I just found your channel and am starting your videos. I'm also a short girl and it's so nice to watch your gear and hike videos knowing I'm not alone! Your videos are great, a lot of work I'm sure but so nice to watch - thank you!

My comments are 2 years late, but thank you for representing petite women/short torso. I have 5’1” on a good day with a 14.5-15” torso, narrow shoulders, and it has been challenging to find fitting packs. Though I am now quite happy with my Gregory Maven 55 in XS. It is not the lightest, but it works for shorter backpacking trips.

Your video really awesome 😎

Hi there! Are you still on the PCT? I'm planning a 2023 solo thru-hike, and was learning a lot from your UA-cam updates. I haven't seen an update for a month, so I hope you're fine and all's well!

Your videos have *almost* convinced me that I need to try a serious(ish) hiking trip. At my age, the miles you guys do are intimidating though. Are there any shorter (fewer miles and around 3 days) hikes you would recommend in the PA/KY/WV area?

Have you hiked the trails or forrests in Michigan's Peninsula? You should check it out!

Your video really awesome 😎 the place so beautiful ❤️ keep sharing 💗 stay safe stay connected

I love the washing machine

I am so excited to get to see the PCT through your eyes. I loveloveloved watching your AT adventure--I'm a bit of a hiking vlog addict while I treadmill through the NH winters--and I'm delighted to get to watch you explore another part of the country. Thank you for bringing us along!

nice views was watching lots of hikes on AT they just got 6 inch's snow in smokes and up in VA

What kind of a diet are you on that you couldn’t eat at the malt shop?

you are charged up and ready

looking forward to this

You need to get a backpack made

Enjoyed watching you conquer the PCT and have always loved the content and creativity of Peal with Zeal. Looking forward to these new adventures--both LASH and FOOD! Good luck, Jen!

How exciting! I'm a huge fan of the videos of your sobo AT adventure! Can't wait to get to experience the southern PCT through your eyes!

Good luck Jen!

Tell me what backpack u have.ty

Hi jenn.where in conn does at start

Thank you for the thorough review!! It's so hard to find info for us short ladies. Really appreciate this video and the time you put into it!

Wow! I did not expect you to end up with the same pack. My pack is 20yrs old but fits perfectly (Lowe Alpine internal frame w/ adjustable torso). I took it out of retirement to start backpacking with my sons and am considering something new and hopefully lighter. I think I'll do some shopping but also consider if I want to work on the old girl.

Thank you for sharing - I love that section :).

What date did you start your southbound hike?

Nana's Hot tub hahaha!

Great video!! What would you suggest for a ten mile section of Massachusetts for a section hike?

Being a petite woman makes most of these backpacks very cumbersome & painful to wear. I have to do some research and try on a few more before I make my next purchase, but this video certainly helps going forward. Thanks for the video! Happy trails!

Jen! If I'm not mistaken, you're also from Ohio and we crossed paths in Maine. I forget the name of the shelter, but I was at "The Tubs" with my friend Hobbles. I didn't end up completing my flip-flop thru-hike attempt but hiked everything between Katahdin and Damascus. I'm going back and doing the rest in sections, which led me to your videos. Great to see you completed the trail! -Cap[tain America]

Jen, thanks for posting this. That forest shot at minute 14, do you remember approximately where on the trail you were?

Just wanted to say certainly glad you made it all the way through watching you in the beginning on how you transformed from low mileage to much higher mileage from thinking about getting off the trail and no one around to people around and attitude changing in such very cool was hoping for a follow up video. Also were you able to find a new job and are you pleased with it? How is your husband doing

Finally another female who does not want a teal or purple backpack……thank you!!!

Thank you very much, I've been researching women's backpacks for my daughter and your content was super helpful. Peace edit: I almost forgot, my daughter, is 4' 11"!

Take it from another who’s been down this huge decision road, you’ve given really good info to consider. I’m 5’2” and the struggle to get a well-fitting pack is tough. I’ve come to the same conclusion. The pack I already have, the ULA Circuit, is close to perfect for me...but my heart still lusts after that REI Flash pack with some awesome features. LOL!

Had the same problem! I loved (and still love) my Gregory Jade because it fits my petite frame perfectly, but it's a standard backpack and heavier. I needed to cut some weight for a longer thru hike because I'll be bringing my dog and will need to carry some of his stuff. Even the customizable packs from the smaller cottage companies can be a problem because you can customize the torso height and hip belt, but then they use the same size straps for all the packs. Some offer different styles (ie-J strap vs S strap) but the strap lengths and widths are the same no matter if you're 115 lbs or 300 lbs.

Curious if you ended up switching? If so which did you go with? I’m 5 ft even and am struggling to find a pack. Thank you for all of your input!

Do you have a trail name “ jenerator” ?

Refreshing female perspective (and solution). Wide apart straps are so painful!! I've had the swollen clavicles and shoulder joints to prove it!

Your name Jen is not on hiker yearbook 2020
