I’d be interested in this too!

My experience has been that to put bulky lighter stuff in the pulk and heavy smaller stuff in the pack. The leverage of the pulk poles or ropes made maneuvering heavier loads further away from the body much more difficult.

I learned the hard way on a hut trip not to bring more stuff just because you have a pulk. My buddies were like “Jesse’s bringing a sled let’s bring all this stuff.” Bad idea.

Ed,

Check out the American alpine club “rescue benefit”. It comes with two levels of coverage for different memberships.

Best, Jesse

Here’s the other page from Training Peaks showing the workout I derive my Aet HR from.

Hi,

I just did the AeT test on a track with a chest strap. So much so that my heart rate barely budged this time.

I think I was going too slowly. Here’s a screen shot from my Training Peaks and what I calculated the heart rate to be. Is this as it should be without having done the Anearobic Test?

Since this was so close to one of the examples in the video and there was even a negative drift in my heart rate. I estimated my heart AeT to be slightly higher at 152. Does that make sense?

Also, how should I be calculating my Anearobic threshold without doing the test? It looks like the online caclulator doesn’t work with out it.

Stoked to feel like I have a pretty accurate AeT now!
