strong vs tough

This is a weird thread I know but I was just thinking about this... There's a big difference between being really strong and being resiliant or tough or whatever you want to call it. Like I'm not overly strong but I'm really resiliant like hot or cold temperatures don't bother me... And I can go literally anywhere with no shoes on cos my feet are literally like rawhide, same with my hands when I've been doing work recently

Like a guy who goes to the gym every day might be really strong, but on the other hand, if you handed him a horse and an axe and told him to go hike over the Rockies without carrying food or anything with him, he most likely wouldn't be able to do it

I do a lot of archery, kayaking, canoeing, outdoor type sports and like I've said before I look like a twig but I'm actually pretty tough not to brag or anything

So what do other people think? Is there a difference between "tough" and "strong"?

in a fight i can truly say just being strong helps more then being tough..at my gym i go to (new york sports club) i lift my weights to get strong and i take kickboxing there which i would say has made me tougher.

I'm not talking about just fights... I'm actually talking about more survival type stuff... Like if you got dumped off in the middle of nowhere with maybe a knife or axe and a horse or small boat how well could you survive with no help...

Also, in a fight, if you can't take a few punches without doubling over, you're going to lose.

So what I'm saying is that people can be "weak" even if they're really strong. Like mountain men for example, they never worked out in gyms or took kickboxing, and they could've beat a modern "tough guy" in a straight fight any day, especially if they could use weapons

That's part of it too

I really don't know the right word but what I'm talking about is the mountain man-y, indian-y mentality... Quick and wiry, as well as having a connection with the wilderness, and the ability to hold your own in a fight when you have to, but also knowing how to avoid a fight
