    No, I can't use an auger, we'll be in remote locations flying in by helicopter, so there's a weight limit on equipment we can carry. Similarly, I can't hire someone regardless of their legal status; we won't be near any population centers. They will primarily be large holes, but yes, close holes have their own particular challenges.
    For clarity, I do this for a day or two from time to time, so I'm not a total novice. But, this time it'll be for hours a day for several weeks straight. Hence the wanting to be stronger and more fit for duty (and hopefully in less pain!). Thanks for the suggestions.

    Those darn luggage limits on aircraft.

    Closest thing i've done is sledgehammer shoveling, which is explained here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_OjQo7Bg5ho

    That's for stamina/endurance of the target muscles. For overall strength, I would also do a full-body strength program (Stronglifts 5x5, etc). :+1:
