When you focus, plan, do the things in your life so as the hike happens and you finally have to face your own competitive side of your personality. Reminding us this is not a competition will help me for sure.
Love your advice. I think i am going to hike the land that power transmission lines are on as there are no official trails near me
Good video and good tips. Wish he pronounced the ‘t’ in water though it did my head in.
I’ve been in the woods my whole life, and I’m here to say that this is unnecessary.
Embracing the suck is one thing that I learned in the Army. The ones that do best are the ones that laugh about it been miserable. Also I agree with you that the best way to get ready is to do it. Many forget that your body has to get used to the friction and weight of the gear. Where your boots my create a hot spot so you can put some mole skin in advance. Crapping in the woods and on and on. Listen to him people. LOL
Darwin if youre not making “Embrace the suck” stickers, you’re doin it wrong. Great vids!
Ticks? What do you do if you end up with Rocky Mountain Spoted disease?
Even though my goal is to hike Mt. Kilamanjaro, this video is very informative.
I’m starting this epic quest tomorrow don’t think the weather will be as nice as you had sadly
My buddies and I have been training to do some of the peaks in SoCal and we have been hiking trails with our backpacks filled with what we’d normally have on a 2-3 day trip.
I did a 20 miler on my first day of training with a 40 pound ruck. I ended up hurting my left foot.
I was proud of myself and yet it was stupid.
Ps: alcohol stoves are dangerous!
Hi! Your videos are really helpful for people like me who are new to hiking. Do you take people for hiking?
Its all about perspective. Close to 100m in US watched the SuperBowl last year. 50M on just game 7 of 2016 World Series. (Could add up the other games)
Then again 116Million people watched the Finale of Mash; but how many channels/options/other entertainment was readily available?
Embrace the suck. Love it! So true. In your training, you can make the suck harder in certain ways than it will be out on the trail. Then maybe the trail will be less of a shock to your body and mind. I actually loaded up an old highschool jansport bookbag with 40 lbs of bricks to train with. I looked like a fool walking around the neighborhood with bricks clanking around on my back, but when I got on the trail, my real pack was incredibly comfortable compared to the pain of those bricks digging into my shoulders through thin straps without much padding and no hip belt.
I’m deadass training to get through Disneyland without getting tired������������
3. 5 days to walk my local SDW that is no mean feat. Respect. My ambition is to do it in three… atb
Yeah I’ve hiked 1008.2 miles of the AT and I never “trained”.
All you have to do is hike. And also important to get your head straight
When hiking in the really hot weather, have you ever experienced hikers rash?
