The Role of Fitness in Survival

30th May 2022

We often come across content about bug out bags and people setting off to adventure around the world, but something which isn’t always talked about alongside the flat lays…is fitness.

The ability to carry your gear comfortably, stay upright when walking over difficult terrain, pull out an extra 30% or more of effort when required, and heal quickly from injury is all related to fitness.

We talk about diet, strength and aerobic training and how these are beneficial to all of your activities.

Modern Outdoor Survival is a podcast from Original Outdoors.

It began as a standalone show, and is now part of the range of podcast titles available under the Original Outdoors brand.

The purpose of this show is to share realistic and relevant outdoor safety with a global audience.

Survival is about good planning, good training and good decisions – it is not about flashy gear or weird, esoteric skills.
