  7. L H on September 5, 2022 at 5:41 am

    Trail runners: shorts are fine

  8. Daljit Armando Dhillon on September 5, 2022 at 5:44 am

    I’am brown child don’t want to get booked for looking.

  9. Russell Lieser on September 5, 2022 at 5:45 am

    Axe and shovle

    So I don’t know if it’s just my upbringing but when I imagine hiking I think of it as a day walk. When I search it though people describe what I call “camping” which can include walking but it’s when you stay overnight.

    I will probably buy a television I have a playstation 2 and Need for Speed Most Wanted screw playing outside.

    What does your fully loaded pack weigh? That stuff looks heavy. Since this is REI, would be nice to teach people to lighten up so they will keep backpacking. Video is obviously for a new backpacker. It would be helpful to help find equipment in REI lineup that is light. Bear spray maybe, holster to put it in, no, too heavy. Use backpack pocket.

  14. Jake Fitzhugh on September 5, 2022 at 5:48 am

    She’s not into the light weight backpacking I see lol

  15. Why-Phi on September 5, 2022 at 5:49 am

    She has a back…. 🤔

  16. Kenneth Starr on September 5, 2022 at 5:52 am

    It’s a bad idea to have a windscreen with a canister stove. 💥 🤯

  17. 6 Tool Baseball on September 5, 2022 at 5:54 am

    I don’t believe in unicorns, but this chick is close haha

  18. Sean Brayton on September 5, 2022 at 5:55 am

    One thing I think she may have missed or I wasn’t paying attention. What form of water filtration should a beginner have or start with. I’ve seen pump and I’ve seen the squeeze type. Help?!?

  19. Delleon Thompson on September 5, 2022 at 5:55 am

    Hi Miranda, thanks for providing such quality content. Because you, I was able to overcome my fear of going camping and backpacking; however, I would like your suggestions on how much water to carry on a 3 miles backpack trail in which I plan to spend 2 nights without a nearby water source and what is an effective way to carry water on the trail?

  20. It's Rebe on September 5, 2022 at 5:56 am

    How do you charge your phone?

  21. Outdoor Enthusiast E n L on September 5, 2022 at 5:57 am

    What size backpack do you use?

  22. Kevinism A way of life on September 5, 2022 at 5:59 am

    How many cooks will I get out of a fuel can like that? I just bought a pocket rocket II
    Thanks Kevin

  23. BT on September 5, 2022 at 6:00 am

  24. Robby Natividad on September 5, 2022 at 6:00 am

  25. SHAQ SODA on September 5, 2022 at 6:01 am

  26. SH on September 5, 2022 at 6:04 am

  27. Insomnia Carrera Nocturna on September 5, 2022 at 6:08 am

  29. iFNhU on September 5, 2022 at 6:11 am

  30. Rob Crowe on September 5, 2022 at 6:12 am

    Leave the deodorant at home? 😲

  31. Akash Shrestha on September 5, 2022 at 6:18 am

  32. Shota Asatiani on September 5, 2022 at 6:19 am

  33. caitie on September 5, 2022 at 6:19 am

  34. Yosua Natanael on September 5, 2022 at 6:22 am

  35. Don Carpenter on September 5, 2022 at 6:23 am

    Question Miranda are you going to try Canada Trans Continentl hikeing trail in Canada 🇨🇦.

  36. Karen Polansky on September 5, 2022 at 6:24 am

    I know you posted this three years ago, but I wanted to tell you how much of a help you’ve been to me. I feel like you’re my friend telling me all the things I needed to know for my first solo backpacking trip. I did as you said and kept it simple. Had a great time, even with the thunderstorm that delayed my supper. I just used it as a pre dinner nap time! Thanks again!

  37. The Ephemeral Glade on September 5, 2022 at 6:26 am

    A bolt action rifle. An extra box of .270 Win. A pair of woodland camouflage briefs. And a Falkniven S1. That’s all you need.

  38. 코리안사파리 Korean safari on September 5, 2022 at 6:27 am

    nice !!

  39. Dan M on September 5, 2022 at 6:27 am

    I watch this video every time I go backpacking as a reminder in case I forget to pack something.

  40. Brad Moulton on September 5, 2022 at 6:28 am

    I carry bear spray too…it sprays 10mm lead at around 1300 fps.

  41. Jackeronie on September 5, 2022 at 6:29 am

    a pistol is a better option against bears and evil people

  42. Monsterosity on September 5, 2022 at 6:29 am

    I really laughed when she said “maybe leave the deodorant at home”

  43. Andrea Reidy on September 5, 2022 at 6:29 am

    Can’t see link for packing list

  44. Billy Macgetty on September 5, 2022 at 6:30 am

    Ew

  45. Outdoor Outfitters 365 on September 5, 2022 at 6:30 am

    Very informative! Thanks for sharing.

  46. CAD Thunkin on September 5, 2022 at 6:30 am

    Interesting, a tiny stove and then tallish pot. Those of us that have the ultra fast boiling setups like jet boil, have a hard time turning down the heat to a simmer. I fish a lot so that high heat is tricky. I have to lift the pan up and move it around a lot since the heat is so focused, even turned down. I do a lot of "regular" cooking, not just heating water and dumping into a pouch. The jet boil pot is too tall for most of my needs, so maybe time I change 🙂

  47. Yang Jiao on September 5, 2022 at 6:31 am

    wonder how you charge your phone ~~

  48. A F on September 5, 2022 at 6:31 am
