    Well.. at least you learned how nice and dry car camping is. I'd call it a win. Knowledge is everything !
    👍 Rock on 🙂.

    Don't feel too bad - like every one of my backpacking trips, there was SOMETHING that went wrong; it's a learning opportunity. 😉 You DID have bear spray and a book! 😊
    Note: there's a Brown's Outdoor store in Port Angeles, WA, where you might find some cheap gear. Even a Walmart Ozark Trails tent would be better than nothing.
    Good luck to you! (Beautiful landscape, BTW)

  • @jenniferlenfestey5335

    I can’t believe you left Bus Bus alone and scared all night! 😱
    It could have been worse, the ocean might have visited you in the wee hours before dawn.
    Don’t give up. One of our best tents was a painters tarp A-framed over a fallen tree, we were in college. Families mocked our dirt bagging it until 8 inches of snow unexpectedly passed through, Mountains, you gotta love them! The next morning we were high and dry and the “Expensive” gear all collapsed and those that mocked us were cold, wet, and miserable. We offered to hike out with them as a group due to the new snowfall, but they missed our departure time and who knows whatever happened to them.
    Don’t give up, sleep above the high tide line, and maybe invest in a rain-fly.

  • @maddy7418
    @maddy7418 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    You did it! Don’t sell yourself short just because you packed up early. The day light was present when you left so it’s safe to say this was a win! I admire the fact you cowboy camped, I would be a bit nervous to camp like that.
    I’ve heard good things about the Naturehike cloud up 2 person tent. You could probably go with the one person as it’s just yourself though! My dog would smother me if I went with the one person lol.
    The tent is only $109 so cost wise not too bad in the realm of tents. From the video reviews I’ve watched, it’s a great balance between quality and affordability. It’s not too heavy either!
    It’s the tent I plan to go with once I’ve built up the grit to backpack. My heart wants to so bad, but my brain is getting caught up on the risks. As a child I used to run away and go live in the forest for days, with minimal supplies. So I know that I can do it and nothing tried to eat me when I camped then 😂
    This video motivates me to push myself outside of my comfort range like you did. If you can camp out on the beach alone in bear country, my dog and I can do it in big kitty country lol

    • @maddy7418
      @maddy7418 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      By the way, the Nature hike one person is a tad cheaper at $89.99 compared to their two person.

    It was an adventure! Last time I went camping, I had a cheapo tent and a way too big blow up double decker mattress.. the last night it got down to 28 degrees and I rolled off the mattress and was kinda stuck between the tent wall and side of the mattress... I still look back and laugh about it.. it was an adventure... You are right about the high end good backpacking equipment, but depending on how far you plan on hiking you can get away with cheaper Walmart stuff at least at first to make sure you like it.

    Nothing to be sorry about, maybe you could have put the tarp over the logs like a lean to. I camped on the side of a hill in the Alaska and put plastic underneath me and on top of me to keep my sleeping bag dry and when I woke up, I was about 10 yards down the hill because there was a heavy fog in the grass was wet, nothing ventured nothing gained.

    You kept referring to yourself and your plan as "stupid". Well m'darlin, I disagree....Your 26th president wrote a speech called "In The Arena". In it he refers to daring greatly. I think stupid is NOT daring greatly! Finding your "gal balls" and daring to live wholeheartedly in lifes arena, the fear be damned does not a stupid woman make!

    Emma, you did do what you set out to do. You did spend the night ON the beach. You just didn't sleep ON the beach. Ask yourself, which exactly was the thing you always wanted to do ON the beach? You said you failed on this long-awaited wish of yours. My dear, you just failed to sleep in it is all. You accomplished everything else, in spite of bears, and not enough gear, and a long night of mist. And because you padded your beach dream by having your bus bus a short walking distance away was using some good intuition. Nothing wrong with that👌.

    Dont fall into all that gear hype. Youll be more than capable buying some stuff at Walmart or off amazon. I backpack alot and i dont think i have any "backpacking" gear. Use what you have available. You didnt fare so bad. Your first few trips will always be bad because you dont know what you need and what you dont need. As you do it more youll learn the essentials and what you can leave behind. Happy trails!
