    Love your channels and content. Great simple tips too! I used to go on many a long walks and camps with my dad when I was just a young whippersnapper. We would always wear bread bags on our feet when it was raining. Still at 38 I follow my dads footsteps and the ingenious idea of bread bags lol. RIP dad.

    The free umbrella bags at the entrance of most Walmart stores here make great water proof sock covers 👌 They are heavy-duty and almost go to your knee . Great for water crossing.
    Great video Haze

  • @thewalkingsketchbook
    @thewalkingsketchbook 2 года назад

    👍 Totally agree with the tape. Got a burn in my new Ajungilak bag, 25 years ago, (someone’s hot rock??) and put a piece of tape to stop the fill evacuating and the hole getting any bigger...it’s still on it! Saved the bag! TOP!

  • @introvert_outdoors
    @introvert_outdoors 2 года назад

    That knot works even better, when you do a "square knot" on your shoelaces rather than a granny knot ;). I think after so many miles hiked you just wake up one day knowing it, because as soon as you spoke of tying laces, I was like "I already know a good way" :DDD. Great advice though :) Thanks for the vids Haze :D

  • @jeffreycrawley1216
    @jeffreycrawley1216 2 года назад

    Am I the only person who starts off a "standard" knot with the left hand loop? I've been doing it like that since Miss Tisdale taught me when I was in the Infants 65 years ago - I think I'd just graduated from Clarks sandals!
    Looking at other websites everybody seems to do the right loop first but it just looks so ODD to me :o)
    Loved the story that Olga Berluti learned of the knot from the Duke of Windsor who was taught it by his grandmother, Queen Alexandra, "to ensure he would never be embarrassed by trailing laces"

  • @JustinMcNeil
    @JustinMcNeil 2 года назад

    The laces tip just blew my mind. I always knot the loops exactly how you show, and yeah it's a pain in the A when I get home tired and covered in mud. I'll definitely try this out

    @nuggethikes 2 года назад +1

    FYI, I picked up a thru hiker that has completed the pct and the at. I asked about tape and he said to never wrap it around your trekking poles. After it’s in The sun for awhile, the tape starts to melt and in unusable. He said to wrap it so something and keep it inside your pack.

    Never seen that knot before! Will definitely be trying it out next time I tie my laces :D
    My hiking poles always have tape on them too, both duct tape and some of the medically type tape. Comes in useful a lot more than you'd think when you always have it ready.

    GTX stands for Gore-Tex. Virtually all outdoor shoes and boots are ‘Something GTX’.
    Lots of people (I am part-time in an outdoor store) ask for a shoe or boot called ‘the GTX’….

    Hazey you bloomin star !
    Fifty five years later, I find a new way to tie shoe laces.
    My top tip is, don’t use bread bags as sick bags in the car , vent holes cause a few issues 🤢.

    • @HazeOutdoors
      @HazeOutdoors  2 года назад +3

      Bread bags shouldn’t have vent holes mate. Someone’s done you dirty

    @TheMadmacs 2 года назад +1

    great tips, i use freezer food bags, just big enough for my feet, and i wrap some tape around a pen, i love the shoelaces tip imma try that.... do you know about the 1,3,2 bootlace thing, to avoid tying at the top of the boot? go to first hoops then third hoops then back down to second hoops to tie them tight... it lets you puul heel back into boot and avoids them being tight around your lower calf, lets you move about better too.

Couldn't get them off quick enough. Gonna remember your tips for this year's Hadrian's wall thru hike in April 😊👍🏕

  • @dooleyfussle8634
    @dooleyfussle8634 2 года назад +1

    Another way to lock your laces is to just keep going around again after your first loop around the "bunny ear". It helps if you use two fingers instead of one to hold the ear loop to facilitate grabbing the lace to pull back through. Pulls out easily and you'll never have to retie again!

    Nameste. Shoe lace was best tip. I never knew it. Blown me mind. I'll be doing it from now on. However I always put an extra twist/turn on the first part so it doesn't slip before making the loops and keeps the tension.
