Are you a teacher by profession? Your style of lecture and tone of voice remind me of several professors I've had over the years.

How interesting! As a teacher myself, I've found that many of my colleagues are also outdoor enthusiasts. I wonder how many of the people making KZitem channels on the subject are teachers as well... surely it would be a measurable percentage! In any case, I enjoy your videos a lot, so please do keep up the great work!

Great video, one simple misstep led to a broken fibula and a massive sprained ankle on the second day of a 3 day backpack. Took me 13 hours to walk out of the Linville Gorge to safety on that broken foot. It was still an excellent adventure but it goes to show that the smallest accidents can lead to crazy situations.

Wow, that is crazy. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad you could look at it as an adventure and that it wasn't worse. I've often wondered what mental fortitude would be needed to get myself out of the backcountry if injured. I'm sure you reset the bar for yourself as to what you can endure/accomplish.

Indeed! Those are all important things. Im about to go on a 120km hike on an old Roman trail here in Germany. It's not exactly backcountry but I also like to have escape routes planned. So I know the closest villages along the way, to get home ahead of schedule and/or to resupply.

A PLB is definitely more foolproof but doesn't give the option of sending pre-written texts to give updates on your status. This feature is why I chose SPOT.

I was thinking about that one to. You can send sms and ok status. But the thing is you have to pay a yearly fee for that one. Atleast in Sweden. With a PLB you just have to register it and then its free. You can only send SOS though. But I think I go for the PLB.

I actually only carry a rifle during hunting season. If I carried a firearm for defense in the backcountry it would be more practical to carry a pistol chambered in a substantial caliber such as .357, 45ACP or 10mm. Many hunters and backpackers who frequent areas with brown bears (who are far more aggressive) carry such firearms or bear spray. Thanks for watching!
