Trevor Laher's Story - Saving lives on the Pacific Crest Trail
It's been a year since I met Trevor Laher on the Pacific Crest Trail as we embarked on our 2,665-mile journey from Mexico to Canada.
We hiked together for a short while, but never would I have imagined that chatting with him at Montezuma Valley would be the last time I saw him.
On the 27th of March 2020, snow-covered icy slopes and a lack of winter equipment caused Trevor to have a fatal fall in the San Jacinto Mountains at Apache Peak.
Since that day, Doug Laher, his father, says after months of difficulty, his son's story has given him a new purpose in life, to selflessly ensure the safety of others following in Trevor's footsteps.
This is the story of how a father's son's tragedy is saving...

NEW Jetboil Stash - Backpacking stove first impressions!
Просмотров 11 тыс.3 года назад
The all-new Jetboil Stash is their lightest and most efficient compact backpacking stove to date and I was lucky enough to be selected to test one out prior to launch. I haven't properly stretched its legs on a thru-hike yet due to the pandemic, but I wanted to give you my first impressions and a quick overview of the stove kit. It's not as cheap and quick as my MSR Pocket Rocket 2, but it's ce...

Skye trail part 5 - Last day, Blà Bheinn + Bonus footage

Skye Trail Part 2 - The Trotternish Ridge
Просмотров 9 тыс.3 года назад
The most difficult section of the Skye Trail awaits. Steep ridgeline hills and low visibility coupled with driving wind and rain made the Trotternish Ridge slow, long, cold and bleak. Only a few momentary breaks in cloud cover showed the magnitude and scale of the landscape. The peninsula below to the NE seemed to stretch for miles. The Old Man of Storr turned out to be shrouded in cloud, and b...

    Great info on the video. I have one slight suggestion: we hike in the Southwest US and on rocks. We use those rubber tips on rock (large rock or loose rock) because the poles then don't slide off the hard surfaces. All else is good, and I like the tips for adjusting length. I also like the workout for my arms added to the hike workout by using poles. Thanks!

    Top tip: in really torrential downpours (when cycling) wear 2 breathable waterproof jackets, a figure hugging proprietry jacket (I have a Rapha Pro team race cape) and this Torrentshell. It works for me. In warmer climates just don't worry too much about getting wet))

    My LEKI poles are fantastic. I love the hand harness because they stay more stable in your hand. Also, the load on your hand is better distributed. With their shark grip, you don’t need to constantly grip to control. Simply cradle & let it glide back and forth as you walk in normal fashion (normal arm swing). This is the technique of Nordic Walking. Excellent! P.S. with your loops, you must remember to have your thumb on the side which is the strap which passes under the strap that your fingers are resting on. Most reputable manufacturers will have them setup as such (even marking L & R). That’s why you’ll usually see the strap ends overlap “mirror image” from one pole to the other.

You pretty much nailed the way I use mine. A commenter had a good observation of the first method of strap use that you showed....about retaining the pole when grabbing something and also about holding the pole for downhill. I will look into that. Thanks for sharing.

    Ok hear me out. Someone needs to design a backpack that turns into a shelter. You have all this excess fabric that lives in your pack most of the time, taking up space and adding weight, and generally only comes out when you are camping for the night. I’d love to see an innovative way to wrap your gear up into your shelter, roll it up, and strap it to your back in a way that’s comfortable and supports your gear weight.

  • @GarGri
    @GarGri 4 месяца назад

    The rubber tips are not there just to protect the tungsten tips!! They are also there so that when walking on tarmac and other hard surfaces you do not annoy everyone else with your click click noise as you move along. Also when transporting your sticks and backpack it stops your metal tips from taking someone's eye out! Well done for making the video and well done for watching. I see so many people walking along carrying their poles of having them stowed away in their backpacks. They are no good whatsoever there. They provide two additional contact points on the ground, if you trip, they will help keep you upright rather than falling on your knees and hands.
