Yeah, I know it's pretty ruff out there. Whenever you mention him working out with his weights it brings to mind my own working out. I mainly did it to be in shape for any .. problems that might arise. It actually kept me from having problems.
Anyway in HIS pics he looks like he was fairly stout.
I'm not saying that's why he kept in shape, just that it's likely.
Survival on the road is an interesting subject.
