    Loved your phrase, “stay loosely tied to lofty goals.” Brilliant way to deliver great advice! I won’t forget that one.

      I can't take credit for it, wish I could remember who to credit but it's stayed with me too!

    I actually dig those mental games you’ve presented. I’ll try to remember them and apply them. Out of all the things you mentioned, the mud trails is the one I find the suckiest. Your night hiking thought of “This is the same trail whether it’s night or day” is one that I’ve said to myself over and over again. The way I trip myself up sometimes is with thinking about the number of animals that are nocturnal where I live.

      I'm so glad you like them! I agree mud is the hardest for me too I think. And yeah, the nocturnal animals are completely valid. I try to remember they'd rather not run into me either.

    Great insight! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. I really enjoyed my night hike on the AT at Blood Mountain this past weekend, happier to do it in the dark than doing it in the rain.

    I never thought about how walking to the side of a trail would affect the environment. It makes sense that it would. I'm going to try to make sure I don't do that.

    Which Nitecore headlamp do you use for night hiking? The Nitecore NU32?

      @eliseott  5 месяцев назад

    Sos, or sauce? And why?

    • @eliseott
      @eliseott  5 месяцев назад +1

      kinda both! Started out as SOS, evolved to being pronounced "Sauce" and now I just kinda go with that. SOS was for "soup on sand" spilled my last dinner at a sandy creek side and had to eat some of it.

    The best thing about getting lost is popping out your paper topo map, compass and finding your way out.🌿🗺️🧭
