Thank you so much for this. Love your reasons for SOBO. Great discussion of fear on the trail. I too fear or am more concerned by people than wildlife. Can't wait for chapter 11!
Yep there absolutely will! I just took a two week break from the regular episodes to get these ones out before the hiking season gets into full swing!!
Thank you for answering all these questions, it is very helpful! How did you deal with bugs (mosquitos, flies...)! I heard they are pretty bad in Oregon and Washington. Was it less of a problem since you did SOBO?
Thank you so much for your video. I love all of them! One thing that I think is funny is that every time you say you’re a Canadian I think you are saying you’re a comedian and then I say to myself, “Oh she’s a comedian?”, but then I know you’re not a comedian so I have to remind myself of that every single time you say you’re a Canadian in your videos. And by the way, you’re not saying it wrong, I just hear things funny. Anyway, love you! Take care!
It wasn't as hard as I expected it would be. There were some trail towns that had very minimal options. But, there were some SUPER small places that had incredible options. Like Seiad Valley. But, I think it would have been really hard to buy resupply in the small places, so for me it was usually necessary for me to send myself a resupply package.

Were you able to send home your brush because you kept your hair in braids most of the time? Perhaps an odd question, but my hair gets tangled just sitting around and I'd rather not carry a brush if I don't have to. Thanks and your videos are great. You have a very calming and positive vibe.🍊
Ya I think the braids helped a lot! But my hair doesn't normally get very tangled. I have no idea why, but I usually only brush it once a day at most and it doesn't need much. Some of the other women I hiked with had little brushes with mirrors. I thought that was a genius idea because you can use the mirror as a signal mirror if you ever need to get rescued, so it's like a back-up safety item too!
I’m wondering if you will do the AT thru hike in the near future? Also, did you have any issues with Ticks? Of ALL the creatures out there, ticks freak me out the most
@@tarynpemberton that's totally fair, I don't mean to suggest Lyme isn't an issue on the west coast at all. Just if you look at the data and also data maps, the concentration of lymes disease is so so much stronger in all the states the AT goes through. So I just thought it was funny that person said they were scared of ticks and asked if she was doing the AT in the same comment. It threw me off haha.
I highly doubt you are using Better Help for therapy. They have a miserable reputation and questionable ethics. You lose credibility when you take sponsorships from disreputable companies.
@@jadasakuraI think the comment was appropriate and respectful. Why can’t viewers give their opinions when a TH-camr is trying to promote a questionable service?
Please don’t promote BH. Its business practices are horrible. It sells client information and not all of the staff is licensed. It does not take health insurance. So many better choices.

What a nice idea, interacting with your viewers and being so open and forthright. This was a great point to in the series open up the questioning!
So much amazing & useful info - really greatly appreciate everything you share.
Thank you for answering question. I found it very interesting. I find myself anticipating to next episode. What a great experience.
Just wondering if there will be a video 11 and on for the rest of the PCT hike through Cali? I’ve loved following along with you as you hiked ❤
Yep there absolutely will! I just took a two week break from the regular episodes to get these ones out before the hiking season gets into full swing!!
@@KrystaNorwick Yay! Thank you! 🙏🏻 🥳
Really appreciated this Q&A, it was super interesting ❤ thanks for all your work Krysta
Love your videos and how honest and vulnerable you are willing to be. thanks for this great information❤

Thanks for these last couple of videos, the timing was great for this little break!
Good morning happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Thank you!! Vlogs are coming back next Sunday for the rest of my PCT series :)
@KrystaNorwick yay I'm excited and your thumbnails is amazing 👏
Thanks for ALL the info!! This was extremely helpful and insightful 😊

Haha that's funny! I wish I could be as funny as a comedian 😂
Thank you for all this info.
Did you find it hard to eat vegan along the way? Like finding food options in town etc?

Yes, Ticks are also a big fear of mine, and I would love insight on that.
The AT isn't as appealing for a lot of West coasters.
Plus way way more ticks on the AT than the PCT. Source: lived in NC for 8 years. Also lived in NJ
@@jadasakura I live in WA and the number of people I know with neurological Lyme is pretty scary.

The last thing you want to see is a cub and not mom, I'd be scared too 😅 glad it all ended well
Do you provide virtual PT?
I fear hiking alone as a man too.
First
Yay!
@@KrystaNorwick your welcome. Safe travels
I highly doubt you are using Better Help for therapy. They have a miserable reputation and questionable ethics. You lose credibility when you take sponsorships from disreputable companies.
Totally agree. Better Help is bad news. It’s hard to trust TH-camrs who promote them.
If you know they're bad then you already know not to use them. Don't understand what yelling at her for trying to pay her bills does
@@jadasakura No one is yelling. Just a helpful tip about the effects of using sketchy sponsors. I have no doubt she can find reputable ones.
@@jadasakuraI think the comment was appropriate and respectful. Why can’t viewers give their opinions when a TH-camr is trying to promote a questionable service?
I’m using Better Help and it’s helped me immensely. I love my therapist, group therapists, and webinars. I would recommend it to anyone.
Please don’t promote BH. Its business practices are horrible. It sells client information and not all of the staff is licensed. It does not take health insurance.
So many better choices.
