Return to Hideaway Mountain.
มุมมอง 372 หลายเดือนก่อน
A few years ago I attempted to summit Hideaway Mountain but got turned back by storm clouds in the area. The peak is every exposed and it isn't where you want to be when a storm rolls in. Leaving this hike unfinished has been nagging at me to complete and I finally got my chance last week.

Your Appalachian Trail Thru Hike - Beating the Mental Game, Part 1

The mental aspect of a thru hike can be just as, or even more, challenging as the physical side. I've seen plenty of people who started in great shape, banging out high miles, only to get off trail before the end of North Carolina because they were not equipped to overcome mental hurdles.

    Thanks for a great review, i was looking into this tent as my first walking pole tent, but because i hade to seam seal it and being a single wall i ended up with the Lanshan 1 instead. Very happy with it but just sometimes a little smal on the inside, but the lunar looks like a palace inside. The Lanshan will properly be replaced but if it will be a Lunar Solo or a Gossamer gear the two, man i'm having a hard time deciding...

      Thanks for watching. I absolutely love the Lunar Solo, especially for the price and weight. As someone who is 73", I had plenty of room inside. I knew a few people who had the Gossamer One and none of them liked it. I heard the Two was much better.

  • @glennl70

    Thanks for the heads up. I used it yesterday and where I actually was, and where Alltrails showed me where I was, was way off. It also failed to show trails that would have gotten me back on course. Fortunately, it was a day hike. But the 7.5 mile hike ended up being 11.5 miles. Fortunately , I'm in decent shape and had extra supplies in case I got real lost. I'll use the app to find trailheads, and that's it.

    @raymondbond1468 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not %100 but I'm sure that fuel transfer in a pressurized can doesn't work that way. Unless you have a pump, the two cans will just equal out. You need a pump system to force the total fuel from one can to another, otherwise the can with more pressure will empty in to the lesser can until the pressure equals out. So that device may just be a scam.

    Hi Greg, yes I got a reflective pad which is similar to that windscreen thing that you put in your car in hot weather and I think it works ok . anyway, that said, you talked about putting bungies around the mat and reflector ? maybe use some of that rubbery net they put under mats in the house to stop slipping, it's cheap as chips !

    Helpful, thanks! I'll probably get it because there's nothing else like it: running vest and ~50L size. As I suspected and your review confirmed, I'll probably be cutting a LOT of things off of it. Seems like such a great pack, and all other reviews (diff size/shape people) say it's very comfortable. If they trimmed off some of the crap, it would also make it lighter - 36-40oz is a lot compared to some of the ultralight frameless 40L packs around 14oz.

  • @theoriginalkaro
    @theoriginalkaro 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Well here’s what most people do not consider. What does it cost you at home, not hiking? What do you normally spend on food, gas, laundry, housing, utilities, medical/medicines, etc.? I don’t think you should consider food as part of the cost to hike. Lodging, yes. Ubers, etc. yes. Hostels yes. Equipment, clothing specific to thru-hiking, yes. My first interest in thru-hiking started while reading the book Lost on the Appalachian Trail by Kyle Rohrig. He wore the same shoes for over 1K miles before getting another pair. He used a hammock. His backpack was a military style and pack weight was about 40 lbs. He made his own hiking staff. Not everyone will hike like this, but he even hiked 2/3 of it with his dog! He is from Florida so wasn’t used to mountain hiking. My point is that you can find a way to do it if you want to by doing what works for you.

    Radiant insulation requires an air gap in construction to work, so having reflectix + an inflatable pad to provide the air gap is what works. Some insulated inflatable pads have reflective foil down the middle with air gaps on both sides and can get R4 value, just having reflective mylar emergency blanket underneath an air pad would also work. Radiant insulation requires that air gap, that is why a space blanket directly on the skin is colder, it becomes conductive, but with an air gap it reflects heat.

  • @jimj7571
    @jimj7571 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for the tips. Be very careful using the fuel transfer device. At room temperature, canisters should be filled no more than about 80% full of liquid with 20% volume of gas at the top to allow for expansion. If a canister is filled with liquid with no "headspace," then an increase in temperature results in a large increase in pressure and can cause the canister to burst. If the released gas ignites, it's the bomb!
