I was at a parade and tripped. People started to help me get up. I asked them to wait. I took inventory then asked them to help. Being 70s don't be in a hurry.
Thanks, Blackie. I'm seventy-five, with Parkinson’s Disease and rheumatoid arthritis. I don't camp anymore, but I like to walk rough ground. I do fall occasionally, but with minor damage, we all heal. I now have a better way of getting up. Thank you.😊😊😊
Blackie, Thank You Sir for sharing this information on . I'm not a member of the 10,000 fall club yet .Yes Sir I couldn't believe how quickly I lost muscle mass when I had my Spinal Stroke because of Covid. 4-6 weeks I was shocked. I was working at Lowe's Home Improvement in the Millwork Department as a Sales Specialist .I would pick up 6 foot French doors and Entry doors, Windows by myself and loading everything the customers needed. Getting ready to turn 63 on the 27th of March. Thank You Sir for your Knowledge and Teaching . I'm still quick for a cubby fellow 6'2" and 181# with a cane. Also How Much You Helped me in my rehab, I did my own rehab you kept me very Positive to get me back in the woods because everything was closed and not taking in patients. God Bless Y'all, You and Mrs. Blackie.
68years young.I use a horse training cane . Taller than a regular cane and the hook can be used to pull yourself up. Great video as always. Thank you 😊
Blackie thanks so much!!!! I'm a geezer with all the maladies known to geezer-hood. I was in the hospital twice last year for heart failure and am still pretty weak. I have a cane master's cane of hickory and a Brazos staff of ironwood . I think with this information, I might have been able to get back to my feet. As it was, My neighbor, who is an angel, sat with me until help arrived.
Blackie, Thank you very much for the great tips for getting up from being on the ground. I have found myself in that same situation and the use of a strong walking staff, DOES do the job. 1:05
I have several herniated discs in the back and neck and have been sleeping on a firm futon on the floor & get up the way Blackie demonstrated but use furniture instead of a staff... sometimes my words that go with aren't for "sensitive" ears. And when my house insurance finally pays off from Hurricane Ida ('21) I've got a home gym picked out already, and a treadmill. Great video Blackie. Love the T-Shirt !
got a hunk of maple that may have change jobs, from fire pit to walking stick. the other issue is to apply recovery techinques to the grocery store. usually what i want is on the bottom shelf. so get down, select the item, put the item in your cart (max reach over the top of cart) now lets get back on our feet. thinking use the shelf to take the place of the stick. over what i am doing now. would be easier on back. the one i have done repeatly over the years is i plant the right leg. go over a tree trunk or go to turn, expecting to turn at the ankle. instead i do the football knee injury of pivoting at the knee, trying to dislocate the knee joint. this is one where you sit down for about 10 minutes. then figure out how you are 1. getting up, 2. making your way to vehicle / home at best slowest speed, 3. hospital next.
We have White Oak up here instead. Nothing beats a little sapling of white oak for hiking sticks in my area. It's relatively light, extremely strong and flexes with a tight grain running end to end. The part about relaxing the injured part and using other muscles is what I taught my combat students for decades. Blackie, This was an important instructional that should serve many viewers very well.
My staff is aluminum tubes that are in sections. I like having ways to store EDC stuff and it has a hammer and a sharp tip i have on the handles being a single female walking with a cane or staff I want something I can use to swing at someone and cause injury if need to. Them adjustable aluminum canes can get at Walmart that are light just don't cut it. On the bottom of my wooden staff I use when I am in the backyard is just a broom stick and I have a spike that's for then aluminum or other canes to bite into the ice and snow for when I am locking up, or letting my birds out. The spike can swing up to the side during the warm months. With my bad back it's been a huge help! I am going to add the paracord to both!! So glad you touched on this subject. I have missed so many of your videos for some reason. Will definitely be binge watching and checking my subscription!
If you have knee replacements, kneeling is screaming, so I try not to hit the ground. I use a hammock for camping and try to use a cot if tent camping.. If I do find myself on the ground, I rotate myself onto all fours, scream until I can use my arms to push up enough to get my feet under me and then pull myself up the rest of the way with my walking stick. Yes, the handicapped are definitely interesting to watch sometimes.
They are some stretch exercise vieos on here for older folks. They will help limber you up. Sometimes the shepards hook is good because you can hook on and pull yourself up. Actually the best thing you can do is practice getting up at home just the way you do everything else. Your staff may not be as light as the go fast ones but like Blackie says they are not up to the task. I have one I cut from Osage Orange and it takes a beating and has for more than 20 years. Also if you have a friend to help, you both can grab the staff to pull up. Don't forget if you posess a good leather belt. I dump everything I am carrying as well. I can pick it up after I am on my feet.
👍 Rheumatism, arthrosis, arthritis is extremly shit. If you don't have this yourself, you can't appreciate how you suffer from it. A few times a week I do pushups at the workbench while working. Alternating with the pushups, I bend my back as far as I can, so I create a hollow back. Then there are 2 more squats and bends forward down to the toes. Finally, I stand on one leg and pull the other knee up with my hands towards the opposite shoulder. I repeat this 3 or 4 times as needed and then I get back to work. Old bones, muscles and joints don't like to stay in the same position for a long time. They like to be moved, stretched and lubricated to the right extent.

can I add to the topic and recommend a book 'Back Mechanic by Dr. Stuart McGill'? it's for people with back injuries, weak core muscles etc. there good illustrations of how to do simple activities that we do all day automatically and if done incorrectly it can have impact on the backbone. standing, sitting, picking up things from the shelf or ground, posture while walking etc
I'm carrying the after effects of work related damage to the cartilage in both knees and my left ankle, undet heavy stress the joints can 'pop out' and I go down initially vertically then forwards that's how I fractured my left ankle at the age of 67, zoned out woke up suddenly realised it was 2.20 am and launched myself up off the sofa not realising my ankle had relaxed and was pointing way off to the side it popped out I went down felt the bone break, good old NHS whisked away in an Ambulance I was lucky was a non rotational break so got a boot for six weeks rather than a cast and everything that follows (so far so good) cane never far away now
High chronic insulin also damages muscle tissue. The older you get the less food you need. People continue to eat and that drives insulin. And that damages muscle tissue.
Older people really should do some light-moderate weight lifting. Not so much for increasing strength, like a younger person, but to keep your strength. Also everyone needs to practice stretching, not so much yoga (though that’s fine), but basic stretching to keep your body limber and mobile, especially the ability to get up off the ground. If you’re a heavier person (like I am), and want to be outdoorsy; you really should work on losing weight and improving your health; it’ll make being outdoors much easier. My dad recently passed away, he had serious health issues including RA and spinal stenosis. He didn’t stay mobile and it exasperated his existing problems.
A garden hoe with the flat part removed leaves a bent over metal end bit almost like a hook, and you can push yourself or pull yourself up or hit and stab with it.

Yes, us Silver Wolves can get in “stick-ey” situations! Thanks, Blackie!
You got that right!
Good tip this 75 year old can use. Thanks Blackie!

I didn't strip the Paracord of it's inner strands because I weigh over 270#s. Can't wait to try it out.

I thought that was iron wood and you are correct. It is very hard. We have it here in Central North Carolina.
they make great walking sticks
Great video
Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

very true practice with someone there to back you up but find what works for you
good things to know!

very true we have to keep flexing and stretching
That isn't a lie!!! Over this winter I have gotten sooo weak! It's awful! I have been in physical therapy trying to get some strength again safely.
good luck with that hope you get strong again

@ClickOnProfile6232 honrado por tu respuesta. Sería un deleite compartir y seguir aprendiendo y disfrutando el Campo
Thanks Blackie, I needed this technique. Where can I get that ironwood staff?
I have a bad knee and foot injury. Really helpful information. I have a heavy duty oak cane. It also has a self defense purpose.
@ClickOnProfile6232 SCAMMER!!!

I’m 71 and can sit down and get up from sitting on the ground without any aids and hands free. It is about staying fit.
Blackie do you all have Ironwood common around you?
