Hiking For Beginners (Day Hike Gear)

[@Gowalkabout]

I know this is an older video, but your insight is still of great value. Thanks.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks for watching glad you found it helpful! We linked a lot of the items in the description below.👍👊

[@Gowalkabout]

@@AdventureEndeavor Ok. I'll take a look.

[@JoeyFatalii]

Also, keep in mind if you take a pet, can your pet handle walking as much as you guys. Especially if he’s a small dog. Four steps for him is one step for you. Does your pet wanna walk all day. Just because you do doesn’t mean they do or can.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

That's a great point.

[@countrygirl6794]

this is the first day hike gear that even talked about electrolytes .. that is one huge plus ... I always carry electrolytes and glucose tablets while hiking... even if I don't need them I might come across someone who does... Great video

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks for watching. Yeah electrolytes are huge! They are often forgotten. Safe travels!

[@markfletcher8084]

Good information, good quality video. Not too long, not too quick.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thank you Mark! We rely appreciate the great comment!

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

really good upload Adventure Endeavor. I killed that thumbs up on your video. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hey thanks for watching, we appreciate the kind comment!

[@loriw2661]

If that was a beginner hike, I’m screwed. Lmao!! I really enjoyed the video and I don’t hike. It made me want to though. 😀

[@AdventureEndeavor]

That's great to hear Lori! Hiking is great, this was a slightly advanced hike but the tips we're for beginners. Glad you enjoyed it, hopefully you get out there!

Thanks James! We're glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

[@billrichcreek7272]

Great video, one other thing I carry is a Garman inreach just in case. Of course I'm twice you ages..... LOL

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Garmin makes great stuff, my aunt actually works for them and we use to have them. We have just found with the newer GPS apps we can just save everything to our phones and it's fewer devices to charge.

[@josephttremblay]

Greg video! Saw this by accident and because of this, Im going to a hiking store and purchase some gear and go on a day hike. Just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to see more hiking and adventure videos.

Hey Jesse and Melissa...very well done video....nice use of scenery, music, plus valuable hiking tips....learned a few things!! Also congrats on passing 5k subscribers! All the best from Hank and Pam from South Texas

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thank you so much guys! We really enjoyed this video! It's been a wild journey thanks for following along with us!

[@DavidSmith-vo3nd]

Thanks for the video, wow 15 miles you guys really rock! I haven't been able to do that in a long time, hahahaha!!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks David, 15 miles is a good day hike. We tend to wake up early and get a lot of miles down before it gets too hot! Thanks for watching!

[@aliensoup2420]

There is no such thing as "knowing the weather" in the high Sierras. Even in summer, at high altitude, weather changes on a dime. I've been under clear blue skies and within a hour or so been engulfed in a white-out blizzard in Southern California mid September. Just be prepared for ANY weather.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

[@aliensoup2420]

Trivial side note... caffein is NOT energy - it's a stimulant. Carbs and sugar are energy. Be careful what you recommend. Some people like myself might be sensitive to caffein which can affect heart rate. I learned while hiking that I was sensitive to caffein. Even though I was not consuming it on the trail, I was a regular green tea drinker, which affected me in the long-term. During strenuous exercise my heart went crazy and I became short of breath and near passing out. Quiting tea cured that immediately. No caffein for me.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Everyone is different and we are not experts. Fat is also a great form of energy. Thanks for watching.

[@sokiepokiee]

Great video!! Never been on a real hike, only did nature walks on local trails. I am from New England and I am kicking myself for not taking interest earlier.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hopefully it was helpful! Hiking is wonderful, my parents are from new England!

[@daviscrt]

Great information. Thank you

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks for watching Don! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

good advice . we love to hike as well. glad we found your channel. we have a small rv travel channel.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks for following a long, we will checkout your channel later tonight!👍👍

[@delphinelesterlost3285]

Some good tips here, thank you. I love my hiking boots but they didn't prevent me from twisting my ankle so I think I'll try hiking shoes next time

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Glad you found it helpful. Trial shoes are great!

[@billrichcreek7272]

Also great music...

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks bill! It was a fun one, we love that RVing allows us to hike so often. We try to provide knowledge in any way! Thanks for watching!

[@stevejones1395]

Hey Jesse, I live in Rancho Cucamonga. I have a Keystone 35 Montana 5th wheel and Anderson hitch. I saw your video that raising your front jacks so high caused them to leak hydraulic fluid. One of mine is leaking, how did you fix it? Steve

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hey Steve! Ours has a very small leak and we still haven't fixed it yet. We have been told that any hydraulic or tractor shop can fix them. If we get it fixed, we will definitely be making a video!

[@stevejones1395]

Yeah. please send video when you repair. Thank You. I follow you guys. We are planning a trip to Palm Springs when it cools off, Mid November. Any recommendations for good place to stay?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Joshua Tree is nice, we just boondock. There are tons of desert locations, oh also Anza Borrego is nice!

[@patriciamoscato6586]

What water bottles do u have

[@AdventureEndeavor]

We use a couple different ones we really like these they are great because they collapse. www.amazon.com/dp/B07XXKSCHW?ref=exp_influencer-8be9cacb_dp_vv_mw We also like Nalgene bottles because they have a wide mouth. www.amazon.com/dp/B001NCDE8O?ref=exp_influencer-8be9cacb_dp_vv_mw

[@sofiabennett5212]

any reason you don’t use AllTrails for offline maps and tracking while you are on the hike?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Not really, Melissa just happened to have Gia for a while now and likes it. We don't really find the need to pay for a second app, we have heard great things though.

[@sofiabennett5212]

@@AdventureEndeavor thanks for the quick response, that makes total sense! Having the trails mapped on AllTrails is super convenient and I’ve been curious to see what systems other people use

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Of course no problem. Idk, why what have what we do but it works well.🤷‍♂️

[@munaadhamy]

I’m a lady so if nature calls what would I do?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Find a rock, tree, or bush to hide behind and let er' rip! Don't forget to pack out any TP! :)

[@porkchop1343]

I don’t need boots..I hike barefoot.

Honestly wasn’t aware that dogs could comfortably walk 15 miles

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Our little pup does it all of the time, she seems like she never gets tired. One time it was pretty hot and we carried her the last mile. Make sure you have plenty of water for them!
