The Self Control skill category is full of skills for pushing yourself in heroic ways: frenzy, adrenal strength, etc. Don't let yourself get stuck thinking of those as meditative discipline, it could be coming out of rage or determination, that's a character choice that's really irrelevant for the game mechanics.
If you want light to medium armor, rogues aren't bad for the outdoors. And of course fighter.
SoHK has the barbarian which is obviously what you are looking for. It also has the outrider which is like a thief with less of the social/urban and more outdoors skills. Less Conan but could be a perfect fit for some other members of the tribe.
Both the Rogue and Fighter points breaks are good if you are going for a conan like fighter thief. I would likely go Fighter since there is not a lot of mastery of different thief skills you will be seeking. If you are using the talent law book to choose backgrounds rather than randomly generating them, there are a few talents which will further increase the effectiveness of the thief side and fighter side.
