There are a few dummies out there who peddle activity-based “membership clubs” for people to become “tough and resourceful” in the style of “black ops” and “Jason Bourne skills”. Towards that they charge you thousands of dollars, of course. Suffices to say that doesn’t make anyone tougher anymore than visiting Dracula’s castle makes anything but a bad night’s sleep happen.
I would be better of taking up rock climbing, for example. It is tough, physical, and doesn’t have a lot of room for error. Rock climbing is not for the faint of heart.
You will certainly have to go to a mountaineering school, and hone your practice over many years. You can start with the bouldering wall at your gym.

In U.S. competitive rock climbing, the so called “V” scale is used to describe the grade of the terrain. For example, VB on the V Scale corresponds to YDS 5.1-5.8. (More information on Climbing and Bouldering Rating Systems at REI).
The Local Adventurer Blog has a few nice tips on exercises and games to improve your rock climbing.
I am no expert, but it is a skill I am willing to explore. (Note: There is a substantial risk, including the risk of loss of life, associated with the practice of rock climbing!)

I'm afraid what's left of of the Joe Rogan Kale Shake is the whiskey.
Hello, Max.
That's a nice smoothie right there. Add some coconut water, and you're done.
Rock climbing is beyond me. I prefer to give my money out to Hustler's Camp private group.
