In this episode of Hiking News, we delve into some of the most compelling updates in the outdoor and tech world. First, there are significant leaks about the Garmin Phoenix 8. A private page on the Garmin website was accidentally indexed by Google, revealing that the new Phoenix 8 will feature an AMOLED screen, combining the best aspects of the Phoenix and Epix series. This suggests a move towards more versatile and high-performance hiking watches that cater to various user preferences.
Additionally, we discuss Google's upcoming announcement of the Pixel 9, which is expected to include satellite connectivity. This new feature could revolutionize how hikers and outdoor enthusiasts stay connected in remote areas, providing an essential safety net for those venturing off the grid. The integration of satellite technology in smartphones could be a game-changer for navigation and emergency communication.
In more somber news, we cover a disturbing incident at Yellowstone National Park, where a potential mass shooting was averted. This highlights the importance of staying vigilant and informed about safety issues while enjoying national parks. The episode also touches on the tragic events involving park rangers and wildlife, emphasizing the need for responsible behavior in natural settings to preserve both human and animal lives.
Stay tuned for these updates and more, including insights into new features for popular hiking apps and tools, as well as critical information about forest fires affecting trails on the West Coast. Make sure to subscribe for the latest news and tips to enhance your hiking adventures.
Followup to my Garmin Fenix / Epix info - right after posting this I got an email from Garmin telling me the Fenix 7 and Epix are on sale. Good sign that something new is coming.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm a Fenix owner and happy with what I have, however you are wonderful to talk about the new Fenix. I've been a fan of your channel and your knowledge.
Garmin might be realizing their wearable lineup is too confusing for most consumers.
@@jeff_aurand I agree!
May I ask where they stated the sales were / when they would start? I don’t see anything from the official retailers for Fenix watches. thank you!
@@justinhongphotography www.garmin.com/en-US/your-watch-your-way/family/26924/?AMER-OUT-PROM-MCJT71306-YWYWfenix7epix-PromoMRP+%282%29_default&EMAIL&Marketing
Love this format. The updates were very concise and super relevant.
Thank you!
Even though - living in the Italian alps - most information isn’t relevant for me I always watch your videos as they are super informative and interesting.
Thank you!
I work in urgent care and people get freaked out by sniffles these days, really. Then they're disappointed when they get negative Covid tests. Honestly, be happy you're not seriously sick! Speaking of stupidity, I'm really tired of people thinking that wildlands are Disneyland. Go to a freakin amusement park if that's what you want, a national park is NOT that. LOL
Thanks for such a comprehensive report, Chris! 😊
An app for forest fires must be the Watch Duty app, the newest update integrates the ALERT camera network. The only problem is that out on the trails you often don't have service. One of my concerns is getting caught behind a fire line of a fire that started after you started hiking.
Been playing around with it - stay tuned for some deeper coverage
@@Hikingguy i am a long time supporter of the app, it's so cool. Looking forward to your review!
I waded through 100' of stinging nettles and had my legs go numb. I self-rescued; I carry benadryl.
Great video, very informative lots happening!
The best, no - nonsense channel.
The forest service partnering with indigenous groups is interesting, would definitely like to hear more of what comes out of this.
Hiking News is one of my favourite things you do. Stoke for the highest Class 1 project. Your channel is amazing. I am too poor to financially support it, but I do what I can with the like button and comment and clicking your ads. Take care.
Thank you and appreciate absolutely everything, including the like / comment / etc., I couldn't do this without you so big big thank you
@@Hikingguy Hey just an FYI, there are better options for Idaho than the peak you've selected! I'm very familiar with the Idaho 12/11/10ers and you don't have to select something so far down the elevation list. I would lista couple suggestions here but I'm a bit confused as to your selection criteria.
@@maxwellerickson7066 Awesome, thank you for your help. I've gotten some conflicting info about Idaho. Let me know what you have. The criteria is here (also a sheet in the spreadsheet):
The hike has to be on a class 1 trail. No mountaineering, scrambling, or off-trail route-finding for at least some part of the year.
Ideally the trail is named and maintained by official sources.
Hike is to the highest summit possible. A high altitude hike that doesn't include a summit does not count.
The hike has to be on public land.
There has to be some movement of the legs involved. No drive-ups.
@@Hikingguy Sure thing -- those are definitely some restrictive criteria for Idaho, which might have the least developed mountainous terrain in the lower 48. Class 1 is entirely doable, as is public land, but the "maintained traail" requirement is trickier -- Derek Percoski, who has summited every 11er in the state, reports that not a single one has a currently maintained hiking trail to the top.
That said, there are definitely other options. Peak 10288 (Annies Peak) is in the right area -- this portion of the northern Lemhis tends to have some higher sections with class 1 summits. I would take a look at Iron Creek Point (10,740'), which is nearby -- there's an old desigated pack trail that goes straight to the class 1 summit. As far as I'm aware, it's no longer maintained, but it's still class 1 and would require essentially zero routefinding.
Other good options would include the south approach to Inyo Benchmark (10,614'), also in the northern Lemhis -- LOJ has it as being class 2, but the Rick Baugher approach should get you there with minimal routefinding, as you'll be following an old Jeep track until you get above treeline. The only real obstacle for this one is a small ford near the beginning and the length of the approach... roughly 8 miles one way.
Outside of this area, Cache Peak (10,339') is the highest peak in southern ID and is regarded my some (me) as class 1... but it might be stretching your criterion regarding routefinding. Essentially, it's very easy to follow a maintained trail up to a high saddle, and from then on there is a relatively easy route following climber's trails all the way to the summit with no bushwhacking, but most people stick too closely to the south part of the saddle and end up in thick tree cover (and a boulder field). For the correct, class 1 route, see Rob Woodall's trip report & GPX track on Peakbagger. If you really want to minimize routefinding, I would recommend this as a winter snowshoe hike, which would be a great workout and is a fairly popular way to summit this peak. This option also helps ensure that you don't take a wrong turn, as you get more visibility.
Let me know if one of these ends up working for you! If not, I'll keep brainstorming and see if I can't think of other options. I suspect there may be other options in the Lemhis and potentially the White Clouds.
@@Hikingguy Hey, did you get my previous reply to this? I just came back to this thread and I noticed it doesn't seem to be showing.
Great content as always. Please consider an updated deep dive on Gaia gps.
Love these updates, but I will say that the parks need to severely increase the fines for negligent behavior. Having been to 5 parks in the last month across the west, there’s just so many people that disrespect the rules and signage.
Thank you.
You mentioned you don’t use all trails all the time. What are you using now? Still on Gaia even with the price rise? Moved to onX? What other apps you use or recommend? Could be nice that you have a new updated video on this.
Map and compass
Will make a video soon re:navigation
I just bought an Epix Saphire gen 2 .... for $499 instead of $899.... this must be why.
That's an incredible buy and still a great watch, not expecting the F8 to be anything groundbreaking
Was it a Pro model and where did you find this deal?
@@MultiKtm300 www.garmin.com/en-US/
You the man, as usual.
I was in the back country a few weeks back and my Iphone gps couldn't find where I was, but my EPIX showed me exactly where I was. It seems like the AWU GPS doesn't work well without cell service.
Pixel 7 and 8 also have that Exynos 5300 modem that technically supports it as well. But this is 50/50 still whether or not it will work on those phones. I hope so, I have the 8 Pro and I just got it lol.
HG great content and a huge amount of useful information. Your videos were a huge assistance in my updating to a Garmin GPSMAP 67i . I wanted to integrate InReach and GPS into one device and have data collection for my hunting and overlanding activities being able to be saved into one program.
But I have run into one issue that you may able to do a video on.
New South Wales (Australia), Department of Primary Industry manages hunting access in State Forest here. You must book in and carry their current maps, largely to stay clear of active logging and forestry activities and for numbers management. Yet, it appears with Garmin's change to MTP from USB Mass Storage the .kmz files DPI uses, wont upload.
Am I missing something.
Keep the great information coming.
Thank you and try this official Google program - does the MTP connection if you're on a Mac: dl.google.com/dl/androidjumper/mtp/current/androidfiletransfer.dmg
The MTP connection on a PC works as expected I think. It's a pain but it works.
The more comments' the better, right?
Answer: BC THE ENDURO2 is better in every way. Enduro 2 makes the Fenix obsolete
Is Garmin considered the best watch for hiking? I'm looking for something that lasts about 4 days on the trail.
Yea Garmin can handle 4 days without much fuss.
Thanks
wow
Garmin is greedy.
It's too bad Garmin keeps screwing over it's customers by changing and "improving" watches every year. The average person doesn't want to drop $1000 every year. They should have put the amoled screen on the fenix as an option from the start.
@@LowGearHiker most people I know aren’t doing it annual, usually 3-5 year upgrade and hand me downing their old one to a younger guy that needs an entry into Garmin or upgrade
The Epix is a friggin Fenix with an AMOLED screen. It's the same watch other than the screen. That's why they're getting rid of the Epix branding and just going to do a MIP and AMOLED Fenix 8.
