35 here, have had both knees replaced already.
>turns out jumping out of an airplane with 120lbs of shit strapped to you riding a chute designed to drop 150lbs total juuuust slow enough to not break bones for 10 years is bad for you
But anyway: Knee braces (I preferred the patellar strap back when mine were real), glucosamine, not doing stupid shit, not being a lardass, and wearing proper footwear (don't try to haul 80lb packs up a mountain in trail runners; don't try to run in combat boots).

27, been active duty US Army for 7.5 years, no knee issues at all, absolute shitloads of running with a heavy ruck in the past, but not so much these last couple years. I've noticed that my peers have way more problems than I do with literally everything. Knees, shoulders, failing organs, whatever. I'm a strict vegan, don't smoke, abstain from alcohol, occasionally do yoga, and I'm at a healthy body fat percentage (12%). It's probably a combination of all of those things. I'm not sure if the veganism matters so much other than it just keeping me from eating bullshit food, but I feel great ever since I started it.

Just take care of yourself during downtime. Get up and move, don't put poison in your body. It's not too late for you.

21 with arthrosis since 18. I fucking LOVE genetics.
But don't force yourself, use proper shoes, eat plenty of collagen rich foods and don't have rotten genes.

shitshow incoming, but honestly trekking poles. i fucked up one of my knees a couple years ago and had a choice to either break down my pride and get poles or lose an entire /out/ season rehabbing. that was easy fucking math right there.
>inb4 stick
sticks don't have wrist straps to disperse the load, or carbide tips, and aren't collapsible when you don't need them.

Are there methods to but wraps around you knees or anything? Besides trekking poles? Also are heavier shoes worse for your back or knees? Cause rthe saying 1lb on your foot is 5lb on your back. But does that effect the knee as well?

Decade in the 82nd yeah. Combat jumps twice a week for 4 years, then 15 months in the Afghani mountains humping ~130lbs of shit with worn out issued boots, then combat jumps weekly interspersed with 2-3x hollywood jumps for another 4 years.

I'm 25 with a bad right knee. Damaged it years back dropping a vickers gun on it then got it fixes only to damage it again running 2 months back. Currently in physio for it, and hoping it won't affect my military application.

go see a professional and find out what the actual issue is. I had awful knee trouble in my mid 25s. Turns out riding a track bike 80-100 miles a day for three years as a messenger and doing little other exercise had developed my legs muscles in a wierd way as well as tightening my IT bands to some horrid level. This meant that when I quit working on the bike and started to hike again my knees would hurt so much. I went to a fizz-eo and in one session she gave a set of exercises and stretches to do. Now I have almost 0 knee trouble and hike 1000s miles a year with no issue.

I don’t want to pay for this fatty’s knee surgery. My job pays for my whole family’s healthcare and I don’t need massive taxes to pay for someone else’s poor life choices. Way to argue against your own point you stupid socialist Europoor.

52. Knees bother me, but not unbearable
Do backpacking trips of >70 miles most summers, including this summer
I still do talus and scree
Downhill is always a problem, but I slow down and place my feet carefully
I use a hiking pole
I bring 2 pairs of socks and wash a pair daily to keep them fluffy
At home I rotate my sneakers so that I don't wear the same pair every day and toss out the oldest pair every 4 months
I have walked at least a mile every day for the past 25+ years
I do my shopping by foot, so I carry a heavy load on my back at least once a week
I take MSM and glucosamine occasionally
Hope some of this helps

Definitely the sunsets over the mountains, particularly in winter. Very reminiscent of the Rockies, but with much fewer manmade interruptions.

We'd try to shoot the indigenous mountain goats for food, both because we were under supplied and to break the monotony of First Strike rations. Not much funnier than watching a whole squad open up on a lone goat on the opposite mountain some 1300m away because they're starving.

Are heavier shoes worse for your knees like backpacking boots? Or worse for your back? I know there are studies that say 1lb on your feet is 5lb on your back, which makes the saying true.
How do compression knee socks work or a ankle brace? Will they lessen the load or what? Hiking poles help mitigate the impact on your knees so that's also another way to help prevent knee injureis. But will knee compression socks or knee braces help extend the life and lessen the impact on your knees?
