• BACKPACKING FOOD & HIK...
Yay!! 2021 Backpacking season has officially begun for me with my first overnight backpacking trip of the year to Olympic National Park!
Here's the complete breakdown of my trip with all of the hiking gear I brought, backpacking food I packed and the trip itself. Comment below and let me know if you'd like to see more of these types of videos for each big trip I go on this year. I feel like with each trip, depending on where I go, I pack different food and gear for each one. Happy trails and keep on truckin!
You should show how you pack everything into your pack. Thanks!
Great idea! I briefly showed how I packed my pack for a previous trip, (in this video: ua-cam.com/video/7ojb99mAuHU/v-deo.html), but didn't anticipate so many people wanting to see how I packed my pack with the bear canister. I'll be sure to add that to a future video. Thanks for the great suggestion!
I know how much work it takes to inventory any collection of items, but your videos do as much while being wonderfully captivating the entire time. Definitely inspired by this to continue downsizing other parts of my life. Enjoy those mountains!
Thank you so much for this! You're right. These types of videos take a lot of time and energy to put together. They're also a lot of fun to make and I can use them as a way to document my own progress with my backpacking journey. It's all a learning process and I'm more than happy to share what I learn along the way. Glad you find these vides entertaining as well. Added bonus!!
Amazing. She has this down to a science! I'm not a hiker but do enjoy her commentary and expertise. She has a very high skill set when it comes to the great outdoors. Great Job!🤙🤙🤙
I've been an ultralight backpacking fan since reading Colin Fletcher's The Man Who Walked Trough Time in the mid 70s. I had to make a lot of my own equipment back then and was limited by the materials of the time. It's amazing what wonderful ultralight equipment we have today. Thanks for sharing!
I literally have the same quilt sitting in my cart right now. Can't wait to get it
I LOVE my EE quilt!! I've taken this thing with me on SO MANY adventures!
Wow I loved this so much. Thank you!
Ok, just recommended this from UA-cam! Hell yes! This is the breakdown I’ve been waiting for my whole life!
I love it!!
Love your videos!! So helpful! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
Awesome trip, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 😀
This week's questions....
What is the proper ratio of bite size Snickers bars to days on the trail?
And can said Snickers bars be used as a camp game making words using the letters on the individual wrappers?
And if so, what if you get no vowels???
Also, I'm planning to return my Therm-a-rest NeoAir XLite because it makes so much noise when I fidget while trying to sleep. Your's is a slightly different model, does it make that "crinkle crinkle" sound?
And lastly, my wife LOVES her Kula Cloth!!!
The proper Snickers bite size ratio doesn’t depend on the days on trail, but the type of days you’re having on trail. I found my consumption of these were always much higher when there was bad, wet weather and steep climbs.
I want to play this camp Snickers game!!!
The NeoAir Xtherm still makes some noise (I feel like they all do on trail), but not nearly as much as the Xlite. That thing is like sleeping on a bag of potato chips. Don’t get me wrong. I’d often hike out of town with a bag of chips strapped on my pack, but that doesn’t mean I wanted to sleep on them. The Xtherm has much more insulation, making it way more quiet. Yay for the Kula cloth!!
Another awesome gear video! Love it!
Thank you!
I love how you pack! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Watching your videos always make me want to go hiking!
Yay! I love this!!
Very insightful and informative. Thank you!
Thank you!
Love your videos, thanks a lot for sharing! 💛
Yay!! Thanks for watching! 😀
Well done! This was very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Looked like an awesome trip Kathleen. Great breakdown as well.
Nate
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Kathleen really is the best! All of my trail food is inspired by this channel.
Awe!! Thank you!!
Just wanted to show my appreciation for this channel. Your helping to feed us hikers back east and I love it!
@@paulbier2182 Thank you so much for watching. Glad you're finding my videos helpful! :)
This is super random, but I love your voice, Kathleen. I love just listening to your videos even if I've already watched them!
Thank you! You know what's funny is when I first started making videos for my UA-cam Channel, it was really hard for me because I hated the sound of my own voice! Eventually I got used to hearing my own voice with all of the videos I've edited so it's really funny to hear you say this. We are our worse critic.
Love watching your videos! I am local and can easily get to the places you are showing. So excited for you to do the Wonderland Trail too. My hubby and I are doing it next year. I have done a lot of it day hiking and short backpacking trips but am excited to do the whole trail. Keep the videos coming and thank you!
I’m so looking forward to the Wonderland Trail, all 10 days of it!! I’ll be vlogging the entire trip. I’ve been wanting to hike these 93 miles for quite some time now. So freakin excited!!!
I just got into backpacking and I live in Washington. Your videos are perfect for me. Thanks!
Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying my videos!
I really love this channel!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you. You're awesome blossom!
Thank you!!
Enjoyed every minute of your testimony and thoughts. Looking forward to sharing your journey spiritual and otherwise. Safe travels
Thank you!
That is a high quality sleep system!! Loving the purple.
It’s heavier than most, but you know who has two thumbs and gets a good sleep on trail? This girl!!😀
I'll take that set-up all day, every day! (Or all night I suppose 😂)
Awesome video! This was my first solo backpacking hike three years ago, and just did it again with my fiance last night! Truly pleasant! Also- after seeing your recent trip through Enchanted Valley, I was able to snag one of the last reservations left there for this summer. Thanks for the inspiration girl! Keep it up
I love this!! How awesome that you were able to snag a permit for this one. Glad you had a good time out there. Isn't it beautiful?
Thanks for the vid, Will follow some tips of you
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Wow great video love this ideas
Glad you liked this one!
Great video! Our season also starts this week 😁
Thank you and yay for your season kickoff. Have fun out there!
@@TheHungryHiker we will!
We went up there the following weekend! So fun. And it's so nice to find a local hiker to follow. :D
Hope you had a great trip. Thanks for following along.
Dude that pillow rules, worth every penny!
I know many consider a pillow a luxury item out on trail, but I honestly could not get a good nights sleep out on trail without it. For me, these 3 ounces are necessary.
Thank you very helpful
Awesome. Glad you found this one helpful.
Wonderful! The adventure does not come to you. Thanks for making this video. BTW I need that water sac! So much more useful than bottles when you have to use your waterfilter often. Sacks are great!
I love my CNOC Vecto bag! I love the wide mouth opening. I love that it fits with my Sawyer filter. I love how durable these bags are. The bags that came with my Sawyer filter are absolute garbage. I love my Sawyer filter, just not the bags that they come with.
Looks good 🏕️
Thanks!
Fantastic video.
Thank you very much!
So fun to see this--this trail was my first backpacking trip and is basically in my own backyard! ☺️ It’s a beautiful area! However, you should know that bear canisters are not required everywhere in the Olympic National Park, only in some areas. In the Staircase area, you can just hang your food.
Glad you enjoyed this video! You are correct. Bear canisters are not required in the Staircase area. However they are required in Enchanted Valley, which is where I went backpacking the weekend after this trip and it was awesome! I made a video featuring the Enchanted Valley trip as well. Check it out here if you haven't already: ua-cam.com/video/x-grrsbqS_I/v-deo.html
For details on proper food storage in Olympic National Park, including where bear canisters are required, I found this link that is super helpful: www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/wilderness-food-storage.htm
I live 30mins from staircase in Shelton. Lucky me for being close to many Olympic trails and make Cushman is like my home. ❤️ I was just there last weekend on the Upper Big Creek Loop Trail at Mile marker 9 just a little past staircase. :)
That’s so awesome!!
Ooooookay? So I love videos like these, they're great!
What's not so great is that I came upon this one on my recommended list whilst watching a Rusty West National Park disappearances video.
Ummmmm, o-kay??
That's the UA-cam algorithm for you and is completely out of my control. The recommended videos that pop up for you are based on the videos you watch.
@@TheHungryHiker OH yah, I got ya. It just hit me really funny is all.
#1 Watch videos of guy talking about folks going missing in Natuonal Parks.
[UA-cam recommendations]
#2 OK now watch a fun video of people enjoying themselves hiking in a National Park.
Thanks UA-cam!
😆😆😆
@@adventureseeker9800 UA-cam can be weird like that sometimes..
just to chime in from a perspective of a nremt, you should carry 2 triangle bandages, they can be used for everything from a arm sling to a tourniquet, and so many other things, also they weigh almost nothing for the value
Thanks for the suggestion.
Love your YT name. Had to sub.
Thank you! I like my name too, mainly because it's 100% true. I love to hike and I'm ALWAYS hungry. Hiking and backpacking make me hungry. Hahahaha! Thanks for subscribing!
I’m jealous, looks beautiful, and the water, perfect, sunny high 90’s here in Phx. Love your vids, your breakdowns, always informative and the ideas you share, awesome. You carry a bear can when required, do you carry bear spray with you as well? I have a week off at the end of the month, planning to hit GC for a couple days, thanks for a few ideas.
Thanks for watching! To answer your question, no I don't carry bear spray and that's by choice. If I were hiking in grizzly country, I might change my mind. For this trip, I was perfectly happy with just having my bear canister for all of my food and scented items though, all 2+ pounds of it! hahahahaha!
@@TheHungryHiker I forgot to ask earlier, you shared that you got a new spoon, are you going to do bright colored tape or bright colored lanyard for it? They’re not the greatest but I check Walmart’s clearance section sometimes and found Omari trail long plastic spoon, $.55 cents, fits my needs, but a little heavier than titanium, added some bright yellow tape to my handle.
Yes, I got a new, long handled spoon. It’s the same one I lost last summer and yes, I plan on putting some bright colored tape on it so I don’t lose it on trail again. 😂
your videos are awesome !!!! do you think all you food wouldve fit in the smaller bv450??
Thank you! As for the BV450, not sure since I've never used that size of bear canister. I bet I could have made it fit with some creative packing.
Thank you again for a nice vlog and i must say very complete :) did you ever encounter bears and what you do if you do/did ?
We actually saw a bear just outside of our camp as we were coming back from our day hike on this trip. It was a good reminder on why bear canisters are required in the park. With bears, you want to make sure they know you're there and that you make noise. They usually want nothing to do with you so make noise, don't leave your food or scented items out and whatever you do, never get between a momma bear and her cubs.
Your video is very informative. Thanks for sharing. Can you let me know some info on the guided overnight backpacking trips in ONP that you just went on? I’m planning at trip to the ONP and this would help me.
I highly recommend joining The Mountaineers if you're here in the PNW. Not only for the day hikes and trips, but they have classes on pretty much everything related to the outdoors. Plus, you'll meet cool, likeminded people who want to be outside just as much as you do. It's a wonderful non-profit organization and its all led by volunteers. The trip I recently went on was a backpacking trip through The Mountaineers and it was awesome.
Great video. Do you find the ziploc's work well for rehydration? Freezer bags or sandwich? Thanks.
Thank you! For rehydrating purposes, the freezer bags are the way to go. They can withstand the boiling water. I'd recommend using some sort of cozy as well to help keep the heat in when you're rehydrating a meal. I made mine. I included a link in the description below to a video I watched teaching me how to make one,
Where did you camp?, I was at dry Creek last weekend first time in the Olympics, fell in love with the place. Milage and elevation gain would be enough information if you don't feel like giving out to much information, oh what time of year was it the Park was closed last weekend, not sure if was do to snow pack or just to early in the year. Been searching UA-cam since I got home. Your the best, I too love to eat on the trail. Keep up the good work. Your content is GREAT 👍
Keep in mind, I put together this video almost two years ago now so whatever the conditions are like out there now are going to be completely different than what they were in my video. We did this one at the end of April back in 2021. For this trip, we camped at Camp Pleasant and day hiked up to Nine Stream Camp. Glad you've been enjoying my content!! Thanks for watching!
Do you please have a link for your car top carrier pod? Looks like a great addition!
For my pod, I unfortunately don't know anything about it other than the brand is Packline. I bought it used and it's a bit on the older side so I have no idea what model it is. Sorry!
I'm planning on doing Segments 1-5 of colorado trail with some friends soon. Will be my first through hike. Do you carry any type of solar battery pack? I have an Anker battery pack, but it's about a pound. I know every ounce counts.
I don’t use any type of solar charger. They typically depend on direct sunlight to charge and that’s not an option we often have on trail up here in Washington.
How do you use (change and clean) your menstrual cup while thru hiking? This is something I’m so nervous about!!
Great question! I cover this IN DETAIL within the online backpacking program I created specifically for women, The Confident Solo Female Backpacker System. If you're interested in learning more about the program, all of the topics I cover within the program and would like details on how you can enroll, sign up for a free, one-on-one Zoom call with me: calendly.com/the-hungry-hiker/enrollment-call-the-confident-solo-female-backpacker-system?month=2022-08
Hey, we recently moved to Seattle and tried couple of hiking nearby, my question is how do you get about doing "business" on the trail? We have been going back watching your videos , thanks for inspiring us
For day hikes, using the pit toilet at the trailhead usually does the trick for me. If I ever need to go to the bathroom and I'm out on trail, I always have my poop kit with me. Find a place off trail and away from a water source, dig a hole 6-8 inches, do your business, cover it up and pack out your tp. Easy, breezy!
Were those morels at the end? If so, did you forage and cook them?
Yes they were! No, I didn't forage them, but someone in my group did and cooked them up when she got home. :)
👍
Question for you...do you carry 1 smart water bottle and the bladder with extra water or extra bottles to fill before setting off after a water source?
Thanks :-)
Great question! It all depends on where I'm heading and the water situation. If I know there's going to be a lot of water (for example, for this trip we knew we'd be hiking along a river the entire time), I'll only fill the 1 liter bottle and drink from that. If I knew it was going to be a long, waterless carry, I'd "camel" up at the water source by drinking a bunch of water and filling both my 1 liter bottle and my CNOC water bag. Hope that helps!
@@TheHungryHiker awesome thank you. P.S loving your channel from Perth Western Australia :-)
@@traciewalker7892 Thank you!! :)
Do you sleep without pants or do you sleep in your hiking pants? Honestly asking. I prefer to sleep with less on but I’m afraid to do it while hiking in case I need to run away from something 😅.
It honestly depends on how hot/cold I am. In the warm summer months, I'll sleep in shots. For this trip, I started with wearing my leggings and was so warm by the middle of the night, I got down to my undies, with top and bottom. I'd much rather be too warm than too cold. I've had my fair share of cold nights and they were NOT fun.
I dont see any means to charge phone. GPS. Camera. Do you carry a solar battery or back up battery. If so which ones
At 5:48, I talk about my Repair Kit, which is where I stored my battery pack charger. I also included a link to the charger in the video description below under my Repair Kit. Here's the link: Battery Pack Charger amzn.to/3kkAsv4
What do you use for navigation? GAIA GPS, All trails map etc?
For navigation on my day hikes and backpacking trips, I typically use Gaia. I love all of the map layers! If I'm hiking/backpacking/thru-hiking the PCT, I'll use the Guthook app for navigation. It's loaded with really good trail information and the comments for the waypoints are worth their weight in gold.
@@TheHungryHiker thank you. I have used AllTrails app on my last trip, and it failed on me… I think I’ll will give it a try next time the GAIA.
@@TheBlindGardener Oh no! I don't use AllTrails, but as long as you download your maps ahead of time, Gaia works great out on trail with your phone in airplane mode. Maybe practice on a short day hike before trying it out on a bigger trip. Good luck!
Just placed my order for the poop emoji bag 💩
I love my 💩 emoji bag!! Waaaay better than the boring Ziploc bag I used to use. 😂
No bear spray for the Olympic backpacking trip?
Nope, no bear spray. I don't carry bear spray with me on my hikes. That is a heck yes to the bear canister through for storing my food and scented items.
Lighter Weight info?
I wouldn’t consider myself an ultralight hiker so I wouldn’t be a great resource for ultralight hiking. If you’re looking for my lighterpack.com info, I did include a link in the video description below.
Thats sooooooo much food for an overnighter 👀 good video tho thx
Yes, you are correct. I did come back with quite a few of the snacks, as I mentioned in my video. The thing about hiking and backpacking is often times it's hard to gauge how hungry/not hungry you'll be out there. I like to always carry more food than I actually need so I never have to worry about running out. Also, everyone is different and has different needs when out on trail. The cool thing about hiking and backpacking is you're always learning from the last trip and can use what you learn to fine tune things for the next one.
@@TheHungryHiker well said
You should carry more food than you *think* even if you go for a day hike. You may get stranded, stuck, have to detour or you can come across someone who is injured and may need food or water 👍🏻
Agreed. Having extra food is one of the 10 essentials. 😀
How do you fit that bear canister in your pack?
It's a tight fit, but how I pack it is I first put my quilt on the bottom and then put my bear canister in the middle of my pack on top of my quilt. Then I stuff everything else either around the bear canister and on top. I had some extra room inside the canister so I was able to put other things inside as well, making this fit even better in my pack. No matter how you pack your pack those, these suckers are heavy.
"Too many snacks".....does not compute.
I know! Crazy, right? Hahahahaha!
0:12 wtf ??!! You in US can not bring your pets on trail?? Does somebody know why?
It's pretty common that pets are not allowed on trails and wilderness areas in national parks and for good reason including to protect protect pets (pets are prey out in the wild), to protect wildlife and to protect the fragile vegetation. Pets are allowed in national parks on paved roads, at campgrounds and in parking lots. For more information abut pets in national parks, check out here for Mount Rainier National Park: www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/pets.htm and here for Olympic National Park: www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/pets.htm. Hope this answers your question.
