    You should interview the Wander Women about their Solvena hike if you want an overseas on. More older hikers are doing overseas. The Hiking Rev is finishing up the Ireland Way this Year and Mary Davidson who just finished the American Discovery Trail in her 80s. Please think about older hikers she wrote The Old Lady and the Trail. Enjoy both the podcast and your CZcams content.!

      @kerrykells7052 Před 3 měsíci +3

      I agree-so many videos on CZcams, all the podcasts, it's all 20 and 30-something aged people. Even her "It's the People" photo shows ONLY young people. There are us older hikers out there and we are changing our lives, also, and have insight on life, love, experiences and struggles. I wonder if there are ANY older people in Elina's playlist on the PCT? I love her film storytelling style, but sometimes, there is a bit of the entitled life in the younger audience/filmmaker when really, they are PRIVILEDGED to have the time off/money and lack of responsibilities to get to hike a trail that takes 5-6 months. Every time I thought it was too difficult and I was exhausted at the end of the day, I had to remind myself that any difficulty in the outdoors was better than being in an office working a soul-sucking job.

    @bodymindhealth4u Před 3 měsíci +9

    I laughed when you started talking about extravert versus introvert.
    I am an introvert, mostly, but almost everyone thinks I’m an extrovert, because I am “outgoing”, passionate, hyper, and totally comfortable with public speaking.
    Although some people think they are an introvert but really they have some level of social anxiety. You can prefer something but it doesn’t bother you or you can be uncomfortable therefore you “don’t like it” but if you were comfortable, you would like it. I guess it’s a deeper insight into if you know why or why not you like something.
    Here’s one idea of how to tell. If you generally prefer to be alone (or group of two or less), even if you’re comfortable around people, you’re an introvert. Whereas, if you’re fine, being alone, but you’d rather be hanging out with friends, you are an extrovert. And Like everything in life, this is on a scale. Some people are ambiverts (in the middle). I’m actually probably ambivert toward the introvert side.
    If you are uncomfortable around people, that is shy or anxiety in some form and totally fixable if you want. Not that you have to. It’s totally OK if you want to be shy. Just know that shyness does not equal being an introvert. Similarly not every extravert likes to be in the public limelight.
    I have come across people who are shy and have social anxiety, but they are extroverts. And they don’t find relationships and life very rewarding until they deal with that anxiety because by nature they want to be around people.
    Hopefully that makes some sense.

    An extrovert needs to be around people often, and the experience energizes them, they can get in a funk when alone for too long..An introverts energy gets depleted in large groups of people and needs alone time to energize, they can entertain themselves and are almost never lonely..That is how you determine which you are...Most people know which they are when they hear a proper definition..

    • @dananorth895
      @dananorth895 Před 2 měsíci

      The Atlantic Journal did an article several decades ago called "How to Care for your Introvert" which nails the differences between intro and extro "verts". It's quite hilarious and became very popular, so you'll have to try a little harder to find it. I forgot the author's name.

    • @coconinoman
      @coconinoman Před měsícem

      That's a good explanation of the difference between an extrovert and an introvert. You can be an outwardly social introvert and quite chatty but if you need quiet time to recharge you're probably an introvert. If you need to be around people to recharge you're probably an extrovert even if you're fairly quiet in a group.

    Kyle, you need to get out into the world more. 😉 @ElinaOsborne, I followed all your PCT and TA videos. I had already watched Constantine hike the Hayduke on YT, so I already knew how crazy it would be when you said you were doing it! I'd like to walk the Nakasendō 中山道 (aka Kisokaidō) in Japan, but it seems there are NO English guides!

  • @GypsyGirl317

    Ambivert = combination of both introvert and extrovert. ❤
    I have traditionally been more of an extrovert, though now as I grow older (late 60s and still tramping too), I'm more of an ambivert.
    I'm also a fan of both of you.
    Great interview! Both please keep up your great content. 😊

    Great episode! I watched all her PCT videos, and they were so good! I think I may even watch the whole series again. I was waiting for you to ask her about the AT and if she has considered doing that trail. I guess I can surmise by her not bringing it up that she has little interest in it. I wonder why? So much culture and community on the AT. I would think she would like that??? Did you all talk about that off camera?

    • @brianmo180
      @brianmo180 Před 3 měsíci +1

      When I hiked the AT, I met only two people who had done the PCT previously. When I hiked the PCT, it seemed as if 1 out of 4 people had already done the AT. The reason is obvious to me. The AT is 90% work, 10% views. The PCT is 10% work, 90% views. It's really difficult to go from sweeping grand landscape views all day every day to just trees all day every day, with more climbing to boot.

    Kyle, I totally relate. I get anxious when my B roll is in the wrong order. Lol I really am about a chronologically experience. Where I feel like it aligns OK with me is when it’s obvious. For example, CZcamsrs will say yesterday I did YZ and here’s the video. And then I’ll make like different commentaries throughout that video but it’s very clear that they’re kind of bouncing around to tell the story. I don’t know I’m a bit of a purist. Although I’ve don Ben, part of video projects that were all scripted based and so that chronological piece doesn’t matter at all then.
