Oh wow, is it humid? I don’t think I could handle it!

Yeah maybe since it’s such a popular trail there’s just a higher likelihood of ANYTHING happening, even though the trail itself doesn’t have many hazards

It’s hard to imagine what type of situation a hiker could possibly get into on Mam Tor 🤔

Oh wow, was it moving fast? Would be a scary situation to get trapped in

Good job! Sometimes I sing or clap when I’m hiking for that reason, but I’ve still managed to surprise some black bears somehow.

Heck yeah!

Thanks!

How do I find out which park it is each week? Which one is this week?

I tell myself he never actually does 99% of what he says he will, he just riles everyone up until we want to kill ourselves

Sometimes I walk my parents dogs but idk how much I trust them, they react to any little noise and it’s never a bear lol. Dog who cried wolf

That’s a great indicator. I need to get myself an adventure dog!

Jeez, random stuff like that you can't even prepare for or fathom in advance. I wonder what my brain would have thought was happening, maybe an avalanche or apocalypse #parkchat

Omfg 😳 What an intro to backpacking. I think I might have taken a long break before the next one! #parkchat

Ha that is indeed an unusual one! I've never lost a shoe completely but the first big hike I ever did the sole ripped off my shoe and I had to duct tape it. Recently on a group backpacking trip one guy lost the sole of his shoe too, and we had to wrap paracord around to tie it together. #parkchat

Oof yeah that is the WORST, so demoralizing.
March 27, 2025 at 1:51 PM
If you get scared enough maybe that will exhaust you enough to fall asleep lol
March 27, 2025 at 1:49 PM
Whoa!
March 27, 2025 at 1:47 PM
That would just add insult to injury 😂 Like great, my murderer has also seen my bare ass
March 27, 2025 at 4:40 AM
Sounds like an interesting story behind the canoe sentiment 😂 #parkchat
March 27, 2025 at 4:38 AM
Come to think of it I've never tried to protect my inreach from cold like I do my other electronics, I should start doing that
March 27, 2025 at 4:27 AM
No praying on the dam 😂 We're safe then @naturetechfam.bsky.social, it won't burst cuz there's no praying
March 27, 2025 at 4:26 AM
Haha he his a man of many mysteries and contradictions 😂 The leaves thing is so cute
March 27, 2025 at 4:23 AM
100% and I think there's also something to be said for messing up and having a few blunders in the beginning, it's like you kinda have to have a few of those to learn. Can't come out the gate fully formed. Some things you wouldn't even think to google, I've run into the most random issues #parkchat
March 27, 2025 at 4:22 AM
Wow that's gorgeous though 😍

Sometimes I think I really need to trade in my Tacoma for a smaller car because dragging that behemoth around curves and picking up too much speed on downhills and having zero turn radius is starting to wear me out #parkchat

😮 That's the most on-the-nose claw mark I've ever seen, like YUP no doubting that one, definitely a claw mark #parkchat
