A lot of fat guys are beast elk hunters. You don't need a beach bod to hunt the mountains hard. You need mountain legs and mountain toughness.
5 x 5 strong lifts and HITT
for cardio I highly recommend a variety of aerobics to include swimming sprint laps
nothing will prepare you for that altitude though. Get there a day early and get to 8-9000 and acclimate. going strait to 10000+ is going to hit you. If you. get altitude sickness drop down a few 1000 until your body corrects.

They make a pill for that. The side effects are weird though. Like tingling sensation in the extremities. I definitely had that while I was on the mountain and for a couple weeks when I got back. Not sure if it was the medicine, the cold, or the heavy pack.
Kettlebell simple and sinister by Pavel Tsatsouline. It will cover all your basic fitness needs and leave you with plenty of time and energy for sport specific training (hunting).
5 x 5 is just that.... 5 compound lifts, three per workout, three times a week.... it will hit your entire body
It's gentle on the body but has me stronger and more flexible than I have ever been. It helped fill a lot of gaps in my strength.Going to have to get that. I have a kettlebell but, other than doing some swings occasionally, it collects dust.

I did not. Just like archery and so many other things, patience is your friend. Start with no weight and explore the movements until you get it. Then start with a light kettlebell ,16kg is what I started with.Did you have someone watching your form when you were learning? I have dabbled with it, but feel like it’s a complicated move that could get me injured if form is not correct.
