    Thank you. This video helps.😊

    Wool socks are the best I’ve started hiking recently and got some trekking poles arriving today :3

  3. @Zoappeelhel on December 11, 2024 at 7:40 pm

    6:41 that pattern is so pattern-y

  4. @mikesalas2683 on December 11, 2024 at 7:40 pm

    Great orange tape tip

  5. @OkinawaSurf82 on December 11, 2024 at 7:41 pm

    Great video

  6. @kvog85 on December 11, 2024 at 7:41 pm

    Great tips! I hadn’t thought about the trail marking tape, but that’s awesome. Plus, God forbid you get hurt while you’re off trail and can’t hike out, it can lead SAR right to you.

  7. @despacitodaniel801 on December 11, 2024 at 7:41 pm

    I’m terrified but excited. I’m ready I think

  8. @DinoH8sU on December 11, 2024 at 7:45 pm

    Good stuff thank you

  9. @Iggy1328 on December 11, 2024 at 7:45 pm

    I just watched this as I would lie to get into over night hiking, here was me thinking that I was going to need to start doing more exercise…. I now feel quite up to the task doing 6km walks every day before work while carrying 3l of water and wearing steal caps and jeans…. I’m going on a hike this weekend now

    I am an experienced hiker of 40 years. I started out at the age of 9. For beginners, I think this is one of the best videos I have seen. I carry a Leatherman Wave as well as a fixed-bladed knife. Love the orange tape but I never use trekking poles. I use a 6′ walking staff. I have always felt using trekking poles was over working the arms and my 6′ hiking stick will allow me scare a snake off, gauge the depth of water and as a ridge pole if you have to build an emergency shelter. Great advice about stepping over a log. The boy scout book I had in the 80’s showed that and also talked about the multiple uses of a walking staff.

  18. @HillwalkTours on December 11, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    Great Advice!🥾

  19. @mehdizeynalov1062 on December 11, 2024 at 7:56 pm

    thanks very much

  20. @regulatorscout6288 on December 11, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    Good video and information. I carry a couple ways to make fire, Bic in an Exotac Fire Sleeve for one and a "ferro rod". A tea candle also can be carried in a fire kit and has some usefulness.

    The Hug-A-Tree program is free now and offers some useful tips for those who hike with youth.

    As for some of your commenters, in the years since their comments I wonder if we have read articles about recovery operations or them drinking water from their boots?

    Appreciate you getting the word out. SAR’s job is easier when people have knowledge, skills, and the correct gear.

  21. @gafk2975 on December 11, 2024 at 7:59 pm

    Clothes and equipment should never be in any kind of camo pattern or colors that blend in. You always want to stand out and be spotted easily by other hikers or if something happens to you by a rescue helicopter. This is why you always buy stuff with screaming colors that pop out like sore thumb among the rocks and vegetation like red/orange.

    Another cheap and amazing thing can potentially save your life if you get lost is a strong laser pointer as those things can be seen from miles away when it gets dark.

  22. @Michael23459 on December 11, 2024 at 8:02 pm

    The average hiker can hike 4 mph so you can do a 3 mile hike less than a hour. So you don’t need a pack but if you’re going on a 10 mile hike I say take everything he says. If you hike with dogs be sure to bring water and food for them also.

  23. @CNST1028 on December 11, 2024 at 8:06 pm

    Me and my boyfriend went on our first official hike a few days ago. We had a lot of the right ideas, and some fails. 😂 The trail selected was moderate to hard, we had way too much stuff in our backpacks so they were heavy. I had too much clothing and wound up hot, but all in all it was a good learning experience. I love your video and wish I would have watched it first.

  24. @tanairigonzalez9793 on December 11, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    I hope to go hiking for first time in my life before I turn 50 in 2025!

  25. @DanielKing-o9e on December 11, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    This is great! My only addition would be sun protection. Long sleeves and hat or proper sunscreen. I have had two close family members get sun cancer, it is no joke. Even when it is cloudy or you have some tree coverage there is still UV rays.

  26. @projectJ30 on December 11, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    Hiking..

    Perfect video for beginners, thank you!

  31. @chrissyt6959 on December 11, 2024 at 8:14 pm

    This was awesome! Thank you!

  32. @Rileyhale-v5d on December 11, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    This is good advice. Another map option is to take a photo of the map if there is one on the trailhead or if online, you can take a screenshot of map. It is also good to have a pocket charger for your phone. If the terrain is challenging and several trails branch off of main trail, a physical map is probably your best option. Happy Trails!

  33. @Bey0ndMyBeauty on December 11, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    I plan on hiking soon & I didn’t know it was so much that goes into hiking so thank you for this very informative video!

  34. @patrickjones1199 on December 11, 2024 at 8:19 pm

  35. @taramoore2702 on December 11, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    Very informative. Thank you.

  36. @JFGVSocial on December 11, 2024 at 8:22 pm

    Beginners step one, go hike. You’re not going to get far enough to need anything but 2 water bottles.

  37. @jss302 on December 11, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    Thank u!

  38. @Ritikkumar-lr7rk on December 11, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    Can you tell me which historical features can be found when hiking up the slhanay peak trail??

  39. @franktillman295 on December 11, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    Very helpful video!!🙂🙂

  40. @deejaykaydee on December 11, 2024 at 8:27 pm

    i personally ditched the hiking boots and use a solid pair of trail runners. lighter and comfy. make sure they have good tread on the bottom

  41. @fedest on December 11, 2024 at 8:27 pm

    Great tips!! I have a question reg. the last one, though. I’ve heard that in areas with many trees, mountains or creeks, there can be lot of echo and make it too hard to distinguish where the sound is actually coming from. I’ve even heard of people who got lost despite being quite close to the trail or road because of following the sound that inadvertently led them towards the echo rather than the sound source. Any thoughts on this?

  42. @wadeinskeep4866 on December 11, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    Hydrate well the day before a day hike also..

  43. @vlachyna on December 11, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    Jooo, to byl můj plan… projít cely Japonsko…

    To jste zlurvili…

    Nakoupil jsem si gear za 30k úplně zbytečně…

    To je jako s telefonem…

    Nefunkční kus železa za 50k😂😂

    Jsem profesionální oběť! Dělej, řekni to!!!!

    Ty sachysto…

  44. @nigeljones8202 on December 11, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    I am an experienced hiker and just watched this out of interest, it’s about the best I’ve seen for beginners. Some great advice, especially the orange marker tape and the stop and listen advice.

  45. @blank4700 on December 11, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    Well, I sure do hope I don’t get lost.

  46. @Junebug00000 on December 11, 2024 at 8:35 pm

    Great advice! I would add one thing: take a Photo of you and sending to the person you give your info to, that way they know what you look like on that exact day (just in case they have to search for you). And always assume you might be there over night. If you have a lot of new stuff, it might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with them before you hike.

  47. @charlesmckinney on December 11, 2024 at 8:35 pm

    Dont just look where you’re going…look behind you to see where you’ve been so you’ll know where you’re going on you’re way back.

  48. @isitlina on December 11, 2024 at 8:37 pm

    im thinkkng about going on some light day hikes in the polish mountains this year and this video so far has been one of the best ones ive found! to the point, no weird sponsorships, no „buy this extremely expensive gear” but very informative! also, i love your accent, sir! 🤝🏻❤️

  49. @leonieschnieders190 on December 11, 2024 at 8:37 pm
