It's a great idea to start training now. Your backpack will weight between 35 to 45 pounds including shared group gear/food. We recommend going on multiple hikes with a weighted pack on trails with as much elevation gain as possible. If that is not possible, you can also wear your pack on the stairmaster at the gym.
