25.01.2022 10 min core workout in this blog post -----> If you’re new to hiking and looking to improve your overall health and fitness, and you’re wondering how core strength relates to hiking, then you might be interested in these observations that I’ve made over the better part of a decade of working with hikers to improve their core strength and overall ability to go further and faster into the mountains.

24.01.2022 Here is the first Endurance Review - the concept of understand how certain gear stands up to the test of time and use in the mountains. Not paid for by anyone, just my (Chase's) honest opinion on what gear is worth buying. Check out the rest of the video here: https://buff.ly/2CCV1zh

15.01.2022 The Freedom of the Hills That was the book that changed my life. Long before I was a ‘mountaineer’ i was definitely an ‘armchair mountaineer’. I read every book about climbing big mountains that I could get my hands on. Particularly books about Everest and the tragedies and heroism. I was encapsulated by the romanticism of it all. But Freedom of the Hills isn’t a story. It’s an instruction booklet on how to be a climber. It has just about everything you need to know to go int...o the mountains safely. Of course you need to put these things in practise in real life with other more experienced people but it really helps just to read! Especially to freshen up the knowledge in between trips. Definitely recommended for the armchair mountaineer who wants to move into the real deal.

15.01.2022 Here is an 8 minute follow along core stability routine that you can do every day in order to build core strength, stability and balance. If you find any of these movements challenging or impossible, or you want to do more workouts that are designed for mountain athletes, check out the Elements Program - it's still only $10 //ELEMENTS PROGRAM ($10) https://bit.ly/Elements-Program... // GOT QUESTIONS?

15.01.2022 THIS... is a problem we have the capacity to solve.... Andrea Ursina Zimmerman, an expedition guide who reached Everest's peak in 2016, says that many "traffic jams" are caused by unprepared climbers who "do not have the physical condition" for the journey. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48401491

15.01.2022 4 basic things you want to do when you collect water in the mountains. 1. Ideally find a spring that comes directly out of the ground, it will be naturally filtered by the earth. 2. If not, collect from as high upstream as possible. Ask yourself if it's likely that a dead animal is lying in creek upstream? That's not good for your health. ... 3. Boil the water for at least 2 minutes. Boil it longer as you ascend in altitude. (Water boils at lower temps at altitude) 4. Throw a micropur tab in for every litre to make sure you kill all the nasty's. Finally, make sure you look suspiciously at the water like I am in this photo, despite the knowledge that the appearance of the water gives no real indication of its suitability to drink - you gotta have a good look at it.

14.01.2022 Getting to know these valleys one at a time...

14.01.2022 If you’re looking to prevent altitude sickness, watch this!! Should you take altitude sickness medication like Diamox or Acetazolamide? In this video I cover the pros and cons, including the side effects of diamox, the recommended dosage and the reasons why many experienced climbers and trekkers refuse to take it.

Please feel free to join the Trekking FAQs facebook group. I post extra content here that doesn't make it to YouTube, and you can post photos, videos, ask questions and interact with other trekkers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Creep on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chase_mountains ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi guys my name is Chase Tucker and I'm a online personal trainer, trek leader and creator of Base Camp Training and the YouTube Channel that this video was made for. If you're planning on doing a trek or climb above 300m (9000 ft) then the information in this video could really help you prevent altitude sickness. There are a lot of misconceptions about altitude and diamox and in this video I aim to clear them up! I created this channel to share what I've learnt over a short lifetime of loving the wilderness and what it has to offer. I'm passionate about preparing people, fitness wise, to have a great time in the mountains and to show them that it's worth preserving for the future.

12.01.2022 What goes up, must come down. That’s why you should train for not just the uphill part but the downhill too, in facts that’s where most of the accidents happen. So if you want to get back to your girlfriend / partner / family / family sized pizza or ice cold brewski without hurting yaself...... Do the work!

09.01.2022 Not all lunges are equal - slight changes in your posture and weight distribution can make huuuge differences in the effectiveness of a movement. Take this robot lunge for example: (I called it robot lunge because it reminds me of some AI robot trying to move like a human.) I've recently changed the way I do bodyweight reverse lunges to this very upright style for 3 reasons: 1. It loads the back leg up with way more weight, meaning I can do more with less - why train in the g...ym with weights when I could train in this magical spot and make the most of my body? 2. It gives a bonus hip flexor stretch on each rep, something that I (and probably you) desperately need. 3. This move doesn't allow lazy reps, you must pay attention to each rep in order to get the full benefit - I like that value exchange based on being present. Training is the one hour or so each day when I don't have to think about work, so being present in each movement is a relief in a way. If you want the freedom to bust out a good workout at home with no equipment then hit me up, I've got a lovely little 20 minute bodyweight only routine I can share with you fo freee!! Also Keep in mind I'm a YouTube video kind of guy and I'm not used to formatting my videos to fit into Instagram land, if you think this doesn't suck too bad and you'd like me to post more stuff like this let me know

08.01.2022 Have you ever wasted money on something that just wasn’t right for you, and then you were stuck with it? It sucks! I want to prevent that! I would hate for a person to decide they were not an outdoorsy type just because of a shitty pair of socks, or a badly fitting pair of boots.... But the thing is, so few outdoor stores actually have staff who know what they’re talking about these days. It’s pretty rare to find a keen hiker or climber, especially in the large chain outdoor stores... So instead of wasting $200 or $300 or more on boots or a backpack that doesn’t suit you, you should do some research before buying right?? But that takes aaaages, unless.... it was all in one place... in a 35 page PDF that is totally free and available right here -------->http://bit.ly/essentialsgearguide So I just released that very ebook that is designed for the newbie hiker/ mountaineer who is just getting their first few pieces of hiking gear. The book is totally free because I want everyone to have this information! I want more people to get out any enjoy the hills, I want this world to have more hikers, because hikers are generally good, chill people who care about the planet. We need more of them I think! So whether you’re a new hiker yourself, or maybe you’re trying to convince a friend or family member that it’s not so painful and pointless and can actually be fun and incredibly rewarding... get this PDF! Get that knowledge!! and start loving your time in the mountains! Tag a friend who's a newbie who knows nuthin'

07.01.2022 There's a sentiment in the hiking community that Ultralight hiking is somehow dangerous, irresponsible and expensive.

I also give you 5 questions to ask yourself when packing, in order to cull weight safely. Links I mention in this video:...

03.01.2022 If you don't know this guy yet you sure will very soon. nims dai has achieved something so incredible, it's hard to believe it will ever be topped. He has climbed all 14 eight thousand metre peaks in only 7 months. That makes him the most effective and dedicated high altitude mountaineer of all time in my mind in my opinion... I mean, name someone if you know anyone more accomplished in this niche of climbing... I'm sure this is Nepal's proudest moment since Tenzing summited ...Everest. What do you guys think? Congratulations dai!! #projectpossible #mountainfit #congratulations
