5 Things I Learned From My First Thru-Hike

[@jawa134]

Great video - thanks for sharing. I live near Bath and have thought about walking the Cotswold way and wild camping. Some useful info here about camping locations and food/water supplies. Plus the mileage you tried was interesting too. Again I've wondered how much I could fit into a day. 15 miles sounds about right. I switched to hiking shoes a few years ago, aswell as other lightweight stuff. One thing you might like to try is a Mountain Marathon like the OMM - where you have to trim down your gear to the bear minimum. It's surprising just how little is required. I've take a lot of that over to general hiking.

I always have my camera gear at hand - Usually in the rucksack belt pocket. I carry a Sony compact, which is best for hiking. Ditch the DSLR - it's to big. Canon are good to. Any way, some good lessons learned. Have a great week. Mark

One tip would be to avoid orc packs in orchards and vineyards or you will be chased though this happened to me in 1776. I remember it well. As I entered the vineyard orcs followed me which led into being chased, I made it out though.

Yeah I need something like that, trying to find one that is wide enough for gimbal and can be secured so doesn't shake around
