    Great idea to mix some sightseeing in with a backpacking trip! We're looking forward to the trip vlogs as we really enjoyed your Tour de Mont Blanc last year.

      Yes, I’m glad I got to do some additional city exploring around the hike! Hoping to get the Skye video out this Sunday, but it may end up being the following week 😅

    1:46 I am a beginner solo traveler and new fan to your channel. I find your work very inspiring to someone who has doubt thinking about beginning my own adventures. Your videos are very well produced and great music. Scotland has been a long-time favorite location I would love to visit. Looking forward to your next video of your hike! Good luck and continued success!

      Thank you so much! I’m glad you’ve been inspired by my videos, and hope that you get out on your own adventures. Even when things don’t go to plan (as you’ll see in my Skye Trail video…), I think it’s still worth it to get out and try 😊

      @mikhailalynn Thank you for your response. The Skye Trail is something I have admired and would love to do some day. I think you are from Ohio, I am from Perrysburg. I just came back from a week hiking in Hocking Hills. I'm working up to longer and overnight adventures. Smoky Mountains (I liked your video on that as well) and Mt Leconte is my next journey :)))
      Have a wonderful time in Scotland!

    Beautiful landscape towards the end of the vlog. Thank you for taking the time to video on your travels. Wondering if there was something about the Skye Trail that prompted your selection to visit there?

      Thank you! I first learned about the Skye Trail through watching other UA-cam videos and thought it looked incredible ⛰️

    Great video. In less than a year I'm backpacking Hadrians Wall so I have a TON of questions about how you got your pack there? Check it (if so how did you protect the contents)? Carry on? What you could but more importantly what you COULDN'T take.? Can't wait to see the Skye.

      That will be such a neat hike! Last year, for the TMB, I checked my pack and almost everything in it, and then it got delayed. More convenient in some ways, but depending on the delay that could totally mess up your trip. When I checked it, I actually packed my backpack and its contents all in a large, sturdy suitcase (my pack itself was empty and flat within the suitcase).
      This year, I brought my pack and as much of my gear as possible as a carry on. Things I checked due to restrictions include my trekking poles and my MSR pocket rocket camp stove (my airline specifically had "camp stove" on their "must be stored in checked luggage" list). I also put my tent stakes and pocket knife in my checked bag. You have to buy camp fuel after you arrive because you can't bring that on the plane at all. I think those are the big ones to consider!
