- Age has nothing to do with determining your ability to hike or not, but your health does! In this video, I show how different medical conditions affect your ability to hike.

In 1996 I had a stroke that left the left side of my body a dead piece of meat. I spent the night in prayer. The next morning, I could move the toes on my left foot. I went to the head of neurology. They couldn't discovery why I could move any of my left side. Today I am 90% recovered and am in training to do a thru hike of the PCT. I am 85 and steadily improving.
Wow. Congratulations. You are definitely an inspiration to me and many others.😁
You're 85, had a stroke years ago, and are planning on a thru hike of more than 2,800 miles? Color me impressed! I guess I'll have to stop "carrying my fears". They don't weigh anything in ounces but can be a big drag on one's dreams.
Im 65 and have been in constant Afib for 5 years. I completed the North Lake to South Lake Loop two summers ago. 53 miles in 4 days. Felt great the whole time.
Don't let the fear keep you back
Fear is a Liar - Zach Williams song!!!!
So true Peter. 😁
Heredity loads the gun, but diet pulls the trigger. A no-oil whole food plant-based diet can reverse high blood pressure and even reverse some artery blockage. In places in the world where people eat a diet mostly like this, heart attacks are almost nonexistent. I have been on such a diet for 6 years after having a heart attack and have reversed my angina (and eliminated my obesity). This is backed up with medical studies. For more information look up Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn videos on CZcams. Also, troponin is the protein that spikes in your blood after you have a heart attack. It happens because, in a heart attack, a part of your heart muscle is breaking down/dying from not getting enough blood. Troponin normally resides in your muscles but leaks out when they are dying.
Nice one!...🙂
Thanks Carl. 😁
I have asthma. I can walk all day on flat ground but climbing stairs or up mountains I have to keep stopping to catch my breath. I just try to minimize uphill hikes. I love getting out in nature. Great to see you hiking
Thanks. Does an inhaler help you? 😁
It helps. I usually use it before I start a hike especially it I’m going uphill. But it’s something I just work around. I take hills slower than most.
Good for you. We all just have to work around our individual problems.😁
You always do a nice job on your videos… I’m living a carnivore lifestyle and it has really helped with inflammation in the body, I lost weight I didn’t have to lose but the absence of carbs and sugar and oxalate packed vegetables has really made such a difference in my performance in the woods, best of health to you all…
Thanks. I agree 100%. 😁
I am 68 yo female and went into Afib with a HR 160 two years ago, after hiking for several days in Moab, Utah. It was incredibly frightening. I work out with weights three days a week, walk no less than 3 miles per day and hike regularly. Never smoked, don’t drink, eat a balanced diet, keep a healthy weight, and pray daily. My cardiologist contributed the Afib to the inheritance factor. My grandmother, father, aunts, uncles, and brothers all had Afib. Now on blood thinners to avoid a stroke and meds for Afib. Since then have hiked the Picos in Spain, the Alps in Switzerland, and completed a walk relay.
Have followed you and appreciated your encouragement to keep hiking. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your prayers as I pray for you.
Thanks Mary. You’re very kind.
I know several people who have Afib and it will definitely affect your hiking. 😁
The Rev takes a licking and keeps on ticking! You're an inspiration! 🌻💛
BTW, good video. I’m 70, on blood thinner, low dose of HBP medication, and have coronary heard disease……plus dizziness occasionally 😂. I am 6’3 and weigh 184 lbs, so obesity isn’t an issue. Low carb /keto diet to reduce insulin resistance and plaquing in the heart. Saying all this to let you know God is Great and thought your presentation was very good.
Thanks Mike. Sounds like me and you are twins.😁
I have had type 1 diabetes for 54 years and I wear an insulin pump. The pump has been great and really helps but the thing that has saved me more than once has been friends who hike with me. I do some solo hiking and love it but I don’t do long hikes alone as it’s just to easy to have issues with no way to help myself. Rev you are inspiring.
Thanks. Yes, it’s probably best to hike with friends. I carry a location/SOS device in case I get in trouble. 😁
Thank you for this video. I am 60 and am just now considering hiking. I had a stint put in at age 53 for 99% blockage in the "widow maker" and have a sedentary job. At this point I am unprepared for strenuous hiking. This video has been an education in what I need to do to prepare and what I need to consider before jumping in to hiking. Thank you.
Just take it slow and gradually build up to where you want to be. Remember…it’s a marathon, not a sprint. 😁
I recently had an episode of afib on the trail. My heart rate stayed very low and I could not get enough air. Once I was off trail I went to a local er, my heart was back in rhythm but an ekg revealed I had had a heart attack sometime in the past. So far I’m doing great. Hiked 12 miles on the Pinhoti this past Monday and felt great.
Good for you Roger. 😁
Great video! Arthritis and my scoliosis as well as asthma affect my hiking. If I hike too long or don’t stretch well or do a real strenuous hike , I end up being in a lot of pain. I have to remind myself to stretch more often and I really need to be careful of what I eat. I need to get more weight off, too. I try to really work on core strength.
Have some kind of surgery like ACL or really any kind will keep you off the trail and takes patience to get back to normal. I have a Tshirt that says “The mountains are calling and I must go”. My husband reminds me that my shirt should say “The mountains are calling and I must be patient”. 😂
So true, so true. “Lord, grant me patience, but hurry.” 😁
Eczwma and asthma are fun when hiking, I have both of those. I have a massive first aid kit including steroidal and other creams, antihistamines and of course always my inhalers. It doesn't stop me - but it has stopped a few hikes when I didn't take those!
You’re right. Inhalers are a life saver. 😁
Great Video Rev with some good suggestions. You are an inspiration for all of us to get on the trail!
Looking forward to your adventures Mike. 😁
Always great to see you Rev!
Happy hiking!
Thanks Stephanie. 😁
Thanks for advice, Rev!
You’re quite welcome, Ruth.😁
Great video Rev
Thanks. 😁
Rev Always appreciate your advice! Keep on Keepin' on!
Thanks Jim. 😁
When an MD doesn’t know, it’s always hereditary! 😂 “God heals, and the doctor gets the fees.” Benjamin Franklin.
That’s the truth.😁
Rev, you mentioned the benefits of camelling up and also lack of electrolytes when sweated out and not replaced i.e. an electrolyte imbalance occurs. However, to much water intake through camelling up can be dangerous as it can cause water intoxication, also known as water poisoning, hyperhydration, overhydration, water toxemia or hyponatremia, which is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that can result when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside safe limits by excessive water intake. In other words, to much camelling up can dilute the electrolytes in the body to dangerously diluted level so that it can't function properly. Here's a link to Wikipedia on the subject: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication
Thanks. 😁
BP meds have big impact. I was on a day hike about 8 miles and had taken my BP meds and my blood pressure was too low. Combo of meds and dehydration. I was with my son and I had to stop about every 200 ft or so and rest I was ready to pass out and very weak. We went only half way. I learned from that to check my BP and stay hydrated.
So true. Same here. 😁
I really appreciate this one Rev. Your sharing of your experiences and talking about issues that can negatively affect our ability to hike is a benefit for everyone watching.
Thanks Charlie. I’m glad it was helpful. 😁
Hey thanks brother love it big guy
I was truly a “big guy” in the thumbnail. 😂
Thanks for sharing. My family has a history of heart issues. Trying to stay in shape.
Good for you, Rod.😁
Great job my friend! Well done!
Thanks. 😁
Good teaching video. I need the information. Thanks and GOD bless.
You’re welcome. 😁
good information, Rev. I'm glad you are doing well these days. ps I"m sorry about your dad.
Thanks. 😁
A couple of years ago I was abusing alcohol and experienced some very unpleasant vertigo when hiking. I became extremely afraid when hiking on pathways along vertical dropoffs, although those hiking paths were wide enough and safe. Eventually I stopped drinking, and the problem disappeared within weeks. I learned that this was due to a lack of vitamin B which is common when abusing alcohol.
Wow Daniel. That’s great. It’s hard enough to walk down a trail uninebriated . 😁
@@TheHikingRev I should have explained that I had this problem when being sober during the day. I used to drink in the evenings only. However, alcohol depleted me from vitamin B so badly, that I got malfunction of my balance sense and experienced vertigo when hiking in the absence of alcohol in my body. This disappeared rapidly after stopping drinking, and by replenishing with vitamin B, after advice from a doctor. It is also a good idea to supplement with vitamin B for people who cannot stop drinking.
@@danielduesentriebjunior I think I’m going to start taking vitamin B supplements.
I hope that you are not drinking too much of that good vine or beer, dear Rev. Just in case, it is a good idea to supplement with vitamin B. Alcohol abuse and associated lack of vitamin B may lead to Wernicke's syndrom, which is an irreversible form of dementia, a typical endpoint for alcoholics. One and one makes three, I believe I have it already!@@TheHikingRev
@@TheHikingRev Alright. Get a mix of B-vitamins (usually B1, B2, B6, B12) and take the recommended daily dosages. I lived in the US for a while some 15 years ago, and I remember that you could buy killer dosages without prescription at CVS (not possible in Europe). I do not recommend that. BTW, excess vitamin B (B2, I believe) will be passed through the body and turns urine to an unusual yellow. That's normal.
Hi thank you so much for your videos I always learn from them . I have psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia. Along with being over weight. Your insights are so valuable!! One thing I learned hiking the PCT with these conditions is one finds ways to push forward physically but one has to have a strong mentality. The memories I have from my hike will be ones I look back at when I am stuck in bed I am grateful to my body for working with me to accomplish my goal. One step at a time 😊 Rev you are always inspiration to me.
That is so true. It’s amazing that you only remember the good times on trail and forget the difficult. 😁
I learn so much listening to your videos. Thank you. I am aiming to start a week earlier than last time I attempted the Oregon section of the PCT this year. I bailed at Hyatt Lake Resort after only going 25 miles from Callahan's. It was so hot and so many things went wrong. Getting lost twice was no picnic. Onwards and forward to Bridge of the God's. You are such a blessing and encouragement to me, as an older hiker - 63 years. I hope to complete the entire PCT at some point. Again, thank you.
Nothing wrong with bailing and starting over. You’ll be better prepared to succeed this time. 😁
Thank you.
@@TheHikingRev
Amazingly stories!🙂🙏
Thanks. 😁
Stay well!
Thanks Thomas.😁
Yet another great video Rev. Much respect for sharing with us. As many of us older hikers deal with medical issues, you are an inspiration. I learned about secondary or collateral circulation way back in paramedic school. It's truly an amazing adaptation. Contact me sometime if you ever feel like going up Baden Powell in the spring or summer and wouldn't mind a companion for a few hours. Good day sir and God bless!
Man, I’d love to. I had to take the alternative route around Mt. Baden-Powell when I did the PCT. Way too much snow! 😁
Great to see a video from you, Rev. Hope life is treating you well. I can't hike, as I've mentioned before, but I know that diabetes can also affect a hike. You have to limit the junk food, yet at the same time, try to keep your blood sugar from dropping too low. Take care, stay safe. See you next video.
Thanks Judith. I appreciate you coming along with me in my videos.😁
Good to see you, Rev. These are some good things to consider. I deal with a progressive neurological condition that is starting to affect my balance. So, I have to be careful around drop-offs. It won't stop me from getting on trail, but it is something I have to be mindful of. Thank you, and Happy Hiking.
Be careful. Have you tried trekking poles?😁
@@TheHikingRev I use them
Hey Rev I've mentioned in previous comments I've had triple bypass but your story mirrors mine other than I have no family history to fall back on, I have a genetic heart condition. Thank you for sharing your experiences because mine have been very similar while hiking since. I believe I'll have a conversation with my cardiologist in regards to BP meds because I've since been put on thinners as a result of sleep apnea too. It was during this most recent discovery that my primary care doc and I were having a conversation about the fact that I hike solo and he asked what I would do if I had heart attack symptoms while on trail and quite honestly it made a light go on. I carry my Garmin Mini but we all know that's not something that is by far immediate attention to a life threatening condition. He suggested Nitro Glycerin might be wise. After 2 weeks of heart monitoring, and a stress echo my cardiologist now understanding what I do stated yes I should carry Nitro. Just food for thought and again thank you for sharing.
I forgot to mention in my video that I also carry nitroglycerin tablets.😁
Re: Obesity. Agreed! In PCT 08 at age 58, I started at Campo with 230 lbs on a 5' 10" frame. It wasn't weight that torpedoed my hike 2 months later. However, if I dare try again in 2025 at 230 lbs, carrying that weight will be a recipe for early discouragement, injury or worse. For myself, get to 200 lbs or don't bother. GK
That is so true Grampa. You really helped me with your advice. 😁
Super insight Rev on your story of your heart temp fixing itself from the PCT. Sounds like what happened to the Grinch Who Stole Christmas :)
😂😂😂
Great stuff Rev...Stay Healthy My Friend. Currently training for Mera Peak (21,250') in Nepal and will be 72 years young. As I say...One Foot In Front of The Other. YOU Da' Man Rev.
Thanks Fred. Please be careful. 😳
Each of us have our own approaches to staying healthy. When at home I monitor my blood pressure daily. I also carry an Inreach Mini with me when out and about. I live out of town and cell service is spotty but the inreach guarantees that I can reach emergency responders provide I can see the sky. It is peace of mind to me and my family.
I use my Garmin InReach Mini on all of my trips. Gives a great peace of mind. 😁
Weight control is probably the #1 thing a person can do to lower base weight and have a successful hike.
That is so true.😁
Create a "Hikeage Approach (HA)" is my way of framing what you shared. There are "braodly" eight mechanisms of injury/illness. Whatever presents first is seldom the chief complaint. E.g., Stub your toe on a hot day maybe a reflection of heat exhaustion and dehydration. While your screaming about the toe check why you stubbed your toe ))smiles Another great video Rev! TU!
That’s so true. 😁
Excellent video and subject. Sadly our hikes had to be altered last Fall when my (91) yr old husband’s Afib started acting up (on hills) and he started falling. His doctor didn’t want to put him on blood thinners or other so now we walk on flat trails going a bit slower and not as far. But at least we are still getting out there every day. I got vertigo for the first time in Nov 2022 (on my birthday no less). It was awful. I haven’t had another episode since but it worries me. Even tho it’s not life threatening it can be very debilitating. As we go into warmer weather (here in the PNW) heat stroke and dehydration are a real concern. I’m 70 and for the last few years have kept myself at my ideal weight by doing Intermittent fasting- it works for me!! Aging is the pits but if we stay active it can keep us out of the hospital! I hope you have some upcoming hiking adventures coming up?
It’s great you’re able to get out there. Just take it easy. I’m going to leave a link to a “Vertigo treatment.” czcams.com/video/9SLm76jQg3g/video.htmlsi=Y6Hq9c0-goyfQ98i
You’re right…it’s tough getting old. It’s certainly not for sissies. 😂
@@TheHikingRev thank you. I tried doing the maneuver when I had mine but difficult to know if you’re doing it right if alone
I like your self critical remarks about obesity. I have some unnecessary ballast as well. I should get rid of that before this summer.
It is a CONSTANT battle. Only the vigilant will be victorious. 😁
@@TheHikingRev Agree fully!
Hi Rev, It's your greatest Cheerleader.... I think you called me that once from one of my comments! I'm now 64 years old, Type II Diabetic and "obese" and I didn't take offense to your obese comment, I'm a work in progress!!!! By the way this paramedic would like to let you know, Blood Thinners thin Blood, Aspirin doesn't, It makes it slippery. (not sticky) All of your advice was on point, and the Stop Bleed powder and a basic small first aid kit is a great thing to have with you! Take care Rev, God Bless you!
Thanks Stephen. I meant to mention Diabetes. It does affect hiking and backpacking.
BTW…I’m glad to know I’ve got slippery blood. 😂
I am 72 and experienced a little known eye condition while hiking on the CDT in 2018. I learned that posterior vitreous detachment happens to almost everyone as they get older. About 15% can have potential retinal tearing. I had to quit the trail and go home to stabilize it. Symptoms: flashing lights when moving the eyeball. Scary!
Whoa…that’s scary! 😁
Bless God! I recall you discussing that, your heart muscle generating a secondary circulation. My CBT coach is very big on aerobic and cardiovascular exercise. I'm seventy one now and have been running since 2006 when I was 275 lbs when I started. I have enough undergrad biology to see that this is probably true. So I keep at it. I'm on a mild BP pill and diabetes med myself and can't run a sub 6min kilometre any longer. Your story has me wondering.
Go for it! 😁
I had major open literally heart surgery January 18th 2023. Maybe I'm behind but I took my first trip to the local Food Lion today walking a 3.mile hike up to the store. I had a 33 liter osprey pack I filled to overflowing and carried it back to my home without collapsing. Surprised that a 28 pound pack could weight so much, but I'm trying to get ready for a summer AT sectional and have to start some where..
That’s a great place to start. Good luck on your hike. 😁
I walk 4.5+ miles a day at least 5 times a week. I have incorporated trekking poles. The upper body movement seems to help exercise the upper body.
So true.😁
you're amazing
Thank you.😁
The problem I have encountered is with my feet. Never took any care of them until in my sixties they would start to play up badly. Did a 20 mile hike one day and the next I couldn't hobble 35 yards. It was embarrassing to be fit and so disabled. What I have done is to wear good hiking shoes and boots, and have also been taking gout medication, as that might be a factor (although I am in the process of tapering off that). This has worked well for the past couple of years for me.
I am developing metatasalgia in one foot-- am now using a metatarsal pad and doing foot exercises. Need to lose some weight. Never had any foot problems before.
Watch your bio marker, 3 years ago every time I go for hiking I always felt short of breath and cramps on my legs all the time. I was overweight. I changed my diet and lost 50 LBs and now no more shortness of breath and no more crump. I went for ultra scan heart and carotid then stress test, they found nothing👍👍👍👍 diet worked👍👍👍
Good for you. That sounds great.😁
54 year old backpacker here, trail named "Charles Dickens" during the GSMNP section of the AT. Medical condition almost never talked about specific to backpackers and hikers is Epilepsy. I was Dx with Epilepsy in 1991. I've got suggestions if you'd like to hear them if you reply below. Please keep in mind, I am not a Neurologist or Epileptologist, but just willing to help with advice on how I get in the miles, seizure-free.
Wow…thanks for your insight into this condition. Yes please leave in the comments below. 😁
Good comments and advice - especially the obesity part. 🙄
It’s a constant battle. 😁
I'm about thirty pounds overweight Rev, but I am working on it.
Good for you, George. A little bit at a time is better than a whole lot at once.😁
Ugh... I had vertigo for a year and a half non-stop! It was horrible! I constantly felt nauseated 🤢 I was also not allowed to drive because I couldn't see straight. Then it went away. I have since discovered that some foods trigger it, so I avoid those foods like the plague!
I also have celiac disease, and that really affects a hike! Particularly long-distance hikes, because gluten-free backpacking food is not as readily available, plus the other food issues I have makes it even harder to find food I can eat. And afford! 🤪 If I were to eat any of those foods, Particularly gluten, I'd be sick for a couple of months, so "cheating" on that is not an option!
I did Atkins as well! It's how I discovered I have celiac. It saved my life. 😊
Amen on the Atkins/Keto/LoCarb diet. 😁
Also i am strictly obses -not massively so, but am hiking long miles now so hoping that comes down. I don't seen it as a surprising thing it was in this video - you can be very healthy ad be obses, but yes it always affects your hike, even just cos you're lugging more weight!
When I weighed 280 lbs. it was hard on my heart and lungs. 😁
I too want to build the secondary collateral circulation around the heart so I guess I have to hike the PCT.. Who knows, maybe it will save my life just like it saved yours....
Perhaps.😁
amen the best way to get rid of the tick attached to your gut is movement
So true! 😁
Great vlog Rev, you covered some things that do not immediately spring to mind.
You still hike alone, do you ever worry that you cannot get to emergency services quickly enough should something happen? Do you carry a satellite phone for this eventuality, or is there always mobile data available?
I always carry my Garmin InReach Mini. There is an SOS button on it in case of an emergency. a.co/d/iQWpdWB
@@TheHikingRev great thank you
I had a similar heart ‘attack’ on a day hike and didn’t realise it, I was tired ,it was a hot day and had mild indigestion. 9 months later I had a stent inserted into a 90% blocked artery in my heart
Wow…that’s great that they caught it. 😁
I am leaving for the pct in less than15 days.they-hiking.I have a full metal jacket in my right aorta.I’m on berlinta the.the whole list of course,though I’m also typing 3 diabetic and have from previous time of a stroke and heart attack I have 4 aneurism’s in my brain in-operable. Any advice I can get is welcome.
Just take it easy. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. 😁
What about sleep apnea? There’s two different types obstructive and central. I’m skinny and have central. It’s when your brain just tells your respiratory system to stop breathing so basically almost have to have a CPap/respirator. Any ideas would be great. Thank you.
I have heard of people bring portable CPap machines with them on trail. You’ll have to do some research. 😁
Re: "Doctor". Got to love the Brits (and maybe in other countries' educational systems), the moniker 'doctor' is reserved only for those who have earned a PhD. Indeed, becoming a physician is deemed a masters (or bachelors) level degree (MBBS, MB ChB). I actually agree with that since we in the West have elevated Doctor of Medicine to the heights of god status with it's attendant riches at the expense of other doctoral pursuits deemed less robust. Ironically, I don't think that's healthy lol! So, Dr. Rev PhD (or D Min) another good video. GK
Thanks Grampa. You are so right. 😁
How much water should you take on a 7 mile hike in Glacier National Park in July-Aug.
On hot days, I figure one liter for every 4 miles. 😁
A am just now getting back to hiking. I also have arthritis and a bad back. I purchased a back brace. I am going to try that. At the moment I can hardly carry anything without having pain. I am worried about how I am going to carry water bottles if I start going on long hikes. Do you have any suggestions?
When my back starts bothering me, I take some ibuprofen. 😁
@@TheHikingRev Thank you for your reply. Besides wearing a back brace and doing exercises that strengthen the muscles in my back, there is little else to do besides take ibuprofen.
just eat only plant-based and your risk of any of the heart and artery diseases -and cancer and diabetes- are waaaaaaay lower. And if you already have them, they will decrease so much you might be able to get rid of medication soon.
Agreed!🙂....
Thanks. 😁
I have asthma and it *really* affects my hiking. I am amso.obese, but I've literally tried everythi.g and it doesn't come off. It is endocrine/hormo al/DNA based weight.
Just do what you can do Laurel. 😁
I got Afib off trail in South California from dehydration. I was good on trail and then drank pop when I got off….don’t do this!
You are so right.😁
5 years ago I had "acute multiple PEs". I was given a 50/50 chance in ER. That stopped my hiking in its track. Excuse the pun! Medication knocked me about in many ways also. But what really knocked me about was my mental state. I gave up on so much of life. The body simply stopped working and much of that was caused by my state of mind. I lost a father and a son to heart conditions. A sister with a stroke. Doctors are often guessing. I don't know what the answer is. But you have to believe. Believe in something and not give up. I don't know if there is a God. But if there is believing in him is a good start. At 73 I'm not ready to meet God just yet so I'll believe in some sort of musical that will get me back on the trail again. Thanks Rev for the inspiration.
You’re welcome, Bruce. You’re right. Don’t ever give up. Just believe.😁
Lol type 2 diabetic.lmao
Yes. I meant to mention Diabetes. Sorry. 😁
Weight has nothing to do with your thru hike. You will lose it. And fasting is not good for your heart. Have a friend who is 5'6" and Weight 194. And finish CDT!!! If you are not a doctor, you shouldn't give medical advice. On YT.
Apparently you didn’t listen to the video. 😁
I have many friends who had heart issues after having taken C19 jabs. I wonder if you took any prior to your heart attack?
Covid-19 infection has seven times higher relative risk for myocarditis than the "jab", but I don't link the peer reviewed studies because you have already decided to "believe" otherwise.
I was wondering the same thing. There’s too much correlation between C19 jabs and heart problems.🤔
Heriterty problems suck 😅 healthy eating didn't save my gallbladder.
Obesity definitely is a struggle. Great information in this video.....and views! 🏞⛰
Thanks. It’s a constant battle to stay fit.😁
My biggest challenge to getting out there, is how to power a full sized bi-pap machine. I can't afford a portable one yet.
That can definitely be a challenge. 😁
