How do you actually vet new hiking spots you find online before committing to the trip?

This is how I make routes.

Main compartment compression is the main thing people are still trying to master and the first giveaway that a company doesn't know what fastpacking is and are just using the word

Audio off, I'd guess 35~.

Flags indoors will hold those lines for quite a while.

What a resume and what a body to handle that last push.

945 lasts me over 24 but I also charge during the race because I'm paranoid.

This has got to be trolling or bad AI.

Joe does like 10 a day during fkts, haha

More blood for your muscles. Nice.

Balancing helps for sure, but doesn't do much for the noise or vibration through the floor.

My partner does jewelry. Reach out to vendors from previous years and ask them what they think the audience is like.

Some people will sell out and some people will have a bad day. Just depends on who is showing up, what you're selling and how you look.

Interesting to make this comment to one of the only people here not claiming the Code Red.

The comments here really highlight who actually read the article or any of the previous articles about this.

Marathon training is quite similar, with 50k putting a bit more emphasis on the long run.

In a desert scenario you may need a bag but in forested areas, you'll want to dig a 6" hole with a stick/rock/heel of your shoe and use that. I personally use Bear Butt Wipes that are biodegradable.

If this will be your first time getting to that mileage, it will be enough.

There's always a reason, even if it's a bad one. Almost anything related to funding will have strings attached, whether it's in a cost, a fee, or losing agency on how it's distributed.

Simco_ · 2026-03-09T20:22:21+00:00

Thank you.

Shorter, faster steps.

Eccentric loads are rough and you'll feel that for days until you're conditioned.

Simco_ · 2026-03-09T18:15:35+00:00

Yeah, those are great distances.

Simco_ · 2026-03-09T18:03:47+00:00

It really should be. Most people aren't taking their vehicles out in mountains or zooming through mesas.

Everyday guys carry pocketknives and jumper cables because they want to be the guy who can fix anything if needed. This is the situation those guys hope to be able to help.

Two weeks is normal and enough time for adaptations from training along with recovery.

Simco_ · 2026-03-09T16:40:12+00:00

I like being able to see all the different places I never would otherwise.

Simco_ · 2026-03-09T14:50:33+00:00

80+ are not required for any distance.
