This is one of the top questions
I get asked!! People DM me and say, “Natalie...I love all
your outdoors pictures, and I want to do something like that but
I’m afraid to go alone!” So, I recorded a podcast talking
about everything I know about backpacking and how I overcame my
fear too. In this podcast I go over:
-How
I had never backpacked before in my life, showed up at REI one day,
bought everything I thought I would need, and hiked 150 miles on
the Appalachian trail all my myself (3 years
ago).
-How
to figure out where to go, and the best places to find what trails
to hike (books to buy, apps to download, people to talk to,
etc)
-What to pack and my top 3 items I never leave
without
-If you want to carry a gun, I
talk about the pros/cons and what kind of handgun I
have
-How I sometimes feel that I have kind of a
wild spirit to me, and spending time alone in nature helps me keep
that in check.
And so much more! I share a
bunch of crazy stories, but I hope you like this one, I had a ton
of fun recording it.

great clearness and they live by what they hear. Such people
