Slipped and fell on snow/ice in the mountain area I was hiking today

Pretty sure if I brake a hand or leg I may be fucked and I'll freeze to death out there wont I??

How do you stay safe? I literally fell about 6 times flat on my back or on my side..

You probably should have turned around after the first fall and realized you are not prepared for this. Any advice in this thread is wasted on a retard like you.

6 times? Really dude. Follow the advice in >>1195785 or >>1195614. Conditions were too poor to be /out/ there or you need to learn to walk.

If you're in a situation serious enough that a fall means death, you probably want to take some sort of emergency transponder. Crampons, ice axes and/or hiking poles, and emergency shelter also. Don't be a statistic man. Also, always tell someone where you're going and how long it'll take. Amazing how many missing persons cases would never have gotten out of hand had the person just called their mom before heading out.

dude

It was downhill slope with snow everywhere, plus my boots are shit and not meant to be out there on that terrain.

I have some new gear coming, I'm going out again next week

This is my weekly ritual now, I'm going out into the woods everyweek

op here

honesty you guys are "worried" about the wrong thing

the worst of it all was hiking uphill and barely being able to breath, and blood pressure was through the roof since uphill climb in the mountains with a 35lb pack is legit heavy

Fuck falling, I'll be alright but I need to work on my conditioning, literally gassed and out of breath once I reached the top, had to rest for like 5 minutes up there...

Cycling is great for cardio and building quad/ham strength, plus it's less stress on your joints and more fun imo than jogging around the neighborhood. Try cycling to work a couple times a week or just recreationally on the weekends. Otherwise, doing dayhikes with some weight on your back is a good way to get fit. Honestly though, getting winded walking uphill with 35lbs isn't unusual or surprising, just make sure and stretch and eat well when you're done and before you go to sleep each night so the next morning isn't hell.

If you are falling it is a pretty big warning sign that something is wrong with you. That's either your lack of experience, lack of focus, impaired mental faculty, and/or level of tiredness. It is never the environment. You need to go with someone else who is experienced. You need to take breaks often and access each of the 4 things mentioned above and estimate what your halfway point may be based on that assessment. Ask yourself if you need to turn back now, make camp and rest, etc.

Keep in mind that, "lack of experience," will mean everything from how to step & move to having the wrong equipment or not enough equipment. Anytime you fuck up, even in the slightest, you need to very seriously access why you fucked up.

Judging from what I've seen of people's handwritten spelling from that area, it must be a nightmare. I bet using something like 'Dragon NaturallySpeaking' speech-to-text would be impossible.

That's overkill and try hard judging by what op is talking about. Microspikes and a trekking pole would probably be better suited.

Had a good time out there, still cold out there

Anyway, have some good news .I found a few more trail hikes this week and will be looking forward to this years /out/ adventures
The boots I bought actually held up nice and didn't slip on snow/ice

Problem is i found some spots which look really nice but i may have to hike out there and cant take the truck

Anyway, we should really have a post your out story thread so I dont keep coming to this thread. Also, don't assume you can go anywhere, some spots get cold very fast. Amazing, truly amazing how cold it can get up in those mountains

It must be appropriate to its use.
Classical alpinism or technical alpinism?
B or T rating?
Straight handle or curved (which means you'll use 2 of them)?

Crampons if you are in a sustained ice environment like a glacier, msr snowshoes are good in snow with some ice or packed snow. Yaktracks are good in places with mixed dirt, packed snow and ice. Also ok for icy pavement.
