Anybody use the rest step technique when climbing terrain? I heard of it for the first time awhile ago and if you don't know what it is, here's the gist of it: When going up steep terrain or in snow, take a step and then momentarily lock your knee. That takes the weight off your muscles and puts it onto your bones and skeleton.
Supposedly it's a "slow and steady" approach that keeps your heart rate lower and doesn't fatigue your muscles as bad. Not sure it'd be the best with a heavy load of meat but who knows. I've never heard hunters use it but it sounds like it's a common technique for mountaineers. Anyways I was just curious if anybody has tried it.
