1. Tell someone where you’re going.
2. Make sure everyone you’re hiking with knows exactly where their going and how long it’ll take.
3. Check the weather.
4. Be aware of local wildlife in your area.
5. Make sure you take the ten essentials systems.
6. Look up while you’re hiking.

Tip #1 is so underrated I can’t stress it enough thank you for mentioning this I’ve seen a lot of other beginner tips videos and you’re the only one to mention this so far

[frankchandler]

Really important to learn from those who have gone before you. You simply don't have enough time to make all the mistakes yourself.

I'm not that much of a beginner anymore, but I found lots of your tips useful. 👍

Thank you for a well thought video that is efficient with information! So many YouTubes you have to watch 1 to 2 minutes before truly getting to content. Well done!

Totally agree with the heads up additude. Be aware of your surroundings, dead tree limbs can easily kill if a big one falls from a tree! Be careful guys!

I thought about trying hiking. I think I'd go with one to three friends and at least one that is experienced.
I know to bring some food like nuts and cereal bars, some first aid supplies, water and a lifestraw, lighter, compass, hand radios, whistle, flashlight and small lantern, knife, a couple handguns with ammo, probably 50+ rounds for each, a small thermal blanket, and I can't think of anything else right now. Realistically I will think about it for months first and make a list of stuff I think I'll need along the way while watching videos like these. I always think of water and weapons first, then try to figure out what else I may need. :)

The weather changes easily, especially in the mountains, desert or on the coast... Always be prepared...

Im starting to get into hiking & just being out in nature. My first challenge is hiking my local metroparks which is about 7mi through. I recently rode my bike on the trail there & it took about 2hrs there & back.

I need a video on Hiking for dummies. I've never been, but have always wanted to. I literally know nothing about hiking, other than walking.
