Another great video! I agree with all of your apps. Thanks for the new websites I will need to check out.

[@OutsideChronicles]

Thanks Rob, it is amazing how many different tools we have available to us. The snow reports and Mountain Forecast are invaluable when heading to the Adirondacks. See you outside!

[@testpilot1us]

@OutsideChronicles that mountain forecast is the exact information I need for the trip out to steamboat springs.

[@OutsideChronicles]

@@testpilot1us nice, good timing!

Can I ask what you do use for navigation?

[@OutsideChronicles]

It really depends on the location. My usual process is to create a custom map with Caltopo and then import it to Avenza Maps for use offline. I have a video on how I do that at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZa0fYKijq-EeqM. That being said, I am using GaiaGPS more and more. I really like their basemaps and the user-friendly snapping. I am considering buying the subscription so I can have offline maps. Of course, I also recommend getting a paper map from the organization that maintains the trails. I also use a Garmin Instinct watch to track my hikes and some basic navigation. See you outside.

Never ever post your movements on social media. stalkers are a thing. this video is insincere and hazardous.
