What would it be like to hike the Pacific Crest Trail with an 8-month-old baby? Joanna Romano shares her family’s story of spending four months backpacking 650 miles on the PCT with their daughter. We dive into how she prepared food and gear, what baby-specific gear they carried, what backpack carrier they used, as well as how they did cloth diapers and communication elimination on the trail. If you’ve ever wondered whether long-distance adventures are possible with kids, this inspiring episode will show you that it can be done—with a lot of grit, creativity, and heart.Gear mentioned: Wee Woolies: https://www.weewoollies.com/  More Space Kid Carrier Backpack - Wilderness equipment: https://www.wildernessequipment.com.au/our-gear/daypacks/child-carriers/wildchild-gulf-coast/ G Diaper System: https://original.gdiapers.com/ Morrison Outdoors Baby Bunting Bag: https://amzn.to/3V5Bsrc (affiliate link) Zpacks Tent: https://zpacks.com/ Connect with Joanna: Joanna’s Instagram: @motherhood.outdoors https://www.instagram.com/motherhood.outdoors/Join the FREE Facebook community: Connect with other women in your area to go exploring with, ask your gear and trip questions, search in FB groups Let’s Go Outside Podcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/1984734118616209/ Connect with me on IG: @besidethemountain Try Danika’s healthy snack recipes: https://besidethemountain.com/Watch on podcasts Youtube: @besidethemountainEmail me: [email protected] Codes & Discounts:Wee Woolies: https://www.weewoollies.com/ Use code LetsGoOutside for 10% offDownload my FREE high protein snacks ebook: besidethemountain.com/protein-ebook
