do i have to scrape the wax off?

Only experienced hikers would find this funny, lol. I have a few stories.

When you lose feeling from the knee down for so long that the radio silence in your legs last 7 hours into your drive home

I have dealt with back pain for decades. Most of my back pain came from my job, I worked in field service and would spend hours a day driving. The sitting position was terrible for my spine. Like this man I was big into rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing etc. In 2018 I fell mountain biking and broke four transverse vertebrae. About six months later the pain in my ass and leg started. Better known as Sciatica. It was so bad I could barely walk and I could not sleep. What worked for me was getting three cortisone shots in my spine. The relief was almost instant. I then started a on line physical therapy program from a company called Sword. They give you a tablet and some sensors that can track your movements during your session. Each session takes about 18 minutes. This is how I start my day as I drink my coffee. I am more flexible than I was decades ago. My core strength was always very good since I have been a gym rat my entire life but my flexibility not so much. I am much older than both of you but everyone one my friends had dealt with this issue. I will be headed to Montana to ski Big Sky, I ski Killington weekly and I will be hiking the Colorado Trial the end of September with my dog. Life does not have to end. None of my doctors pushed for surgery. All of the doctors even the surgeons said that was last option. I with you both well and I am sure you will make a comeback. I think your guest had the right attitude. Make something positive and learn and listen to your body. Most people I know have issue with L4 L5 disc it’s very common. Take care

Thank you. People don’t often talk about how emotionally devastating it is to be injured and have to learn a new way of life and months/years of PT to do the things that brought such joy to your life again.

Hey Chad really enjoying this video. I’m researching to do it next summer. What were the dates you hiked this? Thanks for all the work it took to make this. Cheers Marmalade

If you skip the first 24 miles did you really complete the hike? Personally, I would say no. Just because a part of the trail is subpar doesn’t mean you get to skip it and still say you did it. Just my opinion.

I was at a campground where a lot of people ended the CT. The first 3 days I was camping it pissed down rain and hail storms with golf ball storms. The campers coming in were so so miserable. Wet for days not being able to dry out.

Great episode! I wish Emory's YT channel was more active :( He seems like a great dude.

Great video! What selfie stick are you using during the running clips?

That looks very intimidating and dangerous

You have to do videos based on popularity and relatablility most Americans aren't watching hiking videos cause most dont stay active. We are in the age of brainrot and doom scrolling. It would be great for you do something that more people can either learn from or be entertained by like nature survival video or travelling vlogs to popular cities like nyc, Toronto, Miami. See whats trending under these topics, watch videos with popular topics and make your own spin off it.

Yeah I've been so dissapointed by mountains, I bet I know what it looks like, I bet there ar just rocks stacked ontop some rocks

As a Mountain Dew climber, it’s easy for me to think of snow and just being soft and fluffy, but it’s probably a lot worse when your going fast cuz it still is literally ice, just in a weird form.

Does sharpening help to not catch an edge

You can just wash it with water and hang dry.

Really enjoyed this interview. Follow both parties and respect what you do in life. 👍🏻😊

I’m to scared of heights I could never…which sucks cause I want to but can’t 🤣🤣🤣

I was trying to remember when I fell in love with Altras. I think it was the Lone Peak 3. Fantastic shoes. Like you, I kept buying Altas even when the next pair came apart. I had bought four pairs of Cayds because they were better trail hikers than the last Altra hikers I bought, which were damaging my right big toe. They stopped making Cayds, so I'll never buy another pair of Altra shoes, because it looks like a big corporation bought out the original company, cut the quality, and cashed in on the name. Yesterday I ordered a pair of Lem's Primal 3's. Hope they are as good as Altra 3's were.

The $31.00 heavyweight style T4033 are incredibly tough. My husband is HARD on these socks. Washes them all 3x a week. I send them back when they get holes in the heel, for free. They provide the shipping label, there is no fee. Max 2 weeks later I have the code & they pay for free shipping. I just sent back like 6 pairs & received a $180.00 credit not including shipping, which is also covered. I'm confused why you had to pay & obv If you leave any socks in an air b&b you'd be beat. The heavyweight don't get overly hot because they're so breathable and the full cushion protects from blisters. Just go with them in the summer. My husband is perpetually hot and they don't bother him in a humid 100° shop mid summer. All other socks shred in less than a few months. It's actually amazing since 20ish yrs ago I know I didn't pay $30 for these socks but they credit you enough to cover the current price. I'm a fan!

Bought some while enlisted 8 years ago. Just got my first hole after hundreds of miles on them. Curious if your foot wear is causing premature wear

Hey man! What sunglasses do you like/recommend for alpine adventures? Thanks for all the videos 🤙

Climbing is odd: to me, an exposed rock wall at 5.7 or something, but fully harnessed and belayed with a 100-foot drop feels _way_ safer than scrambling on a knife ridge with a 2000-foot drop. But the wall is classed as "harder."

Try salomon

I guess I'm not a true hiker😢? I don't carry a watch or I can't afford a fancy one got any old ones that a brother can win or something from you? I love your videos btw I've done like half the wonderland trail. Rim to rim is in my bucket list! I totally live thru your videos. God bless and save travels my friend!

What's the logistics on transportation? I'm guessing you had someone waiting at the end or that dropped you off at the beginning?

You sound like what i would probably be. Bleep bleep bleep lol

Dude it literally doesn’t even take that lmao this video is DUMBBBB

Now make a video on how to extend the life of the humam skin

GOAT rocks. :)❤

I fill up gallon ziploc bags and lay them flat in the freezer. Works better than water bottle IMO

Fires on the JMT proper are very rare. the sierra foothills go up in flames every year, some years worse than others. Storms in the sierra are not uncommon but you can get a good week of isolated t-storms everyday. I highly recommend being fit for the JMT, and doing at least 15miles a day, food carries are tough. Did the JMT in 2021 early august, smoke was not bad but present, no snow. Did PCT in 2024 started Sierra on May 28th, lots of snow, no smoke. Snow is fun though if you are prepared. 2024 was much more beautiful because of snow!

Welcome to the Wind River Range where it's uphill in both directions. One day in alpine was probably not enough training for this kind of route. But it served you well and should definitely help if you try it again.

me too, same experience with altra quality, its not there as before anymore, i found Topo instead, much more excellent quality

Keep it up

I’ve never scraped all the wax off. Ever! I’ve always left about 1/32- 1/16 of wax on my board and only have to do this 2 times a season. If you scrape all the wax off it completely defeats the purpose. wtf

This guy just hasn't found shoes that fit his feet well yet. This is very common, he is not alone. It's not the fault of the socks. Cheap socks even hold up when you have shoes that genuinely fit your feet.

what did u even do, i dont see anything different

Love it!! If people call you crazy you are doing something right!!!

Fun interview. Thank you

I just heard about this brand, so i checked out your video . I'd try a pair, but I'm seriously allergic to sheep's wool. Back to yak wool I go. Unfortunately, they're even more expensive, but they don't itch.

I take anywhere between 25,000-30,000 steps a day. My socks only wear out because of being washed..thin. My guess is you're getting them wet all the time and not drying them correctly and wearing them while wet so you are creating bad hot spots..overstretched areas...and the fibers are failing

They have a lifetime warranty. Who cares if they wear out?

With respect, is clothing perishable, in a manner of speaking? All shoes, socks, underwear, jackets, shirts and pants with usage over time will breakdown. So is it really a shock that an ultra lightweight to lightweight socks breaks down in high wear areas with hard usage? And then to complain about having to pay for $7 or $8 for postage to get a brand new pair of $22+ socks to replace the ones you’ve worn through? Seriously? If this happened within a few times of you wearing the socks, then fair enough, but it doesn’t seem like that in your video at all since you never stated it. Seems more like you’re just having a moan about it for no other reason than just to complain.

Three years is not a long time

Hardboot? I also have rando skis and boots, are there bindings so that I can use the same boots?

I really enjoyed using Altra Lone Peaks but durability is a major issue. Seriously the price is not worth it.

Chad whatever that hole is inside your right shoe has nothing to do with a shoe itself but with your hip or leg lenght being either one leg a bit longer or biomechanical movement has to do with it. Otherwise both shoes would be ruined exactly the same way inside. I would visit a physio profesional to check proper position of your legs, feet and hips and what your mobility is like. Nice review of the shoes thank you helped a Lot. I am an Altra user but I see many issues with quality. Lucky I am lightly build 130 pounds so does not effect me as much as heavier folks. I love to look online at older used and worn models just to be aware of different weakness in different models. I think many companys do not desire to truly build a super lasting shoe to last they compromise always on something to keep on sales after some reasonable period. After all they don’t live from shoe production but shoe sales right? If I buy from them every 5 years instead of every let say 1 or 2years what a difference on their revenue it has😮plus they need to constantly “ improve” and change materials cause other companies do around them so to stay in race and not to stay behind😂😂😂
