How to train for a long hike? What is a good healthy option for food on trail or at camp? How to prepare for elevation sickness? - Розваги
I like the content typically. This is a departure. As a research scientist, I’ll say this coach seems to have a lot opinions that aren’t well substantiated. Drink water, eat sufficient calories, and stay warm. You’ll be fine, and if you’re not it won’t have been because you didn’t add calcium to your water. (Yes, electrolytes are important. You’ll get them from your food.)
I agree! I know people who train/compete in triathlons that drink a coke while they are competing and drink salt rich liquids after
Agreed. Big fan of Dan, but this comes off a little quackish. Polyester wrecks your hormones? I’m skeptical.
Agreed @Jesse Roberts. I won’t go into my background, but there are some odd things mentioned. The concept of being mindful of what you are putting into your body is very sound and the simple fact of paying attention to what you are consuming helps tremendously. Sadly, thru hikers don’t have many good options on trail. This discussion doesn’t give those folks much to work with.
Living at 7000 feet, I did have a chuckle about the whole hematocrit level discussion after giving blood.
Yeah, this guy is all over the place with “health” theories…..
@@mtoenjes82There have been many studies that show this being true.
FWIW that kid at you local planet fitness/LA fitness/ (or any other big box gym) also took the 1-2 week course to get NASM ACE certification. I am not an education snob, buy these are not respectable credentials.
Im certified and have 2 doctorates. Throw this whole video away lol
So many wrong things…. To pick one, donating blood to avoid altitude sickness is completely backwards (unless you are saving the banked blood and doping which is also a horrible idea for other reasons). After donating blood, it can take 4-6 weeks to fully replace all the red blood cells you donated. Yes, red blood cell production goes way up because when your cell counts are low, your Epo increases to replace the red blood cells. So it speeds up *until* you get back to your baseline, not more. This is not the same thing as having more red cells.
^^^ this
Dude. This whole video was trash
Some spa interventions like a shot of saline might not be bad, if you are checking out the finge wierd things, but I think blood letting is kinda on the adverse archaic end of the spectrum. Also, note dude did not provide standard (higher) altitude mountaineering advice. Standard. baseline standard.
you take time to think , that maybe just maybe , if you are at 10 000 feet and NOT sea level bone marrow will CONTINUE it's over production of red blood cells ,,,,, you didnt , did you. why would it go back to baseline if you are at 10 k feet do TELL me please.
Sorry, but this guy is mixing general common sense advice with quackery. Salt is salt; it's NaCl regardless of whether it's located in a homemade salad dressing or a piece of processed food. And define "processed." What level of processing is considered "processed." He didn't specify. Cooking is processing. And he's on the "wheat is bad" bandwagon which is not supported by the research. He needs to be careful with blanket recommendations for everyone (i.e. shoes) because he isn't a physician or a physical therapist or a licensed nutritionist and his recommendations could royaly screw someone up. And the claim about polyester affecting male fertility: that's based on studies of dogs. He basically has "certificate" training which is pay a fee, watch some videos, take some quizzes and get a certificate. Sorry, Dan, but this was at least 50% nonsense. Oh, and I'm a PhD Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nutritionist.
Yeah this is big yikes from me
The "you need pure salt not refined" had me scratching my head.
@@SantosAl exactly.
Lots of quacking here for sure.
That’s why I eat raw, or dry aged or very minimal heating of my meats. Tastes great and I’m not killing all the beneficial enzymes and good bacterium.
Tried watching. I just can't.
A lot of what what was said here should have been prefaced with "first, you should consult with a MD." Him hating on MSG and suggesting that you should just eat pure salt early on really set the tone for the rest of the unsubstantiated opinions he has.
There was a disclaimer in the beginning of the video that clearly stated what you suggested that you should consult with a doctor.
@@autumnwishes8364 I wasn't clear, I meant before each individual unsubstantiated claim.
There are a ton of people who have some sort of reaction to MSG.
@@Ruizg559 and peanuts, certain berries, or grains, but the general public shouldn't intentionally avoid them because a small subset react poorly to them.
Except there's a disclaimer at 23 seconds in, his comments about a lot of the food are accurate and substantiated by current research. If you want to lean more, I'd suggest a book called Fiber Fueled written by a gastroenterologist and meticulously researched.
I won't beat a dead horse, but I'm not a fan of this guy and his health opinions, down to the type of shoe you should or shouldn't wear. Love your channel and your passion for the outdoors though, Dan! One video won't change how I feel about that. 👍🏻
Dan, really disappointed in this video. This person is not qualified to give nutrition advice. You should be talking to a registered dietitian with an actual degree in the subject. Eating “clean” is not a thing…I could go on about many things he said that are just not backed by science. I have a Ph.D. In animal nutrition and biochemistry so not just making comments to be a hater. Just hope you will seek out better advice in the future. Take care.
I’d love to see this guy talk to a real doc
Sorry. I can eat anything. My stomach is a cement mixer. Mix it up. Sprinkle some MSG on top and as long as it’s delicious I’m good to go.
Not marmite though. I’m not a bloody monster.
I dehydrate meals I prepare at home and then freeze them in vacuum sealed bags till I go on a trip.
I absolutely agree I prepare all my meals I dehydrate what I can I can use small packages of tuna or salmon to add to the meal. Legumes, are big on my list you can cook them dehydrate them they're very light and a lot of energy. It just takes time and effort and I understand people who really don't want to go through that. But I suggest they do
Why dont you do a video like this with an RD?
Adrian‘s best advice was to take beer!
Makes me reminisce of those days I hiked couple hundred yards from where I lived going back into the woods behind local Church carrying a couple of 12 packs of cheap 7-Eleven beer. We sat around the homeless, encampment, fire pit, and really enjoyed ourselves. BSing the whole time.
I only listen to MEDICAL DOCTORS for this type of advice. Just me.
Dan would you ask your health coach to share with us the study that indicated that donating blood a few weeks prior to hiking at altitude helps prevent altitude sickness? That seems strange to me. I understand that after giving blood our body produces more blood cells, but my understanding is that it replaces what we lost rather than increasing total volume of blood cells.
Switching over to Whitin barefoot shoes for everyday and their barefoot trail runners about 4 years ago helped significantly with my foot and back pain.
Hey Dan, just want to say a massive THANK YOU! Getting into backpacking is not easy, with all the options and shiny cool gear out there. Of course, there is still a bit of trial-and-error to tune one's kit to personal preferences, but your channel alongside others already gives everyone a massive head start, allowing us beginners to avoid big mistakes when purchasing (most of the time quite expensive) gear. This is really making the process of getting into backpacking very enjoyable.
And all of the content for free, unbelievable!!
Thank you for that great video very helpful.
I'm not a fan of packed food. I like to cook my meals. I would have loved to hear which food is good for hiking. Thanks for the video, you csn always get some ideas
Hate to tell him, but.......MSG & Yeast Extract are 2 compketely different & separate things.
MSG (Monosodiumglutamate) is a flavor enhancer which is derived from Salt (Sodium).
Yeast Extract is exactly what it's name implies. There are 2 different brands found in stores. Vegimite, which is sold in Australia. And Marmite, which is sold here in the US.
It's been a while since I've bought Marmite. But as I recall, it's a good source of B vitamins & sodium. It's also a bit of an aquired taste. Some people don't like it cause it's very salty.
That was legitimately a crazy thing for him to say lol I’m glad someone else caught that
Thank you Dan great information
I have a questions about sleeping bags looking for a -- 10 rectangular
God's Blessings
Bro science holistic coach. Come on, man. You’re better than this.
Imagine limiting your hiking trips to 2 days because of food lol
Something to be aware of regarding shoes, the barefoot shoes are not for everyone and you need to work up to them. I agree about zero drop for most of the day to day wear. Zero drop meaning no lift in the heel, but rather flat from front to rear. And as we get older, some extra cushion is suggested. I happen to find the Lems brand a great compromise between comfort, zero drop, large toe box, and just enough support but not too much. I have a few legacy Keen shoes when they used to make good shoes for days when a little lift might be what's needed. Altra shoes are really nice as well, but everyone notes that they do wear quicky.
I tried the barefoot thing for years and it was terrible for my feet. Walking about barefoot makes my feet go numb, so some padding and support is necessary for me.
Dehydrated food work great. You make your own homemade meals then Dehydrate, vacuum pack and off you go! Does take time and preparation but it's good quality food that is WAY cheaper and better for you.
LOL I just said the same thing before I saw your comment
Home made Dehydrated venison chili is so good on the trail!
Oh God, one more health "expert"...
Food is a problem for me due to allergy.
I am deathly allergic to preservatives E 202 & 211 it is in almost all food that is ready cooked here in Sweden
Then I'm allergic to certain sweeteners they make so I can't breathe.
And Red dye in nature & in spices.
So I freeze-dry my own food.
Dan I try to watch all the videos you have and have found them very educational on hike camping and I’m very new to this I have a lot of questions. But one very important one is could you do a video with your thoughts and gear choice’s for youth 12 years and up me and my daughter live in East Tennessee and she is part of the bsa and she is in a all girl troop and we will in the next year be doing hike camping and she is super excited and I really don’t want her to be miserable between the pack weight and sleep system we are trying to teach all the girls on packing light but bsa camps are not even close to what we are fixing to get into hike camping. She is 13 and heights right at 120 pounds. I enjoy your content and your opinion and all your expenses and I try to tell people about your channel any chance I can. Thank you
You would not believe what walking backwards up a hill will do for your knees, I tried it and wow it made a huge difference in getting my knees stronger. If you don't have any hills then fix up some kind of weighted sled that you can pull around in your backyard.
Yep! I don’t have good hills or space around me for a sled but I walk trails at the park backwards. I probably look kinda weird but it’s helped! Also switching to barefoot shoes. Check out knees over toes guy
@@shaggyterrell8460 Been hearing and seeing a lot on the barefoot shoes thanks for mentioning gonna have to try them.
I can understand the food issue, and my diet is most likely unhealthy, but the problem with footwear is I’ve had multiple breaks of my ankles, leading to weak ankles. Also, I’ve had eight surgeries since 2012. Two on my right foot, which I’m still having stabilization issues. My foot tends to cant to the right. Then I’ve had four surgeries on my right knee. A complete knee replacement and three on my kneecap, resulting in the complete removal of the kneecap. Then, moving up, I’ve had two repairs of the gluteus muscle to close tears. Finally, and the one which I’m still recovering from, is spinal fusion at L3-L4, plus trimming a minor herniation at L5. So, other than falling apart, what brand of shoes would help me? I refuse to lay down and die, so there must be something that allows me to get back on trail.
Larry from Texas
Hi Larry, those issues are far more significant than anyone here could really answer. You should really get your doctor to refer you to a podiatrist. I am *all* for you getting back out there and some physical therapy to get your strength back. But you might need custom shoes.
Lost me when he started hating on msg...
Yeah, it's an overstatement because "MSG" is naturally found in many healthy vegetables. And not all hydrolyzed yeast extract is bad. Marmite anyone?
Msg is awesome, it brings out the umami flavor profile!
Yup... ",No MSG" sounds like a boomer ordering from a Chinese restaurant. 😅
Yeah, anytime I hear this I know they don't keep up on the actual science and instead just listen to hype. Probably why he labels himself "wholistic" whatever that made up term is.
MSG is safe in general - some people have sensitivities. It is derived from kombu, so if you drink kombucha, you should be fine. Similar to peanuts, if you have peanut allergy, then avoid. You don’t deny people eating peanuts or peanut butter.
Wow, you need to put more disclaimers on this!
He mentioned people who don't have an arch need zero drop minimalist shoes. What about people with a super high arch? I usually put inserts in my hiking shoes that are molded to my foot to support my higher than average arch. Should I not be doing that?
Great info! What barefoot shoes are those?
I always take whiskey in the backcountry. Especially in the winter. It’s like a sweater that you wear on the inside.
Weeds lighter and lasts longer 😂
@@shaggyterrell8460 😂😂😂. I usually take that too. 😂. I just love the taste of a good smokey islay scotch.
@@shaggyterrell8460 weed won't dehydrate tf out of you either lol
I would love to nasal breath, but I have a deviated septum and it makes it really hard. Luckily while hiking, I tend to have a clear nose, but it's frustrating having to breathe through my mouth. Nasal strips are an option, but they look silly on trail lol.
Who won the giveaway from 2 videos ago?
Of course the nutrition part of this is just thrown out the window when your only resupply option is a Dollar General.
You Sir. Are a hiker 🤗
LMFAO! He had me at, "I take beer into the backcountry."
We often plan our trips around how we're gonna get booze out with us!
What you think of nutrition survival food?
Rucking(I didn't know what I did was called that) in the snow helped me lose a bunch of weight. It doesn't seem like it would be that much just walking a dog in the winter with a pack... but after 4 miles with a 30-50 lbs pack through the snow, you feel it the next day. This is the only thing that has ever worked for me, just head down and methodically grind the miles. As with most people, some things he said make sense, and some I just sort of ignore rather than get upset.
What brand where those White Shoes he had?
i pack light as i can until it comes to food. when out i will eat better than at home. helps me menatly so i will happily carry more weight for a good dinner lol
It's hard to avoid processed foods if you're living on a budget. You need fat if you're intensely hiking. Cheese is good. Keeps you warm aswell at night if you eat some before bed.
Stowaway Gourmet is amazing also.
I generally like your vids, but this one rates near the bottom. Some new age, self proclaimed “expert” spouting a lot of non-verified opinions. Waste of time.
I’m a fan and this is the first video I’ve ever commented on. This is not good information on the whole. Back away from the strip mall “health coach.”
I dehydrate my own meals from pure ingredients. Or make your own with tuna packets and carbs you have cooked and dehydrated for example. It's a project, but I am the only person who processes my food. Lots of ways to do this prep. Bonus: It costs a lot less. You can even make your own electrolyte powders.
this is all great info, thank you so much.
This reminded me I have asthma and should probably get a rescue inhaler before I go for any long hikes lol
I don’t know why people get so offensive when someone doesn’t follow their diet. Keto, Vegan, whatever.
What about Thrive Life dried foods?
Range Bars, Green Belly Bars, Noka fruit smoothie, Garden of life bars, and Ka’Chava powdered drink mix are tasty filling foods that are full of clean ingredients. They are high in calories containing needed nutrients, protein, carbs and fats. Also, a hiker does not need dehydrated foods. A 9oz package of Dinty Moore beef stew does not require heating or refrigeration. I tried it on a hike. Taste great and is filling. Same with an 8 oz can of Bushes Baked Beans. Eating unheated beans from the can is tasty. The body needs 3 times as much potassium as sodium. Too much sodium will raise blood pressure, increase thirst, cause headaches and swell hands and feet. Thus adding bodily stress. The much needed Potassium can be obtained from nuts, beans and fruits. According to the Red Cross, after donating blood, you plasma volume will recover within about 24 hours. However, the hemoglobin in your red blood cells-the protein that transfers oxygen from your lungs to your muscles-won’t return to normal levels for two to four weeks. Disagree with the blood donation theory.
Three years experience
Wow how amazing
Dial this off
Adrian has a lot of good points but we must recognize that not everyone's body is the same, and some of the advice given may not be good for everyone. I just hiked (for the first time) 30 miles of a section of the Appalachian Trail and humpback mountain. I've had a major knee surgery (complete knee reconstruction) and have moderate bone deterioration, and arthritis, and have had issues with it for 14 years. But I'm a health fanatic and pay attention to my body. I've realized that junk food (gmo's), sugary snacks, and a lot of acidic food causes the pain to flare up. I've also noticed that eating foods high in omega 3 fatty acids like fish decreases the pain and inflammation providing a cushion within my joints. I own a construction business building homes and noticed that heavy boots are not good when standing on my feet all day. So I bought a pair of Hoka's speedboat 5 gtx Trail running shoes with a 30 lb backpack all in as well as black diamond trekking poles for the hike and future hikes, and the combination of the three made the hike bearable for 3 days with a fraction of the pain I have in my work boots for 1 day. It certainly helps to eat the right foods weeks prior to the trip. Thanks for this video and keep up the great work Dan and Adrian. ❤
His perspective makes thru's difficult
Have you tried Fernweh food backpacking meals?
I can’t find this guys insta page
I agree! Fixing my gut health has significant improved my overall quality of life! Better sleep, good bowel movements, no bloating especially after a meal. Love the video great info
Sorry but the whole foot this this so limited in the info that it’s laughable. This is where people get really injured by using bare foot shoes. They have a place but to tell people that you should use them as a daily footwear without talking about the process is just wrong. If you go to the gym every day, all day, you will overload your body and you will get injured. Same with the foot. You have to train and build up slowly to be able use these shoes correctly. Living bare foot takes time. You can train your feet, they are no different to the rest of the body but “flat feet” (this is most likely over pronated) is something that could also be structural so you may never be able to correct it. Also “arch supports” are medically proven to help rebuild the arch by providing recover for a fatigued foot. There is plenty of medical evidence in this.
Also merino is often cleaned with lots of chemicals such as chlorine. It is also blended with nylon to give it structure and movement. You could use bamboo or rayon as an alternative.
There was not enough good info with context in this video and and pseudo science to give it validation. Sorry
Its pretty clear not a lot of the commenters have walked in the woods barefoot. Hes pretty spot on sodium and potassium leave the body in your sweat at a 4:1 ratio any cardio over 4 hours especially prolonged cardio like running or cycling you have the chance at dehydration. Fresh food the best way to get those like fruits n veggies most people dont eat fruits n veggies on trail. barefoot shoes can fix all kinds of foot issues I used to have so many and used to be flat footed I'm 270 lbs and my feet have a 6 pack on them. i hike with them, 10 mile days. Go try these things before you comment "ScIeNcE" Go ride a bike 50 miles in 4 hours with just water, yeah you'll live but not feel great. I had a friend who feel off a cliff and lived and felt horrible for a month. go climb 10k and eat when you get home that night, yeah you'll feel great! This video was about how to feel better not how to survive.
Well, that devolved quickly….
Eat healthy, eat specially sourced dehydrated foods, but actually …. eat candy bars and drink beer or whiskey because it doesn’t really matter…. 😬😒
The thing about processed foods, as long as you:
1) don't eat it at a caloric surplus without the added activity,
2) exercise regularly,
3) take you daily vitamins
4) don't suffer from any food intolerances
You'll have no issue with eating them. And since you should be doing this either way, no issue should pop up.
Learning to breathe through my nose saved my life, now I have to fix my gut issues 👍
I use stowaway gourmet meals there good
I don’t disagree with many of Adrian’s points, but his perspective is limited by his “certifications.” He is regurgitating factoids that push a particular agenda that is not scientifically well supported.
The reason you have a medical disclaimer at the beginning of this video is because he is dispensing medical opinion without having medical credentials. His opinions have validity but are anecdotal and aren’t supported by evidence based medicine.
It smart to get advice from others experiences but to rely on any information that is not scientifically peer reviewed is not recommended.
Adrian’s information should be taken with a healthy dose of existing scientific evidence.
Where in wiscaaaaaansin do you live?
Wow! The comments are all over the place on this video. I think you are on the right track by looking into diet and lifestyle changes to help with your health issues. I don’t think this coach is ready for prime time, but he is not completely off the mark. He needs to have a better understanding of the biochemistry behind some of the things he is talking about and needs to do some better research on others. I am glad you are having these conversations though, just make sure you get several opinions before moving forward.
MSG is perfectly fine to eat. It's a vegetable salt. Bunk science.
Great info. I use barefoot shoes for everything, including mountains. Both Xero and Merrell have barefoot shoes with good grips.
Which model of Merrell shoes do you use?
@@shawnago I use the Merrill Trail Gloves and Vapor Gloves. The new Vapor Gloves are very grippy.
@@dougg8280 thanks!
I’m team barefoot and wear minimalist hikers 😅 my calves and knees would kill me by the end of the day if I tried to hike in shoes that weren’t flexible since I live in barefoot shoes the rest of the time
"60% have ibs" sounds like a stretch. I've worked with it, and the figure ranges 10-15%. More women than men.
Average in the US is 5-10%, but you’re correct either way lol it’s NOT 60%
@@Drvirga Correct. As I understand the figures, let me preface my number. The distinction seems to be between those who have a formal diagnosis, and have actively gone through this clinical process, versus the estimated figures from scientific tests of the wider population. I suspect those tests are based on the Rome criteria.
"In the United States, it is thought that 10-15 percent of adults suffer from IBS symptoms. Yet, only 5 to 7 percent of adults have been diagnosed with the disease."

@@willek1335 great breakdown of the stats
Good change of pace video. I learned a lot.
You know less having listened to this guy. There are these people called dietitians who attended these things called schools over periods of what are called years in order to attain something known as degrees.
Great segment Dan. Thanks
Thx for the conversation. Lots of good topics to consider and explore.
Nutrient Survival?
Die hard Lone Peak with Superfeet insoles for a few years. I may be one of the few people who don’t have durability issues with them. I get about 500 trail miles before I need to replace them. That’s because the tread is gone; mild toe flap separation but never a full blown failure that they’re notorious for. Last winter I picked up a pair of mid Gore Tex Speedgoats on sale. I sized up to wear thicker wool socks for insulation. Hoka pavement runners are my daily driver for sneakers and I love them; most comfortable sneaker I’ve ever worn. So I figured I’d give the Goats a try. First 20 miles took some getting used to; big change from the zero drop. But once my body got used to them they’re giving Altra a run for their money. I have a fresh pair of Lone Peaks I’m using currently but I want to try some regular non Gore Tex Goat trail runners. I’m going to pick up a pair soon. I like the fact that my body is conditioned to two drastically different styles of shoes. One cosmetic thing I love about Hoka is the color selection. I’m a sucker for flashy vibrant colors!
Phew….Dan hired a health coach. 😅
I noticed you're looking more fit! 🙂
we would get along hes got the coffee mug out
Pinnacle is decent.. Gastrognome is best in the business though
AHHHH, I needed a Dan becker video
Based on his foot health opinions, we should all hike in flip flops so as not to become dependent on arch support. Got it!
Basically 😂😂😂
OK, that explains what he was talking about with the barefoot shoes. I had no idea he was talking about flip-flops. When I lived in Florida, you walked just about everywhere in flip-flops, but the beach is the best place to wear flip-flops in my opinion. Not on a hike.
Holistic does not have a 'w' in it.
🤣 Video was interrupted by a Taco Bell Nacho Fries ad. Hmm. Kefirs or Nacho Fries?
no disrespect but i recommend doing more research for yourself before listening to this guy.
Your friend has a ton of licenses except for one from a medical school
Why is he wearing headphones with a microphone, too..?
does this guy even go camping? this channel keeps getting recommended to me and he's at best in his back yard lol
While what you eat is important for gut health, new research shows you can alter gut bacteria with stress and negative thinking and conversely, improve gut health with CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). So making sure you prioritize family might just do as much for your gut as eating a specific diet. Just saying. It’s often overlooked. PS. You don’t need therapy to do CBT, lots of free stuff out there on it.
1st. And Hi Dan, Robens equipment will you review one of the chaser series tents?
I've been on keto for about 6 years. Some days or weeks its more like carnivore. I'm in southern Arizona so perishable food on trail is a big problem. So far, I've handled non-cooler camping/hiking with tuna and spam packets along with pecans and macadamia nuts. I can extend some fresh meat for about a day by bringing some hard frozen beef. I was thinking of adding corned beef cans, especially if there is a second person, since they are a little large for one person.
How would you rank the health quality of Spam vs Corned Beef?
Then I'll use radishes and celery as long as they last. I can probably make frozen green beans and broccoli last until the first night's meal.
Do you have any better suggestions for trail veggies?
I'm probably going to add peanuts for hard trail work. They have more carbs than the better keto nuts, but I suspect they release the carbs slower than most carb sources and my body should be able to consume the blood sugar without a big insulin spike if I'm working hard and eating peanuts slowly. I'm concerned that fat conversion has a limited caloric rate that won't meet some exercise rates.
Does eating peanuts during hiking sound like a good plan? Or is there another nut/legume that is a better/safer source of trail carbs?
I'm also considering something like German hunter sausages (smoked beef and pork for the trail) or something easier to find like Dukes Shorties (pork only) smoked sausages.
Are these preserved sausages better or worse than Spam? Do you know of any better preserved meats or criteria for choosing?
I also don't want to rely entirely on fat from nuts, so I'll bring some ghee and/or coconut oil for when I'm cooking.
If I have time in the morning, I'll go for a strong tea (pu-erh) with a little coconut oil and/or ghee and some dehydrated real cream.
Look at you! A backpacker who knows the science behind nutrition! I won’t add any unsolicited advice, but I’m impressed at your detail and specific questions! Everyone should read this
Mr. Dude's foot advise is well, obviously not a one size fits all topic, and kind of "stinky" for people like me who have abnormally flat feet. I fell for the zero shoes when their products first came out. The guy that created that company really believed that hiking barefoot was just the bees' knees, and everyone needs to do it. (Obviously, he's selling the shoes.) And just like this guy, they claimed that if you just walk barefoot or hiked in zero shoes, your body will fix itself, don't try it, bad advice. When it comes to footwear and foot care, we are all different. Other than that, thanks for sharing this video, more info is better than no info. Stay safe out there and keep on camping. ...... I like kimchi.
My food definitely didnt change, nor did my idea of how science works (hit, not like this) so many unsubstantiated and wrong statements in this video....
Loving the videos, keep it up man!
Mary janes outpost meals👍🏻
I wear barefoot boots when walking mountains and prefer it! So??
Dan really hoped for motivation to get healthier in the backcountry but now he is just gonna get wasted on the trails
Kefir is the best thing for your gut, but you should be making your own instead of buying the stuff at the grocery store. Not only is it more healthy, it only costs the milk it takes to make it. You just need a fine mesh strainer to filter out the grains so you can put them in another container with milk again for the next day, or cover the grains with a little milk and put them in the fridge for a few days. It tastes kinda like buttermilk when it's done, just a little thicker. The stuff grows too, so once it starts overfermenting your milk for the amount you want, you just take half of it and put it in the freezer and keep going with the other half. Kinda like sourdough starter
Is it me… or is dan beckers AirPod buried in his ear quite a bit ?😂
We hike 5 days in mountains and we only eat sardines in can and instant nodles plus rice we are very fine😂
Fire this health coach immediately, you would have gotten better health advice from a high school PE teacher. When he says 60% of people have IBS and a simple google search shows it is less then 15% fire him. If you want to learn how to loose weight talk to a bodybuilder if you want to learn how to get stronger talk to a power lifter if you want to get better at hiking go for long walks with a pack on. If your "coach" will lie to you about statistics fire them.
