00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 4: I'll be fine, would you be?

7
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Have you got stuff planned?

8
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 5: No?

9
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 4: Well, I mean just looking after him in general?

10
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

11
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 4: On Saturday, that's a tick for that parent task Bomber's

12
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 4: first game on Saturday afternoons. Be invited to.

13
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: That r Yeah, I mean it's what every two year

14
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: old wants to do. Go and see that underwhelming team

15
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 3: back in action.

16
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 4: But yes, I will be looking for suggestions of what

17
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 4: to do with a toddler when it's just your son

18
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 4: and you. But it's b Anchor. I'm worried about it

19
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 4: because she's doing this hike three night overnight hike camping.

20
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 4: She never really camp before, and she.

21
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Walking with all the camp on her back.

22
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 4: She's got the proper pack, she's got a tent. Did

23
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: she brow from a neighbor, she got a new sleeping mat,

24
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: new boots.

25
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: Now, yesterday when I asked you where was she hiking,

26
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: you had no idea other than a state. So she's

27
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: she's traversing New South Wales.

28
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Have you narrowed down a location?

29
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: Minimurah It is on the south coast of New South Wales.

30
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Beauty in Nara.

31
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: So she's doing like a coastal walk camp situation for three.

32
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Nights, having a couple of buddies.

33
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 4: Yep, her work colleagues.

34
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: Oh, that's an amazing thing to do.

35
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 4: I'm just worried about her preparation because three months out

36
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: she was saying, I'll be doing a lot of you know,

37
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 4: the StairMaster at the gym. I'll carry Gordy on my

38
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 4: back around the park so I can get these used

39
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 4: to the way on my back. I haven't seen any

40
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 4: of that. And she leaves on Saturday. You're kidding. This

41
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: woman runs marathon.

42
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 5: I reckon.

43
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 4: She's all right, she is fit. She ran a marathon

44
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 4: eight years ago. You can't hold onto that for training

45
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: for a free day hike.

46
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah wow. And so what about like boots walking boots?

47
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: Has she warned those in otherwise you've got blisters first.

48
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: Time last night, that was just around the park, Like, oh,

49
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: my toad's a bit squished. This has not even been

50
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: twenty minutes. Twenty minutes, you're going to be wearing these

51
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: for three days.

52
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: Plus you've got all that camping get and plus whenever

53
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 3: you go like camping, you don't sleep very well.

54
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: The moment it's.

55
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: Light, you have to wake up because it's beaming through

56
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: that little tent and stuff like that.

57
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: She's going to be wrecked.

58
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's got all this confidence that, Ah no, I'll

59
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: be fine. Everyone else said, I'm over prepared.

60
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: If how how.

61
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: Well you're alive, your heart's beating, you're good to go.

62
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: So did honor to do lesterdays? Go get new boots

63
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: or size up the boots because she.

64
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: Felt that when did she start hiking?

65
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: Saturday?

66
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: She flies.

67
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: We drop her off at the airport eight o'clock on

68
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: Saturday morning.

69
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: Boots all take time to wearing.

70
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: In the wilderness by Saturday afternoon.

71
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: Notice that like the socks, and that needs to be

72
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: warning when you buy new socks on that walking.

73
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: I need people to say, like, if you are a hiker,

74
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: is she underprepared?

75
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: People will be listening to this. They can know she's okay,

76
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: she's all right. Nine four one four one o four three.

77
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: And if you ever been in a situation where you

78
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: were just terribly, terribly awfully underprepared, where you just had

79
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: no idea what you're taken on. This is the Christian

80
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: O'Connell show podcast. It's Jack Swife, Bianca under prepared. Three

81
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: day hike, three nights, yeah days, zero preparation would you say.

82
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: None besides the walk around the oval last night in.

83
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: A new late too late, don't even bother late, not

84
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: doing anything, is it? And then getting brand new.

85
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: Boots today that's going to today?

86
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: This comes from Caitlyn Wallace listened to a show right now,

87
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: Monicaid and Christian. I'ma as a Scout who's gone on

88
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: many night hikes and day hikes. The anchor is definitely

89
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: under prepared. I don't know the trials she is doing.

90
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound for miniar, so maybe the distance per

91
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: day isn't too bad.

92
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: But wearing boos you never won before is one of

93
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the biggest things you should never do. This comes from Scouts.

94
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: She also needs to make sure that she's got lots

95
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: of plasters for her feet. She will get cuts and

96
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: blisters if they are brand new boots.

97
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be agony for her. Let's get a Maddie here,

98
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Maddie underprepared.

99
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit underprepared. Yeah, I mean I've been

100
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 5: hiking for about seven years now and also a Scout leader,

101
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: So if she were to have been wearing her boots

102
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 5: for about maybe a week prior, then that would have

103
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 5: been perfectly fine. I mean, as long as she wears

104
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: them within this week, then I reckon she'll be okay.

105
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 5: It's honestly just a matter of making sure that she

106
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: brings a lot of blister pads and she brings a

107
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 5: heap of band aids as well. Fitness wise, I reckon

108
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: she's perfectly fine. If she goes for runs, then she

109
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 5: should be.

110
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: She is healthy. She is.

111
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 4: Maddy Rio suggested in the studio that you can buy

112
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: new boots and then wear them into the bath to

113
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 4: help them mold your foot. Have you ever heard of that.

114
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: You've never heard of that.

115
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 5: Personally, I've never done that. I've a pair of leather boots,

116
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: so don't really you want to do that. But honestly,

117
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 5: back in the day, I bought a pair of boots

118
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 5: last minute because mine was falling apart, wore them that

119
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 5: week for the hike, and I didn't get any blisters.

120
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: If you double socks, there's one pair of skin socks

121
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 5: and one pair of hiking socks. Then that will actually

122
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 5: reduce the amount of blisters to get as well.

123
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: That's actually very helpful, Thank you, Mare.

124
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: Maddy.

125
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 3: Do you recommend using Marino socks. That's what someone recommended

126
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: to me once. When you go hiking.

127
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Don't wear the hiking feet in anything else.

128
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, don't wear bamboo socks. Don't wear cotton socks.

129
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 5: Always stick to the natural fibers. They dry faster, they're breatheable,

130
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 5: They'll keep you warmer even when you get wet in them.

131
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: And Maddie, you can't buy these boots that are don't

132
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: take as much wearing in. I got some last year

133
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: when I went in Ireland. We were not walking eight

134
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: hours of day and the guy saw me boots that

135
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: said they were pre broken in.

136
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: I bought them.

137
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if someone in that sweatshop, but you

138
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: know the little to run around in the mature the

139
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: London bring or something, he said they were broken.

140
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: It's so you're the greatest salesman I've ever heard.

141
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 5: That brings alarm bells for me. If some shoes already

142
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 5: broken in, then that tells me that the shoe is

143
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 5: not going to be appropriate for your fo.

144
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: We don't want to scout alarm bells.

145
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: That's one of the badges they got, get alarm and

146
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 4: read what words?

147
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: Maddie, thank you very much your help. That's okay, all right? Andy?

148
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: When were you under prepared? Mate? Good morning and yeah,

149
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: good morning. Yes.

150
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: We went on an eighteen week trip board to wet

151
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: western Australian Northern territories last year and I will very

152
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: well prepared with the crocs. And and we the through

153
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: the national parks were in minimum high did with about

154
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: three kilometers maximums about ten kilometers. And the parks over

155
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: there are not flat, they're all over rotten.

156
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: Boarding, bloody lazy w way where they flat? When these

157
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: was something for us.

158
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: Now I like to be an advocate for crocs, but

159
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: even imitation.

160
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,360
