Hello, welcome to another episode of Pop Bear Hikes.

Over the last several months I've received questions about foot care, specifically blisters.

I haven't addressed it head on on the podcast or done an episode, but I think I haven't

been counting them.

I've done enough now that I think it's an issue that we need to talk about.

We need to discuss, because nothing can really slow you down or take away from the fun

of your hike than just something like a small blister.

Because every time you step, it's there to remind you, right, and if you don't take

care of it, it just keeps getting worse.

So we're going to talk a little bit about foot care and possibly how to prevent blisters.

It seems like, and I'm basing this on my own knowledge, and my own experiences talking

to other hikers and what I've read, in addition to the emails and messages I've received

about blisters, there are, I'm not going to say a lot, but a number of different approaches

people take to blister prevention.

But not so many that it's overwhelming and not so many that we're not able to narrow

down what might be the most effective, and I personally think it comes down to what works

best for you.
