0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 3>The SECN. We're starting to be charity drive on the show.

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 3>It's called Adopted Jack. He's going to be home alone,

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:11.399
<v Speaker 3>him and his little two year old son.

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 4>I'll be fine, would you be?

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Have you got stuff planned?

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean just looking after him in general?

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:22.240
<v Speaker 4>On Saturday, that's a tick for that parent task Bomber's

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 4>first game on Saturday afternoons. Be invited to.

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 3>That r Yeah, I mean it's what every two year

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 3>old wants to do. Go and see that underwhelming team

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 3>back in action.

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.599
<v Speaker 4>But yes, I will be looking for suggestions of what

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 4>to do with a toddler when it's just your son

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 4>and you. But it's b Anchor. I'm worried about it

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 4>because she's doing this hike three night overnight hike camping.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 4>She never really camp before, and she.

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Walking with all the camp on her back.

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 4>She's got the proper pack, she's got a tent. Did

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 4>she brow from a neighbor, she got a new sleeping mat,

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 4>new boots.

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Now, yesterday when I asked you where was she hiking,

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 3>you had no idea other than a state. So she's

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 3>she's traversing New South Wales.

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Have you narrowed down a location?

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Minimurah It is on the south coast of New South Wales.

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Beauty in Nara.

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 4>So she's doing like a coastal walk camp situation for three.

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Nights, having a couple of buddies.

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 4>Yep, her work colleagues.

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's an amazing thing to do.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm just worried about her preparation because three months out

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 4>she was saying, I'll be doing a lot of you know,

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 4>the StairMaster at the gym. I'll carry Gordy on my

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 4>back around the park so I can get these used

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 4>to the way on my back. I haven't seen any

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 4>of that. And she leaves on Saturday. You're kidding. This

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 4>woman runs marathon.

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 5>I reckon.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 4>She's all right, she is fit. She ran a marathon

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 4>eight years ago. You can't hold onto that for training

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 4>for a free day hike.

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah wow. And so what about like boots walking boots?

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Has she warned those in otherwise you've got blisters first.

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 4>Time last night, that was just around the park, Like, oh,

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 4>my toad's a bit squished. This has not even been

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 4>twenty minutes. Twenty minutes, you're going to be wearing these

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 4>for three days.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Plus you've got all that camping get and plus whenever

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 3>you go like camping, you don't sleep very well.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>The moment it's.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 3>Light, you have to wake up because it's beaming through

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 3>that little tent and stuff like that.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>She's going to be wrecked.

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she's got all this confidence that, Ah no, I'll

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 4>be fine. Everyone else said, I'm over prepared.

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>If how how.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 3>Well you're alive, your heart's beating, you're good to go.

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 4>So did honor to do lesterdays? Go get new boots

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 4>or size up the boots because she.

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Felt that when did she start hiking?

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Saturday?

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>She flies.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 4>We drop her off at the airport eight o'clock on

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Saturday morning.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Boots all take time to wearing.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 4>In the wilderness by Saturday afternoon.

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Notice that like the socks, and that needs to be

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 3>warning when you buy new socks on that walking.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 4>I need people to say, like, if you are a hiker,

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 4>is she underprepared?

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 3>People will be listening to this. They can know she's okay,

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 3>she's all right. Nine four one four one o four three.

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 3>And if you ever been in a situation where you

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 3>were just terribly, terribly awfully underprepared, where you just had

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 3>no idea what you're taken on. This is the Christian

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 3>O'Connell show podcast. It's Jack Swife, Bianca under prepared. Three

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 3>day hike, three nights, yeah days, zero preparation would you say.

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 4>None besides the walk around the oval last night in.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 3>A new late too late, don't even bother late, not

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 3>doing anything, is it? And then getting brand new.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Boots today that's going to today?

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 3>This comes from Caitlyn Wallace listened to a show right now,

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Monicaid and Christian. I'ma as a Scout who's gone on

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 3>many night hikes and day hikes. The anchor is definitely

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 3>under prepared. I don't know the trials she is doing.

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't sound for miniar, so maybe the distance per

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 3>day isn't too bad.

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>But wearing boos you never won before is one of

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the biggest things you should never do. This comes from Scouts.

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 3>She also needs to make sure that she's got lots

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 3>of plasters for her feet. She will get cuts and

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 3>blisters if they are brand new boots.

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be agony for her. Let's get a Maddie here,

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Maddie underprepared.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm a little bit underprepared. Yeah, I mean I've been

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 5>hiking for about seven years now and also a Scout leader,

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 5>So if she were to have been wearing her boots

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 5>for about maybe a week prior, then that would have

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 5>been perfectly fine. I mean, as long as she wears

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 5>them within this week, then I reckon she'll be okay.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 5>It's honestly just a matter of making sure that she

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 5>brings a lot of blister pads and she brings a

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 5>heap of band aids as well. Fitness wise, I reckon

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 5>she's perfectly fine. If she goes for runs, then she

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 5>should be.

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>She is healthy. She is.

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 4>Maddy Rio suggested in the studio that you can buy

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 4>new boots and then wear them into the bath to

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 4>help them mold your foot. Have you ever heard of that.

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>You've never heard of that.

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 5>Personally, I've never done that. I've a pair of leather boots,

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 5>so don't really you want to do that. But honestly,

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 5>back in the day, I bought a pair of boots

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 5>last minute because mine was falling apart, wore them that

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 5>week for the hike, and I didn't get any blisters.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 5>If you double socks, there's one pair of skin socks

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 5>and one pair of hiking socks. Then that will actually

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 5>reduce the amount of blisters to get as well.

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 4>That's actually very helpful, Thank you, Mare.

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Maddy.

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 3>Do you recommend using Marino socks. That's what someone recommended

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>to me once. When you go hiking.

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't wear the hiking feet in anything else.

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. No, don't wear bamboo socks. Don't wear cotton socks.

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 5>Always stick to the natural fibers. They dry faster, they're breatheable,

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 5>They'll keep you warmer even when you get wet in them.

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 3>And Maddie, you can't buy these boots that are don't

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 3>take as much wearing in. I got some last year

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 3>when I went in Ireland. We were not walking eight

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 3>hours of day and the guy saw me boots that

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 3>said they were pre broken in.

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I bought them.

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if someone in that sweatshop, but you

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 3>know the little to run around in the mature the

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 3>London bring or something, he said they were broken.

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>It's so you're the greatest salesman I've ever heard.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 5>That brings alarm bells for me. If some shoes already

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 5>broken in, then that tells me that the shoe is

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 5>not going to be appropriate for your fo.

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to scout alarm bells.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 4>That's one of the badges they got, get alarm and

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 4>read what words?

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Maddie, thank you very much your help. That's okay, all right? Andy?

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>When were you under prepared? Mate? Good morning and yeah,

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>good morning. Yes.

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>We went on an eighteen week trip board to wet

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 2>western Australian Northern territories last year and I will very

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>well prepared with the crocs. And and we the through

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the national parks were in minimum high did with about

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>three kilometers maximums about ten kilometers. And the parks over

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 2>there are not flat, they're all over rotten.

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Boarding, bloody lazy w way where they flat? When these

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>was something for us.

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 4>Now I like to be an advocate for crocs, but

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 4>even imitation.

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Hiking where they are great, you know. And there was

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 2>one or two people looked at me a bit strange.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why, because I had my shopping bag

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>as well with me water.

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean a shopping What do you mean

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:26.280

<v Speaker 3>Back?

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Are your bag for lying for someone?

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:32.760
