    That was great. There are two people that I love to see post a new video and that's you and My Basic Journey. I can count on you to have some beautiful scenery, fun conversation and adorable shots of Frank. I love how excited you get when you find berries or mushrooms. Your joy is contagious. A video from you puts a smile on my face. Thank you.

    No fear of the critter's in the woods, in the dark, she makes it to the top, a cup of coffee overlooking the view would have been perfect, who am I since I USED to be able to do all this stuff, I think I still love ocean and heat in Texas, the mountain's and woods in Maine, fresh berries, rock and tree climbing, get a garmin GPS tracker so Foresty can find you lol. Go girl!!!!

    Actually this was really, really helpful. I'm on the Island, and am heading out on my own next week in my Van. I got the van ready with fire extinguisher, etc, but I wasn't sure what it should pack for me for when I leave the van for a hike. Thanks so much!! 🥰🚙🇨🇦 PS. Just a thought. You should offer virtual classes on best hiking practices; what to pack for safety, clothing options, satellite help calls, which plants and herbs you can eat on the trail, and so much more. Marketed to solo women, but really it applies to everyone. I'd sign up!

    They have portable chargers that fit in your pocket that have a small dolor panel built in that you can just set outside or on your dash that would be great for hicking and if you had a rechargeable flashlight and we're stuck overnight you could charge your flashlight too . I bought a flashlight that can plug into the car lighter or with micro USB and it has a window breaker and seatbelt cutter and emergency flasher mode

    Hi Amanda! I have been following various channels and just found yours through Foresty Forest. YOU are my FAVORITE channel now by far. I love everything about your channel, but especially your decision to not use background music. That really really makes you stand out from the rest, and I find it especially chill and relaxing. And all of your tips and tricks. You are SO brave and seem so incredibly kind and compassionate. Your videography and editing are absolutely amazing. And Frank is the love of my life!! I look forward to more adventures with you. Oh, and I will donate to you via Paypal (it's the least I can do for all the great entertainment and education you provide), but I'd love to support you on a monthly basis via Patreon. Is that something you might set up in the future? Stay safe, Coleen from Portland Oregon.
