In this episode of hiking news I delve into some important and pressing topics affecting hikers both in Southern California and beyond. The episode begins on a somber note with the report of a missing hiker in Southern California, who tragically slipped in a stream while hiking to the Bridge to Nowhere. This incident underscores the dangers of crossing streams, particularly during periods of heavy snowmelt or rain. I urge all hikers to exercise caution and avoid taking unnecessary risks in such conditions.
The discussion then shifts to another rescue story, this time involving a hiker in Hawaii who ventured onto a closed trail, spurred by misleading information from social media. This incident brings to light the critical need for hikers to rely on trusted sources for trail information and to respect trail closures. I share insights from park officials who emphasize the challenges and dangers posed by misinformation online, stressing the importance of accessing accurate and updated information directly from official park websites.
Further into the episode, I touch on the broader implications of increased visitation to national parks. Interesting data from the National Park Service indicates that, despite perceptions of overcrowding, park attendance is actually slightly down from pre-pandemic years. This leads into a discussion on the implementation of timed entry systems and permit requirements as measures to manage park capacity and preserve natural resources.
On a positive note, I highlight innovative initiatives like the California State Parks partnering with libraries to offer free parks passes, making it easier for people to access and enjoy the great outdoors. Conversely, I briefly mention the controversial decision by Ohio to allow fracking in state parks, reflecting the ongoing debates over land use and conservation.
The episode concludes with exciting news about advancements in satellite technology for hikers. Starlink's testing of its direct-to-cell technology promises enhanced connectivity for hikers, potentially improving safety and communication in remote areas. I also introduce the Ulefone 23 Ultra, a new rugged outdoor phone equipped with satellite messaging capabilities, marking a significant step forward in outdoor communication technology.
Throughout the episode, I remind viewers of the importance of safety, preparedness, and respect for nature as we explore the great outdoors. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just starting out, staying informed and cautious can help ensure that your adventures are both enjoyable and safe.
Thanks, looking forward to hearing more about satellites and Android phones.
I fully support efforts to minimize overcrowding in parks. I've been to parks pre-covid when it was absolutely miserable because there were way too many visitors. Just because visitor volumes were higher in the past does not mean those volumes were optimal.
Agreed. I was at Acadia, pre covid, and it turned out to be the busiest in the history of the park. It was miserable. People were parking on both sides of a road where parking was not allowed, which significantly impeded traffic. I saw 3 separate car accidents that day - 1 car had to be pulled out of a ditch. There was nothing fun or relaxing day and it was the absolute worst day of our week long trip to an amazing place.
I remember backpacking all over the Sierra in the 1970s. We would hike for days and not see another person. We didn't expect anyone to save us if things went south. What a different time it was.
Great job informing us on some important issues and even giving your take on them without getting too political!
Thank you for sharing your experience and ideas. Just today I turned around on a solo day hike because of a different feeling I had.
Always love these. Clear, concise and packed with information that could easily fly under the radar.
thank you!
We can't wait to have you on the live podcast panel for our 4 Year Anniversary! It's going to be a truly special outdoor community gathering. Sat, April 6th can't come soon enough :)
These news updates are really great, i can only catch so much and your analysis helps.
Thanks for covering the difficulty of social or crowd-developed resources for quality and trusted information. I've helped out a few dozen people on trail in places where they were extended past their experience or expectations-no judgement of the people, just a recognition that we all need better information for our planning.
As for the Parks claiming rising visitor numbers for restricted permits, that tracks with the time needed for governmental processes. The Parks saw the rise, did a year or two of research on where and when, did public outreach for another year or two on what is/not acceptable, spent another year finalizing a report and getting approvals-and now it's five or six years later being implemented long after the bubble has burst! But, really, these are probably good practices to start since it's likely to continue growing. My belief is the more we have people outdoors, the more they will cherish and respect our shared outdoors.
Good advice. Thanks
Another really informative video, I wish you were living in Europe. You are one of the best to tell your stories. Hope you will keep on going. Thanks.
Big thank you!
Many thanks for the Starlink direct to cell with android update. I live in NM, and we have LOTS of dead zones in our northern mountains.
Park websites are a source of some useful information and must be checked but just like an FAA aviation weather brief for pilots you can quickly be surprised if they are your only source.
Was in Utah last weekend. They have timed entry on local hikes near Provo. Like if OC did timed entry on Black Star. I suppose it’s either that or raise the price of a parking pass, but dang.
I’m getting skunked by all these lotteries. And who is nabbing all the Kearsarge Pass permits at 7:00:01, ahead of me?
Trying to make vacation plans when it’s impossible to get a permit 😡
illegals gotta hike too bro!
Yes! Same question about the permits. I tried two days in a row and was skunked. Very frustrating.
I tried 3 weeks in a row.
Thanks for the great information..
Excellent & informative.
I'm stoked to hear about the possibility of Android satellite phones and Starlink.
thanks for the hint on the free parks passes! I'm going to contact my local library and save $200! The Starlink to Cell may help reduce Garmin's monthly fees by adding competition. Now all we need is the ATT system added on, and some good SAR insurance .... see you in Glendale April 6.
Here in Canada our Prime Minister made National Park access free one year. It was the worst year I have ever seen in the Parks. I had to not go that year. Limited Access is the only way.
It looks Google will introduce very soon, SOS over satellite on its last Pixels phone. A very similar service as Apple. probably within next software update
What are the updates on the Motorola Defy and the bankruptcy between it and its parent company

👍
Fewer people are going probably because money grubbing Aramark price gouges in the parks.
