As described in "Ultralight Backpackin' Tips" by Mike Clelland!
Love this information, I just got used to 12 mile day hikes over in South Carolina and I have the goal to do section hikes of the smokey mountain portion of the Appalachian trail next year.
Thanks for giving actionable tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Really enjoyed the podcast. I’m a uk hiker and already use the idea of splitting my hiking day into 2 hour stints. I don’t worry too much about the mileage as I know, for me, at my current fitness level and with health conditions I have, 8 hours is the sweet spot to ensure I have done enough but then have enough for the next day. Hadn’t thought about stopping for evening meal an hour out from camp. I like the idea and will try it but reckon much will depend on the weather, it rains a lot here even in summer 😂.
I love watching the OV podcast even after many years on trail I always find it beneficial. Thanks y’all for what ya do…..

Biggest day so far is 13, but I think I could pull a 20 if I force myself to break and stretch every 2.5. Maybe big breaks every 5 miles with shoes off. I’d love to slow my pace as well . . . Maybe 2.5-3 mph vs 3.5. The big OV100 mile hike I have planned won’t give me the opportunity for a 20 mile day, but perhaps I can work one into the shakedown hikes.
Been enjoying the podcast! Turning 50 this year and just getting back into backpacking since my 20s. Actually signed up for the 100 mile challenge and having some tips and structure to getting my body back into shape has been a big help. I really just felt like this was a marketing tool for you guys and I guess it is to some extent, but a lot of good info has come along with it. Also very enjoyable hearing about you guys adventures. Never knew outdoor vitals even existed until watching your 100 mile AT hike on RUclips. Has caused me to buy some OV gear along the way as well. Lol. Keep doing your thing.
Thanks for the support.
Love this!!! Do you ever repack your tent or does it live I. The outside pocket?
depends on how wet it is!
This was great information and exactly what I was wanting to figure out for the OV100, thanks.

Why is there a “political” aspect to whether people do a 12-15 mile day vs a 20 mile a day? Even discounting physical capabilities isn’t it just a preference? Some people are more goal oriented and some want to savor the trail in a different way. If it doesn’t affect others then why would it be “political”. I know you’re just offering an option but that’s an odd and off putting framework.
Yikes, hiking shouldn’t be so controversial. It shouldn’t be so high school cliquish with the UL vs comfort carriers. It really bothers me that it’s getting to where people judge others.
If we want to get judgmental stick to judging people who make things worse for others or harm the environment or wildlife.
That said even if I only do a 10-12 hour day because I want to linger at certain spots to take photographs or do artwork or yoga or whatever some of your tips make sense. I especially like starting early and then having dinner on the trail to enjoy the beautiful twilight and dawn hours. Those are my favorite times to be outside. Taking breaks every two hours definitely helps me go longer too. Go longer without feeling miserable and enjoying my time on the trail that is. Isn’t that the point.:)
