I’m new to hiking and I absolutely love it so far! My 14 year old son who is autistic is my hiking buddy and it has allowed for some great bonding time. We’ve only gone on a few day trips so far and the first trial we went on, we didn’t have poles. It was absolute murder on my calves going up hill! I’m not a very active person and I’m desperately trying to change that. So far, I’ve dropped nearly 10lbs with in a week and a half and slowly getting used to it. Taking my time and going slow and taking a break when I need to as not to over exert myself. The last trail we went on, my calves were still a bit sore, but once I got going, they were fine. Then, after climbing up some pretty steep parts on the way to the top of the pinnacle, I took step and I felt a pop then a roll in my left calf. It was near excruciating. My poor son was so worried for me offering to help in any way he could. I sat down and assessed my leg. I may have had a Charlie horse or pulled something... I don’t know... either way, after about 10 minutes, I tried to put some weight on it. I could stand but I couldn’t flex my foot to much neither up nor down with out it being very painful in my calf. I ended up sliding down the steep end that I’d just climbed up with only my stick and my right leg, trying not to use my left leg at all. The rest of the way down, it was much less steep for most of the way. My pole was a life saver for me! It was a great crutch and allowed me to get back down the hill with out having to call for help. I know one thing, I’ll always carry a pole with me from now on!
This was some good validation to slow down and use poles!! Some people make me feel like I just have to suffer and then eventually I’ll get better at hiking. I don’t wanna do it that way and that’s okay :)
It's so great to see you together again guys, and thanks for the hacks and in general for this new videos. Greetings from Mexico and you have a house here whenever you need cuz "mi casa es su casa" :)
Poles are soo important. Both going up and going down. I did the West Highland (Scotland) way with a friend once and following the ascent to the steepest point of the route, there was like a 5km descent which was soo hard for her bc she didn't have poles nor the correct footwear.
It's so funny that you brought up poles because my boyfriend and I go on hikes and he uses poles. I always make fun of him and refuse to try them lol maybe I'll give them a shot...
I hike 8 to 10+ miles most every evening after I eat. My hikes start after 5:30pm. I always take a headlight and always use trekking poles. I carry one litre of water to drink at the halfway point but have hydrated through the day beforehand. I have fairly good shoes and in 3 months I have worn small holes on the inside (medial) portion of each. I have a very good lean balanced diet. I have lost around 25 lbs o fat but have also gained about 10 lbs of lean muscle replacing a portion of that weight. I feel much healthier and stronger since I started. The hills available are low and infrequent. So I hike at a rapid rate to get the required exercise. I love hiking.
blisters are death. The worst I know of is a friend who got brand new boots and then the navigation team failed epicly and hiked 5km in the wrong direction and then had to hike the 7km back to the actual location of home base. Her whole ankle was just a mess of blisters. Love the videos and the music!
I love this channel! I’m 14 and my family loves to hike/camp and this was so funny and helpful! This is only the second video I’ve watched and I can’t wait to see more!
Hello my outdoor friends, thank you for sharing your fine video. You brought out some great pointers to be aware of when hiking in the outdoors. You folks take care, be safe and always have fun. 🤗
i have some questions : 1. how do you shave if you dont have shaving cream or warm water ??? 2. how about the iodine in the air on the west coast ? (dry skin) 3. what snacks do you bring ?
I had the SAME issue with my toes hitting my boots going downhill on a steep hike yesterday. The boots fit fine, but it didn't even occur to me that they were tied too loose which was almost certainly the issue! Would you recommend also wearing thicker socks for that issue?
Suggestions I have seen include lacing techniques, sizing up, using sole inserts such as Superfeet or Dr Scholl's, and, stuffing tissue paper in the toe box. REI has an article on boots, and there are several videos about using the two eyelets on top of shoes to help prevent the feet slipping
Tip #1 bring a suitable sized rubbish bag. Leave no trace and take your rubbish home. That includes your Apple core, banana skin, toilet paper and turds if you can’t bury them.
Pretty cool job guys, but I must say I don't agree with hack number 3, because I know cotton gets soking wet but but polyester create microplastics in the washing machines and all these plastics get into ocean and small fish eat them and they end up into the food chain... so... I am not sure what kills worse... :S a coat on, or changing t-shirt can be a good alternative, cheers guys!
Listen, this video, it's all coool and all ... but hey, I started hiking with zero gear, just some good shoes ... did a 100km "dodentocht" here in Belgium after half a year when I started hiking. All this gear is unneccesary, yes your feet will hurt, yes there wille be pain ... but you don't need al this stuff. You just need to get your head straight and train a bit. No need for fancy stuff. People have been hiking for hundreds of years without stuff.
Even Ötzi had stuff. This is about hiking, not marching 100 miles, and you get free "stuff" (food and drink) when doing the dodentocht. Just training, sure, get out and walk at the very least (note to self: get out and walk)

This chick gets WAY TOO HYPED and screaming a high frequency +80 dB into the mic. Almost went def with this.
