Never throw away water while trekking, it's essential

It was poorly phrased but depending on where you are hiking, planning out how to carry exactly as much water as needed can really help. If you get to the next water source with 70% water capacity when you've been carrying quite a bit of extra weight for no reason.

No need to be overly dramatic. Not every hike is in the middle of nowhere and not every hike lasts multiple hours or days. Hiking downhill is not strenuous and you don't sweat nearly as much as going uphill, so if you've got something like a 2 hour hike downhill, whatever you drank on top is going to be enough hydration until you reach your car. There's no point in carrying more than a couple of sips of water on short downhill hikes.

Ok, I dumped all my water out. now I can finish my hike without all that extra weight.

Is this the Onion? No mention of trekking poles and dumping water, delete this and rethink.

Good tips. I find that putting 60% of weight on front part of foot and 40% on back part automatically shifts the body forward a little. And yes bending the knees helps shift the weight into the hill. When one incorrectly puts most weight on the heels, the foot can slip out down the hill causing a fall. Going uphill it is the opposite… one puts most weight on the heel..

Didn't look like they used their poles at all to take some of the weight off their bodies (knees). I don't think they held them correctly for downhill?

Where was this filmed?? The background looks beautiful!

On steep down or uphill slopes, walk in a traversing path like a skier, if the trail is wide enough. Traversing makes going down safer, and conserves energy going uphill. It will take longer to cover the distance, but will spare your joints from the stress.

Wrong, your heels go first when hiking down hill

@zl1David 2 ай бұрын

Wrong. Slip on your heels while descending and there's nothing behind them but your derriere to save you. Slipping while putting emphasis on the front of your feet means that the heels pick up the slack.
