Welcome to my UA-cam channel! I'm a right below knee amputee as of 1/23/2020. I'll be posting about my recovery from surgery, my adventures, and the things I find, see and do. Enjoy!

It's been way too long since my last update. Here's a quick update for now and I'll be posting more videos soon.
Mule Deer vs. Coyote

This was an interesting standoff between a lone coyote and a small herd of mule deer. I only filmed a small portion of an exchange that went on for about 10 minutes.

This footshell is much easier to take off and put on, which makes cleaning a lot easier.

I decided to get back into mountain biking again, after a LONG time away from the sport. I use my peg leg for riding as it is less cumbersome than a regular prosthetic foot. As time goes by and I get more comfortable, I'll be posting more about any modifications I make. Special thanks to Cranky's Bike Shop in Aldergrove for getting me set up!
Another Update- Crutches, Jeans & Pant Leg
Переглядів 60510 місяців тому
In this video I explain some changes we've made to my crutches, what sort of jeans work well with a prosthesis and how I secure my empty pant leg when I'm on crutches.

I need that k4
LBKA here... watch a lot of your videos and had a quick question... was wondering if this could be an everyday foot for me. Currently have a Rush Pro foot and not really happy with it and looking to upgrade.. what are your thoughts could this be an everyday foot or does it need to be a more dedicated activity sports foot... my prosthesis says it wouldnt but i don't really trust his judgement and want to make sure he is just isnt pushing stuff that he can make a good markup on.. thanks in advance
@tjtj2571 Yes. I now wear this every day, and it's been great. Getting the proper height and alignment took a bit of time, but once set up properly, it's great. Good luck!
@@monoped_adventures thanks for the fast reply and keep the videos coming I have learned a lot from your channel and its also great motivation to see someone with same injury back being active

We are redoing our bathroom and putting in a walk in shower. What’s your recommendation for bench, bars or anything else you’ed be willing to share? Thanks! Trying to stay one leg up while losing a leg.. ; )
Some good stuff to think about in this. At some point I’m getting my right leg amputated so I’m trying to stay one leg up 😊
Beautiful truck. Quick question, this is stock OEM TRD Pro wheels and suspension right? No other mods at all?
@@RHN88 All stock ride height and wheel offset. No mods.
My feet are far from good, but they are my own feet and I use them to drive. However, if I was an amputee, I would have had hand controls installed in my car, but I wouldn't trust prosthetic feet while operating a vehicle... Nevertheless, I see it can be done and I'm glad for this guy's abilities! 😊👍👍
Thank you fir the informative video
Keep going strong man🎉
I like it❤
I get ya bro. Since I got my stik a few years ago, I find myself motivated to climb, and hike more than ever! The desire to overcome is strong!!! 👊💪
Thanks for the great info. It's 2 years since my left BK amputation. For my first prostetic I was given a pin lock socket. Since my residual limb shrunk tremendously in 8 months, I was given a suction type socket. I like the snugness but don't like the reduced knee movement also the stretching pain I get on the top of my knee. With the suction I don't have that pistoning effect. I see you prefer the pin lock system. Does the pistoning effect bother you. I'm due for my third leg 2 months. Looking for feedback from users of the pin lock system so I can make an informed decision. Thank you in advance. Oh yes, where can I get the zippered pants? Way cool.
@arviahouse I don't have any pistoning, but sometimes that can also be affected by limb shape. My socket seems to almost lock onto my stump's shape and my low ply sock thickness. The zippered pants are just regular Levi's that a family friend modified for me. Many dry cleaners can also do simple alterations like this.
Reason no rub is you have a TRD Pro and yes they trim the bumper and push the fender liner forward. Technically anyone without a Pro can do the same. There are templates for where to cut.
Oduševljena sam lindhe xtend connectom. Upravo takav mi treba za presvlačenje hlača. Želim ga nabaviti ❤
Hello, I am Surendra B.K from South-East Asia country Nepal. I am below knee right leg amputee using prosthesis leg. I want to enhance my mobility but these carbon foot, you are using and showing, are expensive for me. Could you help me to have used carbon foot so that I can use it and enhance my mobility.
I have no left leg and for some reason I have never been able to master this type of crutch. I stick with the underarm design and have taught myself to frequently use one which allows me a free hand.
Thank god i found this video
E is an extremely heavy duty tire for a 4runner, good and bad. Beautiful vehicle
So you tighten the rear grub screw to bring the toes downward and reverse to lift the toes higher and heel downwards??? Also at the same time working the opposite screw in the opposite direction??? Tighten one and loosen the opposite other?? Great video though 👍👍👍
Where did you have this made? I am above the knee amputee and have not been successful using the standard Prothesis. It’s been to heavy
My prosthetist, Award Prosthetics, made it for me.
@@monoped_adventureswhere are they located?
@@doracollins7 Burnaby, Canada
@@monoped_adventuresoh well TY
Im doing this this summer. How long does the drive up take if i can ask?
I went really slow to enjoy the ride and it took about 90 minutes up
You are the best teacher on prosthetic leg thanks and God bless you
Just got one this week after 8 years of Rush Hi-Pros. We'll see how it goes...
I am 4 months in with crps amputee. Thank goodness, my DRG stimulator is carrying me thru.
Five days ago a relative had the left fot/leg cut about 30cm below the knee. She´s just had her 80´s birthday - but I really want her to get the best prosthetic leg/fot available. Sure. Was a while since she climbed mountains and run marathons, but I belive that she would prefer the benefits of a lighter, more agile, and more dampend foot. Sweden. Not sure how the authorities rule about the cost´s.. Perhaps she´ll get a wooden leg :/
the giant was standing where ur truck is .....45 ft tall.....look on Google maps
Excellent walk sir unbelievable
Great !!!
I'm glad you're doing well. Great to see you here. I'm still teaching, playing music and was playing tennis with the great All Pro XTS foot. A few weeks ago, out of the blue, my wrist started hurting and my hand got swollen. Had an X Ray. Nothing. I do have periodic pain in my wrist. It's better but still not right in one spot so no tennis yet.
❤❤❤
I just got a 2024 ORP. I also have a BTK amputation of my right foot. I drive with my left foot same as I have seen you do. The 4Runner is a tight fit for my prosthetic. I’m tall so it’s clumsy to say the least. I only have about 4500 miles on my truck. The KO2s are my next tire I believe. Thanks for your advice. I’m just over one year with the amputation. It’s tough at times.
Do you know how does this foot compare to the Ossur Proflex Xc Torsion|?
They are similar, and both are excellent choices as they are both rated as a K3/K4 level foot.
Thanks for the info.. glad you made the video, so I didn't ask this question in a forum and watch it blow up.
Thanks for watching!
Just curious…I have been using the Allpro for 4 years now, but am getting a new one and switching to the xts. Just wondering if you know a comparison between the two to know if there’s much of a difference. I’ve tried other feet with a rotation function and they really didn’t have a rotation function. BKA here and was a pro athlete and had my knee reconstructed long before losing my leg. I’d love a rotation function to prolong my knee health.
You don't really notice any rotation, but the slight absorption of rotational impact really reduces load thru my knee joint. Maybe a better way of describing it is that it feels smooth on rough terrain and high impact?
Can you do a 5k in this??
Absolutely!
This is what I'm tryin to figure out
Where did you find the zipper leg pants
I had a family friend sew the zipper in them.
Bro a bear is wild
Thanks for all that great information brother you are helping lots of peoples with legs problems you been through lots I see in this video hang in there keep doing what you love from brother from Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Hello could you post more info on the adaptskin 50 I’m having issues finding it in Europe
Brazil very expensive
I’m a disabled vet 4 surgeries on right ankle last one totol fusion,, my lower leg painful all the time and shorter, thinking on amputation,, so I’m very active and also hunt do you think I would have a better quality of life ? I don’t want to spend a lot of time inactive ?
So in other words you have about 10 inches of ground clearance?
Correct, but if I air down, then I'm pretty much back at stock ground clearance of 9.6
Thank you for speaking to the weight of the tires. 👍
Hi there, i am about to put the same tires and wheels on my 2019 4runner 5rs, any problem so far?
This guy is so cool
Any updates on the tires?
They're holding up really well, with no wobble or balance issues at higher speeds. My only complaint is that they don't seem to flex as much as radials, but I haven't lowered the pressure in them at all either. I'll try them a 4 PSI and see how they react. So far, they're great.
@@monoped_adventures cool I just bought some for my rzr got 8 ply big horn's suck!!
Thanks for this video! I'm looking to replace ,my current foot with the Filauer All Pro and I noticed that you got the XTS model which has a pivot at the ankle. This only adds to the weight of a perfectly designed foot, in the function of a "normal" human foot the pivot is accomplished from the hip down to the femur and then to the foot, the foot pivots on the ball of the foot, if you pivot on the ankle, you will have a dislocated ankle. Going back to the weight, the All pro is 450 g vs the XTS which is 780 g! Sorry for my medical soapbox, I still appreciate your perfectly lucid explanations on prosthetic hardware.
Picked it up today. It's amazing with the blue bumper in it. I have no issue walking in it. I can't wait until spring to get on the tennis court with it.@@monoped_adventures
