'm 6' and 200 lbs. Spent a lot of time in the 165-175lb range.

I spent most of my days stomping though fens and forests, and digging holes when I got there. While it sounds scenic (and parts of it certainly were), I've huffed it through some of the shittiest terrain imaginable while carrying gear.

My least favorites were dense shrubby fens and old burns. A buddy and I spent 20 mins moving 100 m once lol.

I'd work 300 hr months from mid May until end of November and then go on rotation on the mines to recover with 240 hr months.

10 years of that was enough. I've been luxuriating behind a desk for the last 5 years. It's a nice way to retire from the field, and my hips and back are much happier
