Are you burning a little sage bundle to keep bugs away while you eat on that rock?
Good video. I appreciate right to the point and moving on.
I guess I’m a noob. How do you call S.O.S. on your phone with no signal???
My friend used to sweat a lot too but she went to her doc, not sure what they prescribed or what procedure was done, she now sweats normally.
I never thought about extra cell phone battery, duh, I have a solar charger bank is so good ( just put it on your backpack, so it always powered, with also my old fashion solar luci light ) but how couldn’t I think about just bring another phone battery it can’t be that hard to change, ha ! . Duh. Also agree re socks being most important, is really hard to find the right ones that work well, aka a mix with wool idk, I still haven’t found, thanks for the advice. There are some good blister seals, that work for heels , toes , they are the leave on, stay on, layered ones. I have found so good. hydrocolloid or something.
Cotton breathes. Linen breathes. the real stuff , not what is on shelves now which is just so much percent. aka like the socks is so hard to get it right ones.
I love the new invented rain gear, wicking so much, wee! but I am still not into the manmade synthetic fibers too much. I am slowly trying but not ready to give up on old natural fibers that stood the test of time. like wool in socks.
And cotton is getting a big knock down these days on the gear community. So much! And as an old hiker I don’t get it.
New stuff now, okay is really good fake manmade stuff called in as a bit in, but I wish you all wouldn’t all knock real cotton. ha
( I live through when everything was made of polyester. no ha)
forgive my rant
I can’t get hiking enough these days and guess I am just so jealous. Much Joy, Hike On.
Do you bring the sweat shirt during summer too?
Great information and well presented. Thanks for doing this one.
Remote design backpack 🎒 👌
Great video.
Here are my additions:: 2 Draw-string garbage bags (emergency jacket/pad/etc); Paracord (with loop & one end – for tourniquet, etc); Ace Bandage; Duct Tape (small amt wrapped around flat piece of plastic – 5 yds); Trowel (Alum); whistle; and, Tabasco sauce & $5 bill (there may be a taco stand).
I always wear Long Pants – you may have to bush whack or if it is the desert, you need the protection. I use the lightweight Ex-Officios.
2 Phones – both with downloaded "Organic Maps" offline maps (has 99% of trails -free). I use my Android (no cell service) to take picts & navigate. My IPhone is in my bag and is only for backup or to communicate.
Great video!
I don’t use my phone for navigation, so I cut my phone off so it won’t keep roaming and using battery for no reason. And I carry extra battery. I good with compass and topo maps. I usually turn phone on if I stop and pretty sure I get signal. AND got tired of nice hike and junk mail phone calls.
Well thought out kit! I used to use plastic Nalgene for day hikes and stainless steel for overnighters just in case I have a filter failure or loss and I have to boil. Well, a while ago I switched to a titanium bottle and pack that for both situations. It’s barely heavier than the plastic Nalgene. Simplifying my gear is something I usually like.
I highly recommend sock liners.
You’ll be blister free and it wicks away sweat and water.
Silk is the best.
So is anyone else closing their eyes and just imaging Bob from bobs burgers talking about hiking or is it just me?
So much common sense and insight great advise and tips, thanks.
Add a Garmin fenix watch. Its a proper backup to the delicate phone complete with a color map and auto-routing via preloaded trails, plus all your routes can be easily imported/saved and loaded up in the watch if needed. It has far better battery life than my apple watch and is simply perfect for hiking and other outdoor activities. Its worth every penny.
intense upload FinerBub. I crushed the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the terrific work.
Great video!
Question: how do you handle your waste during your hiking?
Check out a pair of foldable scissors, I think they’d be lighter and more compact even than the mini Swiss army
Listening to your explanation and comparison of camelbak type bladders & water bottles, you emphasised the problems of cleaning the two different types. This reminded me of friends some years ago recounting their bike trek along the Karakoram Highway; the reported the only people on the trip who did not suffer from any stomach bug were those that used the bladder system. The reason seemed to be that one had to clean the bladder properly and those with the bottles often made a cursory rinse at a refill point and therefore were likely to increase the risk of germs and microbes contaminating the equipment. I have used both systems and short walks lean towards bottles and that’s where the katadyn filters come into their own. Good video, thanks.
I’m new to hiking and I want to get in more day hikes. I’m 64 years old and just retired. got most of my stuff when I was working so it’s so it time to see what work and don,t lol. any advice is cool.
And um yeah 2020
Nice man , im planning mount Washington Huntington ravine trail next summer. Going down lions head trail. Any tips?
How do you call SOS without cell phone service? I’ve been binge watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. My only gripe, and I hear this a lot, is that you can call 911 if you don’t have service. If a cel phone does not have a connection to a cel tower, i.e. no service, it can not make a call, period. When people say "you can make a 911 call with no service" what they mean is that if you don;t have a cel phone plan that includes minutes of talk or texting, you can always make a 911 call, BUT you clearly need to have ‘service connectivity’ for a cel phone to call anyone.
Thanx. Excellent video. Very helpful for an old newbie.
This is the first video I’ve seen of you and I must admit, it’s indeed informative. One of the best ones I’ve seen, and I’ve seen quite a few! Thank you so much!
What half day to day pack would you reccomend from Osprey? this is because I run, bike, and hike all with the same backpack, so I am looking for a versitile one. I was looking between the Osprey Raptor 14 and the Osprey Talon 22.
Why you carry such heavy bottles? Life Water, Bro.
TY 4 SHARING! I need to revisit a few things after watching your insight.
This video was way longer than it needed to be lol
i have NEVER been a fan of water bladders, for all the reasons you mention, and likely a few more!
I was surprised you didn’t mention boots and insoles. It’s funny to hear folks say a given brand is better than others. The boot to get is the one that fits your foot the best. All the top brands make a great variety of boots. Get the boot that fits your feet and activity. Don’t get too much boot. And look for after market insoles. I like ice-bugs.
One thing I found out by accident is soaking bare feet in an ice cold creek when hiking downhill will prevent blisters.
Water water water!!!
It’s nice to hear someone else has to deal with getting soaked from sweat! Especially problematic in anything other than hot weather.
Carry a Grayl.
This guy sounds like archer- bobs burgers! Hahaha!
Great video, and really liked your breakdown of content attached, and links.
Thanks for the no nonsense video!
I have to agree, great video!! I’m new to hiking and I want to get in more day hikes, I just completed my first weekend hiking/camping trip. It was a trip to remember and carrying a 40LB pack shows that I can do it..
Bro, I saw that fishman donut bank…
What about the most important item ,your footwear?
Man I just noticed his eyes and damn
Thanks for the video. Definitely agree about the water bladders!
Lovely ♥️
Nice job! Very detailed, documented, active working links., Captioning on ( so hard of hearing like me can ‘hear ya’ it’s not 100% but A plus effort, works for me!)
Thanks
Thank you for this! Straight to the point! Very informative with no fluff and frills! This was awesome and helped me out immensely!
I love AllTrails too. It was super helpful recently when hiking in the Black River Forest here in Wisconsin. There are a lot of trails and links and side trails so it can be easy to take a wrong turn.
That was very useful. Thank you.
