[fit2btried]

Can I just eat trail mix without hiking?? Ok, I thought you'd say that! Great job doing all this new stuff, Matt! You rocketh!

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Hee hee thanks! and good luck getting the ol wisdoms out!!!

[PrinceFann]

You look very rugged and sexy in that hat!

Love it!

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Hahaha thanks! ;)

Great Video!!

My longest "hike" to date was a two week long wilderness backpacking trip.

You didn't mention it, but I think it is essential:

Always assume there maybe a possibility of you spending the night in the back-country.

In other words, be prepared for any, and all situations. :):)

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Ah yes, thats a whole other type of hiking. I have plans to actually do some backpacking in the future when I can afford the proper gear needed to do it!

Very good point you bring up! For example my poncho doubles as a shelter, and I have an emergency blanket in my pack as well. It can get cooold up there at night!

this is a great video! I do go hiking but not like that :o) your so brave!

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Thanks! Perhaps you should give it a try. Start on liiittle mountains!

[WingedSeed]

This is great, Matt! My husband and I want to get into hiking, and boy would we have been unprepared! We bought a book about what to have for our dog, but not for us..... ( :

Favorited for future reference!

[DeathOfAFatMan]

hahaha yes, you must be ready for it too... well at least your puppy would be well prepared to run for help!

[GrandmaDorrie]

My highest hill climb so far is only 2000 feet!  WTG you!

Much kudos.

:) Good, interesting vlog

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Thank you so much!!

[piperlynne]

Great Top 10! I have to be honest tho....I'd rather frolick through a field of daisies than hike a mountain. Maybe one day that will change. :p

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Hey, how bout a compromise, hike through a big ol field of daisies! lol

[Claude81]

KICK ASS MAN

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Thanks! lol

[maeberrie33]

Matt, very impressive. I love to hike, but just don't do it enough. In fact I haven't been in years upon years. THanks for the video!!!

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Then I think your overdue! Git out there! hee hee

[TheStarvingSoprano]

Such a good video! I love Top 10 Week :-)

[TheStarvingSoprano]

Great video. I love hiking and haven't done it in ages but I do have a good pack that was fitted to my back by a specialist.

Never used Poles but I should get some! I want to plan a few hikes this year. I never been able to figure out foot wear. I always get hideous blisters. I think it's the sock situation / liner. I need to invest. This has been what's put me off hiking.

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Yeah I always had the wrong stuff on my feet in the past. Let me just tell you, if you have the right stuff it makes a world of difference! Worth every dime!

[SRTOOLEY]

I hope to see the video of your hike soon!

[DeathOfAFatMan]

Should be early next week! So much to dooo!
