    I was out on the AT in the US this summer. Guy coming the other way had headphones on but he was singing to himself. He was all embarrassed when he saw me - I was heading south on a section of trail where SOBOs were extremely rare that time of year - but I thought that was cool. But later on that trip some Boy Scouts coming the other way were in full boom-box mode. Really annoying IMHO.

I didn't have any meaningful issues, and if I was scared about heights or animals I just took them out for a bit. Those ones don't plug your ears, so at a low volume I could still hear stuff around me. It's not rocket appliances 😅 please don't blast your boombox within earshot of others!

    I'm in the "get out there to enjoy nature" camp. I reckon if you're on your own and in a remote area, go for it. But when you're with a group or in an area where there's a few people, have a bit of consideration for others.

      It's not about whether i'm owed something or not. It's about why most of us go hiking, and that is to get away from human interaction and interference. To enjoy nature, something that is being restricted more and more, at least where i live. I don't want to go and drive hours to be made to listen to what i'm trying to avoid. It's got nothing to do with tolerance or being owed anything. You wanna hike to music? Go to the gym and walk on a treadmill!
      Your attitude displays to me the height of selfish arrogance. You think it's perfectly fine for one person to play their music at a volume that possibly many people can hear whether they like it or not, and they can just put up with it. Please come down to Australia and try and sell that attitude on the trails here!

    Thanks for these videos. Easy to learn from, easy to do. Free or reasonable options. Very much appreciate the straight talk about barefoot shoes and great tips about transitioning well to reduce injury and pain.
    I've been rejecting standard shoes since I developed a Morton's neuroma and researched what it was and what might have caused it. Saw x-rays of my feet and realized that my forefeet were distorted due to being placed in AA shoes as a child and continuing as an adult due to my AAAA heels. Now, I can't wear AA's and some B's are to narrow as I straighten and spread my toes. No Morton's neuroma anymore and no drop shoes with rectangular toe boxes with lots of wiggle room when I wear shoes at all.
    I did consult a foot specialist. First, a podiatry student entered to ask questions. She was wearing very pointed shoes with a 2-inch heels. I thought, "What you don't know about feet will keep you from helping your patients heal." Hopefully, the medical industry and the shoe industry will evolve sooner rather than later.

    I've rarely encountered loud music on my hikes. Which is a blessing. I use a bell on my pack most of the time. When I'm in more popular areas I put a silencer on it. It still rings but softer. Besides it tells the other hikers that I'm approaching so they usually let me pass without having to ask them.
    I use all trails for new trails. I hike solo most of the time so I find it an added safety. There is an instance where the trail was all scree with no markers so it was difficult to figure out the way. All trail kept me on my way.

  • @kristymoore7052
    @kristymoore7052 Рік тому +1

    I often backpack solo and that means if the trail is lightly traveled, whatever I listen to is broadcast, not loud. If there are people around, I will switch to ear buds, but if just passing, naw. I recall the look of horror and judgement for my seemingly inappropriate content on some hikers faces when I passed them listening to a civil war era book dialogue during a difficult scene. I just smiled. Priceless.

    Boomboxes shouldn't be allowed in hikes for the same reason that they shouldn't be allowed in public transit, or hospitals, or ... etc. Every place has its own charm, its own utility, its own "energy" (if I may say so). It's not about "people can't enjoy things differently". It's about when one person is imposing their way of enjoyment on others, and in fact, using their way of enjoying to disrupt and destroy the way others enjoy it. This is ESPECIALLY true for high altitude mountain hikes. In many (most?) regions in the world, these hikes are actually regarded as highly spiritual pilgrimages. If someone is traveling there as a boombox hiker, it's the same as blasting hip hop in the middle of any other spiritual place of worship. I experienced this (thankfully, only once) in India in 2018, while traveling to a place called Shrikhand Mahadev. The locals HATE such visitors (I know because they did not hold back their feelings as soon as the boomboxers were out or range).
    I mean ... how appealing or spiritually fulfilling do you think it would be for a person going to a Tibetan monastery 14,000 feet above sea level, if they are accompanied by AC/DC? And forget about any wildlife photography. Those ibex are now at least 5 miles away!!

    I went on an unmarked trail this summer and wasn't able to procure extremely detailed maps of the area, but my offline Gaia GPS satellite+elevation maps with the GPS track were absolutely perfect for navigating. I could hardly imagine trying to use a map and compass with how many course corrections I had to make on such uneven terrain. I think map and compass is great for exploring new territory, but not great for following someone else's route. Taking bearings and trying to walk a straight line to the next spot is not very useful in some environments.

    I'm deeply called out as a Boombox Runner. Using headphones while running in America is typically a death-wish if you're a city runner like me. If the noise of the cars isn't drowning out my music for everyone else then I speed up to pass them. But on a hike I just use bells or keys to jingle instead. It's less about the volume and more about making noise in general and bells carry really well. I didn't used to hike with bells until I lived in Alaska and really learned how dangerous trails can be. Bears, Moose, and Alaskans- hazards encountered on the trails lol.

Put the shoes back on and with this new technique never suffered the problem again.

I wish people would stop referencing Sapiens (paleo dieters too!) - its a lazy justification. Their bodies were not the same, they had no other options, etc etc. You have plenty of other content that supports barefoot in a responsible way. For those that are not lean, I suspect cushioning can be helpful short term support while working toward healthy goals.

    Nice Video! One thing about china: Sadly it's mostly not the craftsmanship, nor some other cultural aspect that lets almost every company produce there. It's because workers can be treated inhumanly, giving them an insanely low wages and ignoring workers rights as well as any environmental protections. This is the only way companies can compete with the general fast fashion industry and the totally unrealistic price expectations that we consumers have developed over the decades. So if you have the means, you should invest in something locally produced, even though these products are much more expensive (and have a better quality).

    Playing loud music in a public place when others are present is a form of narcissism. There is a time and a place for music in the outdoors though- I use a small hi-fidelity speaker in camp (minirig mini) when I'm wild camping in New Zealand. Always alone and far from other people, and usually chilled ambient music at a low enough volume not to drown out the nature sounds- I find it very relaxing and comforting.

They ranged for hundreds of kilometers and in the sections of park that didn’t actually wave good maps published. Even the maps from the local shops proved to be worse for planned routes. Each party had a phone, we all downloaded the needed maps, had an external battery pack, and a spare phone.
    Baring the purchase of a large screen GPS with downloads maps, there would have been no practice alternatives to using our phones.

    Blasting music from speakers is going to effect not only on other people but wildlife too. Most hikers I know are conscious of the 'leave no trace' mentality when it comes to trash etc. but noise is another form of pollution. It can affect movement patterns of wildlife and cause disturbance, especially on very popular/busy trails. I'm not saying people shouldn't listen to music, just be conscientious when choosing how to listen and at what volume. An obvious exception is using music/noise to warn off bears or other dangerous wildlife - but otherwise, just be respectful of other hikers and the local wildlife.

      ​@@jackpumkinhead9583 A single piece of trash on the trail is still considered pollution, even though it isn't as severe as an entire bag of trash because it still has potential to cause harm. People blasting loud music on the trail is not going to cause high-level noise pollution like in urban areas, but it is going to have a cumulative effect on local wildlife - especially on busy trails - and the louder the music the larger the area in which that disturbance has an impact. Like I said, i'm not trying to tell people not to listen to music. Just asking people to be considerate with their volume or how they listen with regards to wildlife and other people. Thankfully I think the vast majority of hikers already have that considerate mindset.

    I don't know man. It's a difficult one and sometimes I think we all just need to get along. But here's my own view. The great outdoors is for everyone. Its not any one persons personal space, and that's what causes the conflict. But surely, if its something that isn't yours alone shouldn't you preserve it and not pollute it for other people by playing loud music? If you want to listen to your music use headphones.... seriously. Not everyone in the vicinity likes your kind of music necessarily, and your removing their right not to hear it by using a boom box. So please... use headphones.... and if your worried about safety because your in an earthquake zone. Then maybe don't listen to music, and just listen to what's important.... like whats going on around you?

      I agree with that, and it’s something I thought about after watching his earlier video. The outdoors is for all of us.
      Don’t be disrespectful to the other people outdoors near you.

      your whole point is predicated on that you have a right to not hear anybody’s music, you don’t , that’s not a right you have , and your expectation of that is rooted in white supremacy and a colonizer mindset. you could alternatively just practice tolerance(not that that’s something white people are known for, maybe you should work on it)

      @@jackpumkinhead9583 Are you a troll? You sound like a troll. What is it you hate the most I wonder? That I'm exercising my freedom of speech? That I have an opinion? Or that I'm white? Forcing other people to listen to your music by playing it too loud is a breach of the peace. There are laws that protect it. So maybe you should do some research before talking garbage?

    Some marching songs in isiZulu (or "Shosholoza") are good options for me ^^".

    The subtext here is what we might call cultural dissonance, and it can be socio-economic, rural/urban, etc. And if you're gonna broach the topic you should lean into it beyond a "short.". If you have and I've missed the video my apologies. Where I am from in Latin America, people take a "paseo de olla" which translates to "trip with a cooking pot" basically. It is an escape to the river or lake or mountain for the laboring classes. It is a family affair. And the cookware, the lawn chairs, the MUSIC come with. Maybe that sparks interest in trail running in children who otherwise wouldn't be exposed. So how do we educate people on trail etiquette and appear welcoming and not like a trail snob with a "keep out" sign?

    What family are you talking about that were found dead!? The one in California last summer? Foothills of the Sierra- Dad Mom baby and dog?
    They weren’t found away from the trail, they were on the trail. But they’d all mysteriously died at different places on trail, including the dog. The sheriff and coroner eventually said they’d died of dehydration. But even still it was super weird and mysterious.
    But maybe you’re talking about another family…

Completely ruined the peace and quiet and was super distracting. Not everyone wants to listen to what you like. And a lot of people hike to escape the noise.

    A lot of my knee and tendon problems have disappeared or become seasonal since I went to zero drop shoes.

These don’t scream tourist, and they are surprisingly comfortable out of the box.

    Funny how dismissing and manipulative their excuses are: "these people can't enjoy things differently"... How they seem to conveniently omit that, too often, doing things differently means doing things in a dumb and stupid way. Idiocracy is here, and these are the idiots making it true. The "me, me, me" generation, who cares only for themselves and no one else. No worries, those are the first ones to fall at the slightest sign of trouble, and it's coming soon, we all will see them trying to eat their boom boxes and their stupid "music", then it's our time to laugh.
