Hiking Guy: Don't Get Lost - Hiking Safety and Navigation Tips
Episode 3
Thursday, 20 November, 2025
In this episode of the Rise and Wander podcast, I am joined by guest Cris, known as 'hiking guy.' We discuss the comprehensive preparation needed for safe and enjoyable hiking. Key topics include the use of GPS units, the value of understanding trail elevations, the difference between satellite communicators and GPS devices, and the significance of planning and preparation. We emphasize the practical steps hikers can take to ensure safety such as carrying paper maps, using offline maps, having satellite communicators or personal locator beacons, and the critical aspect of discernment in decision-making while on trails. We also address the necessity of having backup power for electronic devices and share personal stories to highlight these safety measures. The episode concludes with a philosophical touch, encouraging hikers to listen to their inner GPS and be conservative with risk-taking on hikes.
