  • hikenpod Montana Episode 3

    Hello again from Montana, everyone! I

    finally got my butt out the door and onto the trail. The Swamp Dawg,
    Molly and myself got out on the southwest side of the Bridger Mountains
    in Bozeman/Belgrade Montana and went up Truman Gulch. Location information: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/custergallatin/recarea/?recid=81168

    We have had such little snow in the valley that I did this one in my boots instead of skis, skins or snowshoes. However,
    there was quite a bit of snow up there, and this was before we just got
    dumped on again (stay tuned: some actual skinning in future episodes
    may actually be possible!) Molly and I got chilly, I realized I made at
    least 3 significant errors in planning judgement, and we came back down.We ended up just under 5 miles, but you'll hear how deep the snow was with me crunching through it on the mic.I am certainly going to be more prepared next time and bring Molly's jacket!If you have other ideas about essentials I need to bring on my hikes, please let me know. I'd be grateful. 
    Thanks for listening and we'll see you a little further down the trail.

  • The 11th Hour

    Join me as walk along a cold and wet Southend seafront as I just about make the deadline for this week's podcast.

    The walk was fun and quiet and recorder raised the volume of the traffic but there was hardly anyone around, a real treat.

    Recorded on the Tascamm DR-40x, edited on Reaper Audio on the Rasberry pi 5 using Ubuntu 23, monitored on Audio Technica headphones.

  • No hike n just pod episode

    Listen in where I contradict myself on every sentence. So no podcast on the hike this week, a hike with no audio and me explaining why.

    I am getting ready for the next big hike in two weeks. So all the hikes until then will be local and covering old ground (pardon the pun).

    This is a lovely walk if you have time to do it and the pay off is exciting.

    Record on the Tascam DR- 40x edited on Reaper using the raspberry pi 5.

  • Around Mersea Island... this time all the way round!

    This is my second trip in fours years to Mersea island in Essex, it

    is roughly 22km all the way round.

    It took me four

    hours to complete with only a couple of minor muddy areas and this
    winter time.

    I drove for an hour

    and 15 to get there and the weather was fresh but clear. The island
    was quite quiet but I did manage to speak to one person who was
    walking her dog along the beach.

    I am considering

    going back in the spring and camping, a very enjoyable afternoon
    walk.

    OnePlus Nord and Tascam dr40x – edited and published on a raspberry

  • The plan, the gear, the skins - hikenpod Montana

    In this episode, I discuss my ideas about where Hikenpod Montana might go while testing out my two recording devices. 

    • Tascam DR-44WL 
    • Yamaha Pocketrak 2G. 

      • I think, decidedly, the Tascam won out over the Yamaha in the sound department. In

      this episode's photos you'll see both of the devices sitting on my desk
      and my silent cohost, Babycat. She was very quiet, although she did a
      few laps around the basement while I was editing the show.

    • Back to the start - West Cornwall

      Marazion to Penzance in west Cornwall.

      I return to the place of the very first hikenpod and walk along the south west coast path in the wind with a cough.

      It's a bout a 3 mile mile on the flat, with some beach cover if you are interested. You get an amazing view of St Michael's mount and St Michael's bay, with a distant vista of Lizard point.

      The hike took a couple of hours and I wasn't trying, there is a video of the walk on youtube if you have time.


      Thanks for listening

      hikenpod Montana: Pete's Hill, Bozeman with the Gallatin Valley Veterinarian Support Group

      What a lovely morning with my family and the Gallatin Valley

      Veterinarian Support Group out on Pete's Hill in Bozeman, Montana. We
      did this hike just before Christmas, 2023.This
      is a great little hike that's almost right in town. You could walk from
      much of the Bozeman lodging and hotels. It's steep-ish, but not too
      bad. You can make it a short hike or extend almost as long as you like
      to different trails in town called Highway to the Mountains. And it's
      dog-friendly (as you can see, we brought ours.)We cut ours a little short when we found a friend's dog who'd gotten out and was about 9 blocks from their home.And
      Jamie, my wife, a.k.a. Dr. Arndt, is a Veterinarian in town and started
      a support group for area Veterinarians. Their profession suffers from
      abnormally high rates of depression, drug abuse and suicide due to the
      high demands physically, mentallly, and emotionally on them. The
      Gallatin Valley Veterinarian Support Group hold events like these to
      bring local veterinarians together to share struggles and build
      community.If you're a veterinarian in the Gallatin Valley area, I recommend popping over to the Facebook Group page to join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1498119201004250 Next
      time, I think we'll do a skinning, snowboard and snowshoe trip to the
      South Bridger Mountains which is basically out my front door. Get in
      touch if there are trails I absolutely cannot miss in Bozeman or the
      Gallatin Valley. Thank you for listening!
