there is the answer to my question from the de la plata series, thank you so much, but for having hiked up to fourty km a day, you seemed quiet comfortable even waking through mud slush and water. all the best for you
WOW!! Many things I haven't heard before! Plus...you got me thinking...at whatever point I started following your PCT hike on TH-cam...I don't recall you ever mentioning any serious foot issues! It seems like just about everyone else I followed had very strong foot problems and some point! So I'm going to rewatch this video again (at a more reasonable time!) and I'm looking forward to more videos (and beer reviews and bridge dances( from you! I don't think I'll make your Saturday Live Q&A, but I hope you post some form of it at a later date!
Thanks Allen! I keep my feet in good shape. I had very minor issues on the trail. 😃
Very informative- never would have thought of anti- persperant!
Try it!!! Much cheaper than other products!
Okay, that was educational. Noted, Thanks.
Thanks for sharing that information Sara. Looking forward to your next video 🍻
Cheers Karen! 🙂
Thx, Sara good info.
Thanks! 🎈
Excellent tips! The hint on drying socks against your body really works, even while hiking; same thing with wrung-dry gloves.
The only time I got blisters was a 20-mile day in mountaineering boots, tore the skin from my heels to Achilles tendon from heel slip. Won't be doing that again, haha.
Those boots sound like a torture device!!!!
I tried leather boots once - got horrible blisters. Never touched them again.
@@SaraDhooma Yeah, those boots were really meant for climbing snow and ice, not for long hikes. I rarely did more than 12 miles a day in the prior to that trip and have only work then a couple of times since. I switched to Danner Lights and other boots that can support off trail travel while still handling low exposure snow and ice grades with full crampons. At least there FS doesn't require full leather for boots these days unless we are on fire duty 😀
Hehehehe , I too have a problem with the big toe rubbing the one next to it , so now instead of a band aide or tape , Santa gave me two pairs of Injinji toe socks , light weight and medium. With my past blisters I used bag balm to keep the skin soft around the blister so when it pops , the skin will be soft to cut or tear and not be all dried up and raspy , who cares if it smell cause you do to. By the way Santa also gave me an mrs pocket rocket II stove , getting excited to get out.
Glad Santa was good to you!!!!! He must also be a hiker. 😎
The Doctor is in the house! (or tent 😉). A lot of common information is available from almost every website or blog. Not so easy to obtain is first hand advice like what you have given here today. I have always dried my hiking socks in the bottom of my sleeping bag, but your idea of placing them on your shoulders underneath your sleep shirt sounds good. May even provide a little extra padding/support for those that use closed cell sleep pads... A+
On second thought, won't that put foul and stinky socks closer to your nose???? 🤢 😁 😂
I am enjoying your channel. What is your opinion on 5 "finger" toe socks or wearing two pairs of socks to prevent blisters?
Hard core stuff! Apparently sleeping with wet socks next to your body boosts the immune system and wards off colds and flu etc. who woulda thought???
So, next Camino, sleep with wet socks on my belly and put antiperspirant on my feet every morning. People will think I’m a nut job...but they don’t know.
It’s high time you turned pro.
Live long and prosper.🖖
