    I like how you looked at what your body needed and stopped hiking earlier than planned. Getting things done so you could get enough rest before flying to LA was so necessary. The importance of being flexible. Great video!!!!

      So true! Thanks. It was a good entry into LA as a result.

    Sunshine, you are handling those steeper inclines just right. Earl Shafer was the first man to successfully thru-hike the entire AT continuously in 1948. If you've read his book, he said he found the key to hiking the inclines was to take much shorter steps. He said if it took him 2000 steps to complete a section of Trail, he would use 4,000 steps on the same length of inclined trail. He found that it greatly helped on inclines without continuously exhausting himself.

    It looks SERIOUSLY intense on the video.
    BTW just got my new 100% cotton boxers in the post today, for my Camino, and they are THE best underpants I've worn since I was a teenager. Hooray !!
    A long hiking stick like that is a hiking STAFF (it's what I use myself), the plural of it BTW is Staves -- which is entirely non-coincidentally also the name of the bars of musical notation.
    Prior to the Modern Era, hikers of all types would carve notations into their staves, including musical ones (including onto shorter sticks), as well as all other sorts of info including just records of their walks, so that there is a beautiful congruence between Pilgrimage, Merchants, Hiking, Accounting, and Music.

    you should read Grandma Gatewood's walk. Easy read and good book. She was tagged as the first female thru hiker at age 68 with only a pillowcase holding some food and clothing. She did this 3 more times I believe after that. She hiked in keds tennis shoes. Enjoying your frankness and nitty-gritty about the hike.

    Nine miles in one day is more than enough. The immediate previous days also were super plus miles. If you start again, maybe begin where you left off.

    • @WorldTowning
