#106 - How To Start Backpacking and Hiking Alone

Backpacking alone is not the easiest thing in the world to do.  It can be downright uncomfortable or even scary at first, but if you’re willing to put in the work, being alone in the backcountry can be pretty darn incredible. In this episode, I’m going to share with you what I’ve learned about backpacking and hiking alone and give you some tips and tricks on how you can get there yourself.I won’t just cover HOW to backpack alone, but WHY you’d want to do so in the first place and what my personal journey has been (successes and failures).Wherever you’re at in your backpacking journey, this episode will help you go from constantly having to hike in a group or with a partner to embarking on an adventure by yourself.Show NotesWhy backpack aloneBenefits of backpacking aloneMy personal journey learning to backpack aloneHow my failures prepared me for success being aloneMy first time hiking alone for some distanceA turning point in being alone on the PCT8 Tips on how how to backpack, hike, or hunt aloneFinal thoughtsText the show!Support the showThanks for tuning in!  Check out the links below to learn more, connect, and support the show.www.byland.coJoin my NON-SPAM newsletterLeave a [email protected]
