      That particular plant was not Bigleaf Maple, it was Oplopanax horridus, commonly known as Devil's Club. Do not use as backcountry toilet paper.

    id love to see videos about trails and their perceived difficulties. From hikes for the new to the die hard. these videos are great fun because it lets people realize that hiking is more than just walking in the woods. There is so much to nature that can be seen.

    • @Jarrych83
      @Jarrych83 Рік тому

      And this trail goes through so many different types of terrain and is a good example of why people need to be at least a bit prepared for shifts in terrain or temps. Those rocky areas and getting cold enough for snow due to elevation was something else!

    Miranda, you don’t know how important your enthusiasm for and information on outdoor toilet habits is for women. I have several female friends who have completely avoided some amazing outdoor experiences because of their perceived lack of “normal” toilet facilities. One of them has never even peed on the ground and doesn’t know how. While I will pop a squat just about anywhere, there is a certain panache to teaching someone else how to properly do it. Teach on girl!

    I always love your videos. Ranier seems to have stuck with you and while we dont see him much he sounds cool and happy with you which seems to confirm how great of a team you all are. Please include his input also on gear reviews as well when possible. It was really helpful when you all did that.
    I am curious about your vegan journey. It seems you did not start that way, but chose that path and now have returned to a more omnivour state. This would be very intereating as every person makes such choices for so many different reasons. Maybe it is just I (and I assume many others) feel close to you and find you amazing as a person.

    Just wondering and maybe y’all could incorporate a few minutes into each show telling us about what y’all find out!!!! It gives me “Goosebumps” just thinking about we all could learn!!!!!!!

    That is an amazing hike and so beautiful Miranda! Hidden Lake Lockout is at 6900 feet and I live at approx. 6700 feet in Colorado Springs which means my privy is at about 6712 feet but not much of a scenic view, but mine is prettier and just a flight of stairs away and private. I just noticed the lookout in the background at 14:20, so much for privacy there either. Sounds like one should be up to date on their Tetanus Shot and having a friend you trust with tweezers along would be a bonus. Overall, I don't think I would go out of my way to use this toilet even for the views. Butt then I am not a Poopaholic.

    its a hang up I have when a hiking video is filmed from ahead of the hiker and you can tell they ran up, set up the camera, then ran back and pretended to walk up the trail for the first time.
    I appreciate that this felt like a pretty diegetic filming perspective.
    so uh. thanks for that.

    i love your focus on poo! LNT so important, paper & poo in camp, on trail is a bummer. NYT recently did a beginner camper article and no mention of poo etiquette. I tried to leave a comment about it but the comment wasn't accepted (prob because it had the words 'poo' and 'defecating' in it)... If you are a new backpacker- always make sure to check your campsite well before set up: it is horrible to set up over someone else's waste. Our culture has such an issue with human excrement, thanks Miranda for making this topic a little more... natural😺

This has totally preventing me from backpacking I'm injured now and can't hike, so been binging your videos and I LOVE your channel. I have watched your poop videos, and I'm curious, do you cover yourself up at all when pooping, or just let it all hang out. I am totally fine with using a bidet to wash. But I am very modest person, and not ok with just dropping my pants anywhere. Also, probably TMI but my pooping time is not quick and easy. What happens if you can't squat that long? Ahhh this stresses me out so much, but I really want to get past this, so I can try backpacking, HELP!!

Aren't you affraid of stepping on someone's *payload* ? Or maybe their discarded *hate letters* ??
