>My longest hike ever, 55km+
>Battery dies
>Only have half of the data, it didn't save the first 30km
Any way to recover the info?
The last 27km I was averaging 4.6km/h with a little less than 1000m elevation gain and I'm really curious about the first part because I fairly sure I had better numbers.

>Tfw you pushed yourself and hiked your harsher hike but don't have the data to analyze your stats

So before fitness trackers no one ever improved their physical fitness? Let go of your neurotic fixation you dumb faggot, this situation was causality trying to tell you it doesn't fucking matter.

Thanks la.

>>1587925
Anon you do you, personally I like to follow my progress, specially if I'm hiking solo and going hard, if you don't well it's all good too. That day my legs were feeling really good so I kept going, I just want to see if my sensations reflect themselves in good numbers.
Happy trails.

>>1587937
Phone is really dead, 75% charge and turns off. Now I have to decide if I buy a new one or a new pair of hiking shoes first.

Going to >>1587935 and ask them about that too.

With out getting all boomer on you, this is a great example of how you'd be much better off investing the time and effort into learning to use a paper map and paper data sheets. Dead reckoning is a super easy skill to learn and will allow you to keep track of this sort of thing in your head or on paper. Both of which are much less likely to suffer from these sorts of issues. They are also vital skills if you want to start going further /out/ or places that are difficult to navigate in.

Literally the only reason to track data is so you can brag to your reddit pals. You already know what you did, be satisfied with that you attention seeking faggot.

Andrew Skurka has some really simple videos that introduce you to the principles. After watching those it's much more about getting out and practicing than reading books. If you really want to learn quickly then look for a course. I don't know of any off the top of my head. In Sept I am going to CO to learn from Skurka so will post here if it's worth the money.

It's of fundamental importance if you are trying to plan a hike. If you don't have an accurate idea of how long it will take to cross a certain type of terrain how on earth are you going to know how many days food to pack. It's even more important when it comes to planning water needs in arid areas.

That's the dealio anon, I'm a europoor and both places to practice and /out/ courses are scarce, plus their quality is doubtful and I would much rather watch someone on ytb than throwing shekels away.
Also I have probably watched everything that Skurka has on ytb by now.

Nice goal post moving. One second keep track of the information is the issue, the next it's how you do it. Make your mind up. Or are you just looking for chance to throw the epic reddit insult around so you can feel better about yourself?

Nice mental gymnastics and straw man faggot. The original point is that you're a larping attention seeking faggot. My original comment was that you are tracking to brag to your reddit friends, using a map and a watch is more accurate and efficient, but doesn't allow you to show off to your reddit friends. I've met some brain dead fucks in my time, but you sure do take the whole God damned cake there you gluttonous fuck.

Your map tells you how far you've walked, and your watch tells you how long that took. And is more accurate than your phones gps.

Well if you're in Scandinavia I'm sure there are, it has a strong /out/ tradition but not where I live. This local ytber had decent content but ot was mostly 360p shit lmao, plus the military background and way of speaking is annoying af, I imagine that it would be someone alike giving these types of orienteering courses, not someone of an expedition/exploring/hiking background.

Most people go out to brag on some level. The old timey explorers wouldn't have dragged their tweed covered selves up mountains and not told anyone about it.

One of poor parts of it, traveling for a class is kinda fancy, might be worth if it has some camping or other /out/ events associated with it.

Dead reckoning seems super simple when he explains it, but it's a really, really handle thing to be able to do without thinking about it.

Also the compass stuff seems kinda simple looking, but this is just the start, you can get pretty deep into compass nav and there are some real ninjas out there. Honestly navigating off a compass and paper is easier than a GPS. I got really lazy over the last two years and just used GPS. I found I kept getting off route when travelling off trail routes. But when I went back to using a compass and map I felt much more "located" and as I was always building a mental image of where I had been, where I was, and where I going, travelling became less stressful
