Southwest hiking?

Anonymous Sun 14 Jul 2019 23:13:52 No.1557925 View Reply Original Report

I'm an idiot from the northeastern states with literally no experience hiking in a dry southwestern climate. I'm going to AZ for a few days in September and want to experience the natural beauty without dying.
Aside from bring shitloads of water, what do I need to know? Mostly looking for general tips but if the specifics of my trip will help let me know.

Ya. Exacta. Feel comfy in knowing that any dampness acquired won't be around for long, especially when stopping for any amount of time. I live in the mojave, but just got back from the sonoran a week ago. Rooted around on the rez a bit, too. Both are dry AF. Those wicking socks r just fine. Don't dare go without.

Anybody got any good boot recommendations? I've been making do with a pair of Danner hunting boots, but I could use something better suited for the desert.

I appreciate the robust ankle support when I'm out in the Mojave hiking through the hills and lava fields, but even so, 8" boots are a bit excessive. The fit also tends to chafe my toes after a while, and as I'm sure is apparent when looking at them, they don't breathe as well as I'd like.

I'm a dumb idiot who forgot September is still summer.
And also a few months ago I was dying to go on some sort of trip, and I've always wanted to go out west. I have some friends out there whose couch I can bum it on so I said "fuck it" and found the soonest, cheapest transport out there that wouldn't literally be in the hottest part of the year.
tl;dr I'm still a dumb idiot

So say I'm in the woods alone and have nothing except a loin cloth and a knife. What would my first steps be? If I had gear I'd set up the tent and then fire.

Night comes fast. Finding water may not come fast. So, make shelter first.

Shelter
Fire
Water
Food

Remember shelter may just be making proper clothing, but normally it will be making a lean-to shelter then clothing.

Better use of fire.

If it were winter then you'd want A-frame.

That's exactly what I did. The handle part came too loose to begin with. It took no effort for the head to drop down onto the shoulder. Simply put, the handle maker didn't leave any wood to work with. I guess people aren't apt to have to fit something properly and would rather have instant results.

Retards it's a tv show, infotainment to take with a grain of salt. After the filming is done they move on.

Man vs wild is fun to watch and generally speaking Bear is a cool dude. I like the athleticism aspect of his shows but realistically speaking people shouldn't rely on everything he says.
When he started bringing other people, mostly retards into his show I could not force myself to watch.

I applied to go on The Island with Bear Grylls and got turned down on the grounds that I have too many skills (I'm a registered nurse, I hunt and fish, I grew up on a farm, I was a Venture Scout and an Army Officer Cadet).

Why should I take anything he has to say seriously and bother wasting my time watching his bullshit when he is quite clearly a LARPer who drinks his own piss. This is why TV in general is a shit subversive medium, it puts your brain into an Alpha Wave state in which your mind is highly receptive and suggestible and instills into you a fantasy based mindset that it tries to pass off as authentic reality and your brain unconsciously accepts it due to its altered state.
