Welcome to South East Utah! I told my husband just once I'd like to go on a hike that doesn't involve a cliff. He just laughed.

Love your videos of fitness and adventure with your family. Curious if you guys ever run into rattlesnakes? I’m with you on the “don’t like heights thing”!

Can you put the dresser into the closet? It’s what we did with our dressers when we had “normal” (rather than the more wonky upscale looking closets). If you had an armoire in the living room by that wonky looking whatever on the wall & maybe some bookshelves or another armoire behind it (facing opposite directions) or something on the other side, it could work & the tv wouldn’t need to be on a wall. Just anchor it all to the floor &/or the ceiling.

We have a “safe to spend” account. We do have a flex account but as hub’s main job is on a bi-weekly pay schedule, we put 1/2 of the flex account into the “safe to spend” category for week 1 & then on week 2 - the “flex account” $$ (or at least a portion of it) can then be put into the “safe to spend” category (if want to - on week we will get paid). So if we need to get our car tag renewed, it comes out of the safe to spend account- if I go get coffee with a friend, it comes out of the “safe to spend” category.

Wear merino wool, it's lightweight and just feels good, and use travel underwear like ExOfficio. You can wash it and it'll dry overnight, so you only need 1 extra pair. Darn Tough merino socks are the best. Wear one and take one (or two tops). Merino doesn't hold odor, so you can wear ONE shirt the entire time (sounds crazy but true). Carry a long sleeve SmartWool merino shirt, and you can wash the short sleeve overnight, too, if necessary. Wear the same pants. If you wear shorts, bring merino long underwear or tights for sleeping/warmth. Merino is one of those "buy once, cry once" things but it's so worth it. Good luck and have fun!

Congratulations! We are SLOWLY trying to pay off our house!

There's a girl on UA-cam... Homemade Wanderlust... she has backpacked the Appalachia Trail and has tons of videos on what she carries and stuff. Plus, she's really funny.

Wow gorgeous 😊

I've seen a lot of folks on the PCT take these little bidet spouts along with a soft flask water bottle. More sanititary that reusing cloth wipes and leaving them on the outside of your pack to hang. And less weight than wipes. Doesn't Work if there's not access to water but I'm gonna buy one for my next trip and try it out

I ❤backpacking and have done many trips all over the world! I hope you loved it and will do more. Just a side note to your husband: women don’t need men to take them on outdoor adventures (referencing his comment about failing as a husband); I’m way more outdoorsy, athletic, and adventurous than my husband- I’m the one teaching him stuff! 😉

Love seeing these adventures.You make me want to get up and move more.😊

Only ONE baggie of trail mix?!? I always bring like 3x the amount of snacks that you did 😂

Thanks for sharing your adventures! Love this couple and their hiking advice: ua-cam.com/users/shortszG9aZT3k40Y?si=Z5siLOLR_h4TO2R4

my base weight is less than 10 pounds! Christine! watch a you tube video!!!!!! love you tho

LOVING these videos-can’t wait to see more of your adventure!

I find when I'm hiking in the heat I'm not as hungry. I've backpacked with pop tarts as breakfast. It works, but protein in the morning is great. Osprey packs are really comfortable I've found. To get weight down i would take tent or hammock, not both. AT thru 2012, PCT 2024 section hike. Look forward to the rest of your videos!

Loving your recent videos on this channel x

Some other UA-camrs I watch just went down to Havasupai Falls too. I kept watching their videos looking for you to show up. Fun!

You're going to love it. Try North Idaho!!

I adore backpacking and I’ve done it all over the world, and always frugally. My hiking buddies say I squeak when I walk. My favorite backpacking UA-camr is Homemade Wanderlust. She has awesome gear reviews for economical gear. She helped me tweak my gear setup from 19 lbs to 15 lbs which was truly amazing on longer mileage days. Loved this video.

Woo! Fun.

My only suggestion would have been to go back to your husband’s suggestion of stuffing tent inside pack and poles on the outside pocket. It’s heavy where you have it placed and could cause problems with the width. Just my opinion and can’t wait to see more.

Looks like fun!! We tent camp and have been talking about backpacking. Definitely does not look like enough food for 3 days of hiking!!

Have you seen the couple who compare the camp store dehydrated foods to the cost of making their own? I could see this for you if you guys decide to get into this.

Great stuff! It looks like you've got you gear sorted. I can't wait to see the trip! I'd love a post-trip video about the gear you used. What you liked and didn’t, and what changes you'd make next time.

I don’t drink soda.

Would love to see a video on your daily/weekly exercise routine.

I can’t wait to see part 2! I’ve always wanted to do this hike!

I love the adventure videos!!

You and your husband are such an inspiration to me. I have lost 20 pounds so far. I million to go but that is either here or there. I also say to myself even if you run 3 steps your running.

Hey, I know these videos take a lot of work and perhaps don’t receive as many views but I really, REALLY enjoy them. It’s so motivating to see an active, frugal family making it happen. Thank you for the effort and for sharing.

With all the strategy it seems this will take.....it doesn't sound like much fun but you guys are super fit and athletic so I'm sure you will love this!

It's been 50 years since I last went backpacking, and female packs did not exist back then.

Im so surprised you've never gone backpacking! Can't wait to see part 2. I typically pack only the amount of snacks I think I will actually eat and then pack at least 1 extra, lightweight meal for peace of mind. Also recommend trying some dehydrated meals or at least reading reviews before you purchase because nothing sucks more than have to eat 800 calories of a super gross meal. I used to pack cheap food but at this point in my life Im willing to spend money on a good dehydrated meal because its a great moral booster and I'll feel better sleeping and hiking out if I've eaten appropriately.

My first time was on my honeymoon in Colorado at the beginning of winter (November) 😂 good luck!

Good luck. Where is the bug repellent? face wipes? moisturizer/sunscreen? Underwear? ha ha Good thing there were food vendors. Hope you had a great time.

Omg , good luck, what a chance of a lifetime to do something like this ! Which chacos are they, and were they durable and comfy? So many questions, can’t wait for the next video with clips from the trip!!! Idk about the trail food, Im not a big fan of the pre made freeze dried foods-

Good luck! I’m loving the adventure videos 😊

You should do a snotrocket tutorial!

Diet Coke... no fake cherry cough meds with my cola! 😂 (An argument that has happened often in the last 40 years!)

Are you using your poles correctly i know i do not and i am trying to relearn the right methods

Veterans also get a free pass to National Parks, they have to renew every year. We just went to Utah for the first time a couple weeks ago and loved it. Can’t wait to go back, we will mark this trail to do when we go!

Dr. Pepper all day, every day!! Love your hiking videos!

What hiking sticks do you recommend?

FYI my niece gives mountain bike training: Dirt Town Adventures in Victor, ID. Is that far from you?

The scenery there is gorgeous! I love watching you and Dave hang out. I lost my husband last fall and I miss his presence. Enjoy every second of your time together!!

Dr. Pepper ❤

dr pepper cream zero!

I just did this trip in March!!! So so so amazing! Hope you guys have a blast!

I'm loving all the hiking/mountain biking/trail running content!
