Hiking for mental health

Hiking for mental health. More hikers quit multi day hikes because of mental problems, than physical problems. A band aid can often help or fix a physical problem, but mental health problems can't be fixed so easily.

Hi and welcome back to Hike and Seeker channel. Mental health is as important, if not more important than physical health on the trail. Most physical problems on the trail can be taken care of with a first aid kit. Mental health is a different problem altogether.
More hikers have quit because of mental health issues, than physical issues. It's often our thoughts that persuade us that we can't carry on. Exercising our mental toughness can often get us through this stage. Our thoughts can be changed into thinking it's possible to keep going. Coming out the other side stronger than we were.
Being on the trail can help with our thoughts. Nature has healing properties, if we allow ourselves to relax and go with the flow. It's far better to be in good mental health before you set out on your hike.
Some mental issues are made worse by being alone. Hiking in a group or with a partner allows you to talk out your problems. Combined with being out in nature, and a friendly shoulder to lean on.
Stay safe out there, be grateful to be able to hike. I will see you on the next episode!

Another great video. On short hikes I know well, I love to be in the moment but also to think about my life, friends and the lovely memories I have shared. Loved ones I no longer see and miss. I think on short hikes this is possible. It is a way I can gather my thoughts and be away from interruptions.

I agree with you, short hikes are different. When you are returning home the same day or after an overnight camp. Everyone is different of course, for me it's the extended hikes where I need more mental toughness.

Well said mate. Enjoy your summer. Bloody winter here.

I am enjoying the nice weather. It's been quite a long winter. Not as cold as your winter though. Thanks for the comment.
