becoming a backpacker: my first solo trip

PLZ READ: Before anyone asks where this is or what trail it is that I hiked just know that I purposely left enough “hidden in plain sight clues” throughout the video for you to figure it out on your own with a little bit of research (think of it like a scavenger hunt or an Easter egg hunt hehe)

ALSO: There still be tons o bots and spammer-scammers out there. Do not fall for them! I will never, would never, message a person offering or asking for money/prizes/etc or any sort of incentive to chat with me on another app/txt like telegram/whatsapp etc. (I do my best to stay on top of ‘em but it’s a waste of precious time tbh ;P)

Hiking "Life Hack" For blisters, get leukotape ! Its life changing. It will not come off ! Better than moleskin or a band aid.

Enjoyed it until you started the CRYING 🐂 💩.. geesh... 😅

U tube can be misleading. Seems like the emotional release of just being outside and in nature is downplayed. Natures majestic beauty gives a sense of cleansing our spirit and we reconnect with our true self. Keep hiking and I really enjoyed your video

Loooove this for you! Enjoy the journey of challenges and beauty☀️

don’t beat yourself up so much, you’re trying your best <3 - love a fellow person who also beats themselves up too much

I absolutely LOVE your videos.

Aaaawww, you made me cry too 🙂

I’ve seen waay too many bear attack videos to ever be comfortable doing something like this without a VERY powerful firearm, OR THREE! 🤣

👍👌💯

She keeps forgetting her camera when she walks off.

Awesome video. Those views are so amazing. I would melt at those views. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, kinda stumbled upon this video doing some research for my own first backpacking trip. Thanks for putting it together! It was cool to get a glimpse of a first-timers experience and geeeez that wake up view!

You're practically in my sister's back yard! We grew up hiking H Mt a lot and T Mt sometimes. 😅 T Mt is tough but so beautiful!

This is such a dream! I pray i find a better job that allows me the free time and the funds to be able to do this.

That moment of you being vulnerable, the fact that you shared is huge. I admire your growth, and it's clear you're thinking on a higher level of consciousness.

My good sis, that cry was so real and felt.

Set up camera. Pretend to hike away. Backtrack. Repeat. That seems exhausting.

Omg i cry at beauty, too, and damn near cried at the mountain sunrise shot. It literally took my breath away. Youre not alone in that. Embrace it as your superpower. I would have clicked on this video even faster if it was titled 'girl dies in the backcountry from happiness' lol

keep it up, have fun, stay safe.tysm for sharing😊

Love the OG Indianhead hat!! I ski there all the time. They renamed the resort to Snow River so you have a collectible.

This is incredible. I also just moved to Seattle from the Midwest (Missouri) about 5 months ago, and this is something I'm wanting to do for myself.

I literally cried at your pause before even before you started crying omg. Thanks so much for this content

Wow what are the chances

Thank you for inspiring others being vulnerable and for the laughs and I enjoyed watching your adventure I was thinking it wouldn’t be a bad idea to carry some supplies or blisters or so you can push a little harder next time. Your next adventure awaits.

I grew up here in Western Washington, but on a island~ so it wasn’t until leaving school and moving to mainland did I truly appreciate this state. I now reside near Mt Baker (i think I’m only a hour or so from this loop) and don’t want to leave this gorgeous state🥹

I Subscribed, then heard the music, then Unsubscribed, we are only looking for Nature sounds not music, but it was a good hike thank you

Got me hyped for my first backpacking adventure. 4 day section hike on the Appalachian Trail. Thank you for sharing, especially your vulnerable moments! I like the outro - it's showing the chaotic return to society after spending peaceful bliss in nature. Subscribed.

This gives me so much inspiration! Thank you so much

I always buy my hiking shoes a size bigger than the shoes I wear around town. It feels weird at first but it's helped me not get blisters. Injinji socks help too

looooove this. what camera do you use ???

Thumbs up if you agree that the best stories are made in the great outdoors, far from the city lights!

Great filming.

Hi, I really like your style as you film. I wanted to ask what camera and lens did you use to make this video?

This is a view that is rarely seen in Korea! that's really cool! 😳

I LOVE your channel name. That's very apt and creative. Also, I just wanted to say that you were too hard on yourself. Don't call yourself a klutz! As my stepdad used to say, "Don't cry over spilt milk, and it's ALL spilt milk." Just make note of what you can do better and let it go. No self-berating necessary. Besides, it's normal to have more accidents when your physically or mentally tired. I know I sure do. Research studies show this. This was your first solo hike and you did AMAZING!! You should feel proud of your achievement and gain some confidence from this. And regarding the crying. You're in nature. Nature is awe-inspiring. In forces you into the present moment. It humbles you. It evokes a feeling of reverence. It connects you with your inner self. PLUS! You've just been through a LOT. These hikes are not easy. It can be scary. And you're alone. You've been being strong. Tears are understandable and show you're a healthy human. Tears being relief and release of tension. Allow them to flow Darling. Sometimes I almost cry just watching videos like this. You're an inspiration to people. Thank you for sharing this. HUGS!

Pro tip...always always always bring lots of extra socks and change them frequently.

Always bring a way to filter water. 100% necessity!

excellent. especially being your 1st trip. 😁

Please please please tell me you carry a firearm, and not necessarily just for the animals..

I’ve grown up here my whole life but just now getting into hiking and I’m worried I’m spoiled with this view and nothing will compare! Try some trails in forks during rainy season the fog adds a whole new level!

What tent is it? Looks interesting.

Weird to see someone who carefully sets up a shot of them so others can watch them cry.

Normally HATE music with a video but you do a great job matching. Don't be scared to just let the natural sounds of your life be the " music."

When i saw you crying about overwhelming happiness, you really got me!... I do really felt that joy that comes from such an experience. Thank you for sharing.

You go girl! Hopefully you continue to have amazing backpacking adventures.
