hi Jason I would just like to thank you for your no nonsense approach to your videos. not only are they very helpful to me at the age of 63 and hiking the AT this year, but I also think back when I was a young boy and watched a special show weekly about fishing and how to . I hope there are young kids watching your show and getting the inspiration to encourage them to hike and get out doors.

@FrozensAdventures 3 года назад

Thanks Chris!

I got some leg pains during the first few days of my thru hike of the Camino de Santiago back in 2014, but I was dead set against poles. One of my fellow travelers forced me to borrow a pair and then buy my own pair in the next town. I finished the entire hike (33 days) and I've been using them ever since, and am definitely a convert!

@OregonMikeH 2 года назад

Jason many years have passed since I came aboard. It's seldom that I comment on any Ch. I had to let you know I so appreciate how you've remained consistent in offing us such good reliable inside views on equipment and use. Sure I love the adventures of course, bur this is your foundation that first brought me aboard and keeps me an avid viewer. Thank You ever so much and as always, Blessings from Oregon. ... Mike.

@FrozensAdventures 2 года назад

Thanks Mike, I'm actually renewing this series just working on the wordings of the next video.

@hazyspirits3177 13 дней назад

Normally I just drip-dry, but I like the idea of a pee rag. Also, I LOVE that you burn the toilet paper. Not big on littering. Thank you!

@mattknapp2942 6 лет назад

Trekking poles are also helpful for blocking overhanging brush, especially when its thorny, and to help relocate the dreaded rattle snake.

@kevinp8108 6 лет назад

The trekking poles have saved me from falling on my butt numerous times. They also save your knees when you're hiking down steep mountains. I used them for breaking when the trails are steep coming down.

@gordonmark9569 4 года назад

Watched your video a few times and used my new trekking poles today following your tips. First time using poles, and I did fall forward. My normal motion is to fall on the palm of my hands since I always wear gloves, but not so while your hand in the poles. Was thinking, good i put my hands the way you recommended, otherwise maybe i have injury. Poles great for going down, and used your techniques. Thanks. Cheers gordon

@rdaugherty52 3 года назад

I've had a knee replacement and I don't know how I ever got alone without trekking poles but I use the rubber stoppers the points would stick in the ground and I would have to pluck them out very aggravating just keep them in my pockets when not used and by the way I use Walmart Ozark trail $19.00 and I love them no problems at all.

@ynyslochtyn 5 лет назад

'Whatever comes natural' I think that is very valid. What u find helps U in term of balance, making the walk comfortable etc. Probably one of the best vids about using hiking poles. Deserves to be a standalone rather than tucked into larger topic.

@TimWatsonOutdoors 6 лет назад

Good tips, great stuff for someone using for the first time. That pretend/almost wipeout at the end had me rolling. 😂

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

+Tim Watson that was no pretend wipeout. Haha

@scottbutler1561 4 года назад

These have got me back on the trail, saved my knees, and possibly my life more than once (or at least my dignity). I noticed that you removed the straps on an earlier video. I'm glad you've come around to the most effective way to use trekking poles. :)

@FrozensAdventures 4 года назад

Nope I still remove them. In fact I haven't used straps in about 3 years I think.

@worldcitizeng6507 4 года назад

I bought Amy trekking poles $29.99 from Costco in June, finally used it to hike up/down the Hoodoos at Bryce canyon last week. It helps!

@Saron206 6 лет назад

I love trekking poles. Perfect to help keep your balance when one are as clumsy as I am 😛

@karenwehman4588 6 лет назад

Your videos are great. THANK YOU for the valuable information. Not only have you helped me get into backpacking but you've save me A LOT of money. Appreciate the time you've taken for this.

@dirkanderson1606 5 лет назад

I bought mine from Target for $20.00 so far they are holding up. I just used them in the "correct" manner for the first time yesterday, will take a few hikes to get use to it. That said, even incorrect technique helped with my knees etc. Thanks for the video, who knew?

@ChrisOverholster 6 лет назад

So funny, I was just re-watching all your other tutorials yesterday. The only thing I would say is missing is talking about the different grip types (cork/rubber/foam) and what you recommend and why. Great video.

@cgriggsiv 6 лет назад

I just bought myself a pair of trekking poles and a trekking pole tent can't wait until I get in next week Excellent video for beginners by the way good job keep up the great work I love all your videos

I have the Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon poles, loving them so far.

@Virpukka 5 лет назад

Also if you have same problem than what I have with my hands, that they get swollen when I do hiking, the poles helps with that. With poles I never have that issue. The main reason why I got them though was that I can not see how far away something is. In hiking that is real issue when going downhill in places where you have to step down from one rock to other example. With having a backbag on it gets scary real fast when you don't have a clue how big jump you have to do to get where you want to go. On my first hike I had to ask people help me because I chikened out in one point. Went and got my poles after that hike and haven't had a problem with those parts after that. The pole gives me visual aid to see what the distance is. Really wouldn't go on hike without them.

@nemome5837 5 лет назад

Good clear tips and demo with good sound quality too. Love the crunching of the autumn leaves 😉

@stevesoutsideadventures 6 лет назад

Thanks for the info , I have been trying to decide if I want to try Trekking poles or not , you made some valid points , gave me something to think about ..............I'm just starting to get into Hiking and still figuring out what gear I need , this is help , Thanks 👍

@scubthebub 6 лет назад

They make a difference on long days for sure and I don't regret getting them. Even if it only makes it 5% easier it adds up quickly.

@sugar-pill 4 года назад

Oh...stabilizer/balance/compression point saver tool. Thanks for the demo; worthy tutorial.

@delphinelesterlost3285 3 года назад

Very thorough review, I love my aluminium telescopic poles, so much better for my knees and back

@barryh16354 4 года назад

Very helpful information! Thanks! Just ordered my first pair. I’m a newbie hiker. Oil Creek State Park is in my backyard (Titusville) so I will put them to the test. Hope to see you here at Oil Creek sometime. 😊

@FrozensAdventures 4 года назад

Great hiking there!

@gregbrady4752 6 лет назад

I find the rubber tips work well on the trail...and grip rock better than the carbide tips because they have more surface area,,,

@1houndgal 4 года назад

Yes I like the boot rubber tips on my cascade tech trekking poles from costco. Especially on hard dirt.

@WolfPacks 6 лет назад

Nice video! I just upgraded to a pair of adjustable Leki poles due to a new tent purchase and some of your comments in other videos on Black diamond poles.

@uptrail7169 6 лет назад

Trekking poles work good and I should think about using them again someday. I'm celebrating my birthday tonight packing for tomorrows adventure. LOL

🤭 1:38 Jason taught me how to work a pole :P (But I didn't know that info :P, so thanks)

@mirsaalvarez6958 5 лет назад

Do you recommend having these trekking poles if your over weight and have issues with leg pain.. I am over weight and want to start but even when I walk on flat ground my legs start hurting meaning I get muscle pain and after the muscle pain I start getting stiffness and my legs buckle up .. so I was wondering if this can help me ..

@FrozensAdventures 5 лет назад

Trekking poles are a great way to help hike easier

@flyrodhiker8326 6 лет назад

I've been thinking about trekking poles, but I'm a big guy. 6'4" and pushing 300 pounds. I just wonder how well will they help hold me up especially when going down hill? Thanks for the video

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

To give you some info, my buddy Matt (you can see him in the latest Dolly Sods video), he's about 280lbs similair height. He used some $20 Ohuhu poles I had laying around and he had no problems with durability. I would go with aluminum. GL man!

@ChrisOverholster 6 лет назад

You should notice a big difference, especially on your knees with being able to spread the force out between your legs and arms.

@musixchix 6 лет назад

Part time Hiker I’m not as tall as you...5’4” but in the same weight range and I have an older Leki model with the good locks and I’ve been using them for over a year. From Indiana to now Colorado, through creek beds, snow, and mountains and they have saved me every time. I also use them for my tent and tarp set ups. So Leki all the way.

@season.appreciation8102 6 лет назад

@fredhartman1325 3 года назад

I am anemic, so get out of breath easily on steep inclines. Have you noticed that with trekking poles you don't lose your breath so quickly? I can walk flat trails easily, but don't want to be limited to them.

@FrozensAdventures 3 года назад

Trekking poles make it easier for sure.

@MrD4NTE3 6 лет назад

Will we be able to buy the shirt you have on?

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

I ran a campaign for it a few weeks ago, in a few weeks I'll have the campaign go on repeat, a few people have been asking about it as well. I'll put the link up on the channel links when it's ready.

@MrD4NTE3 6 лет назад

awesome, can't wait

@thomaszabel1521 6 лет назад

Carbon poles vs. Aluminum? I bought aluminum because of lower price, and have had no issues yet, but I haven't done any hardcore multi-day backpacking. Should I be concerned that aluminum is weaker or anything like that?

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

Carbon poles are just lighter, might be a little stronger too. The thing with carbon is if they fail they snap, with aluminum if they fail the bend and they can the be bent back.

@nemome5837 5 лет назад

Carbon fibre gets brittle in the cold and can fail and they are lighter and can blow around in the breeze and make walking hazardous. You get fatigued struggling with the pole and because the tip isn't landing where you want to place it, you can fall.

@diomepa2100 3 года назад

For anyone still interested in this. Carbon is lighter and stronger - but unlike aluminum, you can snap them catastrophically. Carbon also ages worse. Aluminum, is generally speaking more durable. Also yes, aluminum is heavier, so you can maintain momentum generally easier, especially in cross wind. On the other hand if you are walking on the side of a ridge (those meandering trails in high mountains), lighter poles are better.

@musixchix 6 лет назад

I LOVE my LEKI poles and take them on ever hike. But even on long day hikes, the straps leave blisters. I know I’m holding them the correct way cause I’ve watched countless videos and they are loose like you were talking about. Anyone have advice? Or do I just have to deal?

@nemome5837 5 лет назад

You will develop tougher skin over time but you could use a pair of gloves that feel good. Maybe ones if it's not too cold.

@josephkelley8634 4 года назад

Don't forget there are left and right poles.

@somnathde8680 3 года назад

I just took my wife on her first backpacking trip last week, you can check out the video here if you'd like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_tRf60vy1fo.html I took my spare set of trekking poles and when we got to the trailhead, she insisted that she didn't need them. Guess who didn't have their trekking poles by the end of the trip! Haha! By the way, do you or have you ever used a gimbal to shoot your videos? Excellent job! Thanks!

@CCorey-zo6oc 5 лет назад

A way of saying ty for these video's is that I make walking sticks facebook.com/KnotinHead/ and would love to make ya one (or a matching set), you would need to ofc give me any special features you want, carved saying, etc. The idea is it would be custom. I have made them for others, I enjoy it, but ty again.
