Improved Tips for Older Hikers
In this video, I review 14 new and improved tips for older hikers. These tips were identified and developed during the second year of my Pacific Crest Trail Hike in 2023 when I hiked through a section of Northern California and all of Oregon. I think this video complements the other two “Tips” videos I created. It deals with training techniques, mental attitudes, and practices and strategies for coping with adversity on a long distance hike. I hope you enjoy it. As always, my primary goal is to inspire older hikers or novices who feel the call of the wilderness to take that first step.
