Thank you.
Great tips! Thank you.
Thanks for the tip on the LighterPack gear list -- hadn't heard about this before. I'll be creating a list for myself.
Very helpful video. Great advice.
Great, great video. Thank you.
Great video.. love your frame of the Smokey Mountains map.
Great info!
I enjoyed the whole video and all great tips. I think one of the best (besides giving an itinerary to a friend) is car camping first. I believe a lot of folks love hiking and the thought of sleeping in the woods. However, many get out there for the first time and when the sun goes down it scares them so much they never go back (not a judgement or criticism at all. Completely understandable and relatable!). Your car camping and camping close to your car is such great advice to help one ease into their overnight comfort zone at their own pace. Maybe that’s all they wish to do or take it further into the woods or just day hike only. Great which ever way. The main thing is they are outside, hiking, camping and enjoying life!
Great content. Look forward to your next video. Happy Holidays!
Great video and tips! I enjoyed this and all of your videos so much as they always share exactly what I want and need to know. Keep up the great work!

Wow such great content Braids. So many of my questions answered. I’ve solo backpacked now and hope I can get more comfortable at it. The noises just freak me out, LOL. Hoping to thru hike myself one day so will keep at it. Merry Christmas and happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
I’m so glad this video was helpful and that’s so awesome you’ve got out and solo backpacked! Merry Christmas to you!
great vid Braids! I wish I had had this video before my first solo trip (foothills trail) I was scared to death my first night lol
Thank you for doing these videos. You have inspired me to begin my hiking journey. I was on the AT at newfound gap yesterday. I am making my way thru all your older videos!! Next year I am doing 60 miles on the AT!! Keep the great videos coming -They are informative and extremely helpful. Maybe I’ll see you out there someday - I love the GSMNP!!!
Aw that means a lot to me and I’m glad you’re getting out there! Merry Christmas!
@@HikingwithBraids Merry Christmas!!
👍
Good tips especially about learning how to use a map and compass. For those who want to get real specific terrain info the USGS has topo maps you can download. Merry Christmas to you and Jerry and all the family.
Oh great info! Thank you!
This was fantastic! I learned new things to put to use. I appreciated the car camping advise. I actually feel I need to do this a few more times to feel absolutely comfortable before taking the next leap! You do an amazing job putting this together it takes a lot of time and is a lot harder and time consuming than you think! Take care and have a great holiday!
Thank you so much for noticing and I’m glad this video was helpful to you!! Your support really means so much! 🤗I hope you have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Awesome vid!! Is that a ULA backpack and do you have any pro or cons about it???
Such a great help. I have never backpacked alone and wonder if I could sleep alone. Such great tips! Thank you!
What backpack do u have
Hi!! I've recently started watching all of ur videos and we seem to share the same love of hking/backpacking. Im actually fairly new and haven't spent the first night out yet on the trail. My husband has cancer so I've had to kinda go with the flow and get out on the trail as im able. I'm interested in knowing which foot wear u prefer. I have a pair of Columbia boots that I love but u wear trail runners. Why do u prefer those over boots? Are t boots more supportive? Maybe I havent given trail runners enough of a chance or I've tried the wrong ones. Ur opinion matters to me so please share. U might have already discussed this topic but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks so much
Your so good.want dont u do a in the woods trainig class.charge a fee
You look amazing !!!! How do you do it
Haha I have no idea but thank you for the nice compliment 🤗
