    First supply video I have seen that mentions TP. I enjoy your videos. Very informative. Getting back into day and overnight packing/ camping after a way to long of break.

    I watch this video every time I go backpacking as a reminder in case I forget to pack something.

    Hi Miranda, thanks for providing such quality content. Because you, I was able to overcome my fear of going camping and backpacking; however, I would like your suggestions on how much water to carry on a 3 miles backpack trail in which I plan to spend 2 nights without a nearby water source and what is an effective way to carry water on the trail?

  9. @brunoabrial3441 on March 22, 2025 at 1:25 am

  24. @Life_Improbable on March 22, 2025 at 1:44 am

  26. @outdooroutfitters3658 on March 22, 2025 at 1:45 am

    Very informative! Thanks for sharing.

  27. @shaqsoda9627 on March 22, 2025 at 1:48 am

    No knife?

  28. @jdahik97 on March 22, 2025 at 1:49 am

    I’d say as far as deodorant goes, get a travel size, and keep it in the bear canister. Problem solved. Along with Duluth trading company shower wipes.

  29. @doncarpenter9941 on March 22, 2025 at 1:49 am

    Question Miranda are you going to try Canada Trans Continentl hikeing trail in Canada 🇨🇦.

  30. @jakefitzhugh7864 on March 22, 2025 at 1:54 am

  31. @seethetruth3795 on March 22, 2025 at 1:55 am

  32. @russelllieser4226 on March 22, 2025 at 1:55 am

  33. @iFNhU on March 22, 2025 at 1:55 am

  37. @chefhitsdafan6457 on March 22, 2025 at 1:58 am

    REI is going out of business….net loss of hundred of millions of dollars last year. They are closing stores and laying off employees

  38. @AF-tv6uf on March 22, 2025 at 2:00 am

    This is her show gosh darn.

  39. @karenpolansky9097 on March 22, 2025 at 2:01 am

    I know you posted this three years ago, but I wanted to tell you how much of a help you’ve been to me. I feel like you’re my friend telling me all the things I needed to know for my first solo backpacking trip. I did as you said and kept it simple. Had a great time, even with the thunderstorm that delayed my supper. I just used it as a pre dinner nap time! Thanks again!

    So I don’t know if it’s just my upbringing but when I imagine hiking I think of it as a day walk. When I search it though people describe what I call “camping” which can include walking but it’s when you stay overnight.

  42. @andreareidy7223 on March 22, 2025 at 2:06 am

    Can’t see link for packing list

  43. @leftydiablo on March 22, 2025 at 2:07 am

    Thank you. Very informative.

  44. @bt5294 on March 22, 2025 at 2:07 am

    How large of a bag is required for all this stuff?

  45. @MeMe-cd1wy on March 22, 2025 at 2:08 am

    What does your fully loaded pack weigh? That stuff looks heavy. Since this is REI, would be nice to teach people to lighten up so they will keep backpacking. Video is obviously for a new backpacker. It would be helpful to help find equipment in REI lineup that is light. Bear spray maybe, holster to put it in, no, too heavy. Use backpack pocket.

  46. @Zei33 on March 22, 2025 at 2:08 am

    Timeless video

  47. @bearinthewoods3 on March 22, 2025 at 2:09 am

    I carry bear spray too…it sprays 10mm lead at around 1300 fps.

  48. @jackeronie6490 on March 22, 2025 at 2:09 am

    a pistol is a better option against bears and evil people

  49. @theephemeralglade1935 on March 22, 2025 at 2:09 am

    A bolt action rifle. An extra box of .270 Win. A pair of woodland camouflage briefs. And a Falkniven S1. That’s all you need.

    I don’t believe in unicorns, but this chick is close haha
