love your videos very educational. and motivated now. thanks girly
im lucky i live on a gravel road with more tractors than cars i can camp or test equipment in my back yard…
Great video!🌻💛
I don’t minds people packing music to listen to, but please always remind people that this does not mean it’s ok to blast your tunes over a blue tooth speaker. Nobody wants to listen to your music. People go out into the woods to commune with nature and get away from the modern world. A lot of newbie hikers don’t understand this and become super annoying on trail, as a result. Use headphones of some sort and keep the volume low enough so only you can hear it. Consider using only one earbud when on trail, so you can still be fully aware of, and react to, your surroundings.
Next trip I want to bring a very small knitting project like socks or gloves to enjoy while I’m at camp 😊
do you ever bring protection hiking?
I enjoy these types of videos. I like hiking and camping a lot.
Lovely tips, nicely elaborated and overall presentation is simply enjoyable! 👏👏

I love your videos so much because of your authenticity!
Great beginner info. TY. I have done the car camping and also hiked solo, but never backpacked solo.
I’m working up my courage to go alone. Videos like this are what I need! Thanks 🙂
Did my first solo trip 8 years ago because I wanted to take my 12 year old son in the future and thought I should be able to do this alone before taking him with me. He is 20 now and still joins me but I really enjoy solo hikes
I wish you were in NZ😂
I’m not a girl do you have any maore ideas
Love your videos and the idea of your course. 💚I’m already a solo backpacking gal, and currently planning a 4-6 day trip on the East Beach Trail here on my home of Haida Gwaii, BC. If you ever make it up here, hit me up! Some amazing hiking to be had! 🙂
Where is the trail/area at 4:44? Breathtaking.
My back can’t handle the weight. I so I do it with a Burly trailer from my bicycle.
I’m sorry if you’ve answered this before but as I recall, you enjoy hiking solo for the time alone; how do you manage your interractions with other hikers when you are actually solo hiking, end up at camp with others and just want to be left alone?
The Hungry Hiker at it again! My girlfriend likes watching your videos with me. Keep ‘em up and stay bad@$&!
im actually so scared
