First of all, take a vow of poverty. Then, plan on never gettin' sick or retiring, 'cause there ain't a lick of benefits. Next, buy a treadmill. You gotta be able to walk like a billy goat over the worsest mountings on the planet. Next, you gotta be able to sharpen a knife good, chop firewood good, get up REAL early for weeks on end. Buy one of them lights thet go on yer bean, cause yer gonna be saddlin' hosses in freezin' weather in the dark ever mornin'. Oh yeah, you gotta be able to lift 125 lb. elk quarters by yer lonesome, 'cause fat dudes often like to sit an watch. Ifn' you can do all thet, then let me know an' I'll put you in touch with an outfitter thet needs good guides.
