I am taking a four day wildland fire class on Oahu, HI and at the end of the class we "might" take the pack test the instructor said. Where are you taking it Dan-O?

Do you run 3 miles for that test? In under what time? How heavy is the vest? Just wondering because I might be taking that test soon.
