Growing up with brothers in the Boy Scouts, and doing a lot of hiking myself, I always, always pack the 10 essentials, even if the hike is super short. Sometimes it feels like overkill, but it's so engrained in my head to be prepared in case something goes wrong. So, it's interesting to see how other people prep for their hikes, because I'm such an extreme!
My last vlog was a hike in the Valley of Fire (Just outside of Las Vegas)! I'm a videographer in Vegas and had to grab some footage out there, and thought I'd make use of my time by putting together a Vlog! You've motivated me a lot, I am always impressed at your growth and know that i can do it to.
Yasss! I love going on long walks and being out in nature. Gives me so much peace and joy. I think it’s something we all need in these times. Excited to watch🤗💗
Cool video! We’ve got some gorgeous mountains just outside of Tucson, Arizona where I live, but I like watching videos like these of other places. Keep your content coming! I’m following!
Go check out Tannehill State Park, towards Tuscaloosa from Birmingham. Great creeks, camping, hiking - gettin' out place! Lots of historical stuff also.
Beautiful scenery in this vlog! Enjoyed the hike with you both! Thanks for the pill session, I also have issues with taking vitamins ..nice to know "it happens elsewhere" LOL 👍🐕😀💀
Good thinking with the pepper spray! When I lived alone I used to carry around a rape alarm and I would wear it around my neck. There was a pin to pull out and it would make a super high decibel alarm sound that was supposed to deter anyone from trying to attack me. I never had to use it thank goodness. Stay safe, gurl!
I'm just as scared of encountering an animal 😅. We have coyotes and the odd cougar in our surrounding parks/forested areas, soooo that freaks me out a little, lol.
So cool Cathrin!!! I love love love that you and Fancy are hikers! Please know that if you are interested in hiking Oregon I have a gajillion trails for you to explore and Oregon LOVES DOGS!!! You would love it here!!! Love your awesomeness!!!
I would always bring snacks anyway because the thing with hiking is that things can happen, you could get stuck and water, food and something to keep warm are mandatory. 🤔
Cool video. I can relate to not feeling safe on the trail and hiking in areas that might be questionable. There have been times when I am out on the trail creating hiking content and realize I have not seen anyone in awhile and find myself holding the gimble just a bit tighter then I normally do incase I have to use it as a defensive weapon. It can get un-nerving, especially when it becomes really quiet, or you see a group of guys coming in your direction who dont look like they are really there to hike. So yes, I will admit it, guys get scared to. Some things I have done to help protect myself, I stopped taking what can look like expensive camera and gear to a bad actors who might have bad intentions. I now use a gopro that I can attach to my back pack strap so I can be hands free when I start getting the willies and put my other camera and gear in the pack so it is out of sight. Pepper spray, or bear spray is good, but illegal in national parks. I do carry a knife in my pack, but dont want to carry it on the outside of the pack because that could cause others to feel nervous when our paths meet. A whistle is a good idea for several reasons. It alerts other hikers in the area that you need help, it also helps to scare off some unwanted attention from the local wildlife, human and animal, or in a worst case helps search and rescue find you if you cant move. Anyways, I enjoyed this video very much. Have a wonderful week.
Ha ha. I have a similar problem swallowing pills. I worked out if I chew up some food then pop the pill in with the chewed food I can swallow it easily that way. Once it’s in the food you don’t really know the pill is there. 😊
girl I've been so swamped with work since I took the weekend off that I haven't gone! it's still on my to-do list to go this week though so definitely this weekend I'll check!
I take pills doing that trow back my neck thing, only thing that works for me. Fancy following you around knowing whats about to happen is soo cute😍🐕 That lake and its water was gourgeous 😘🥰
AJ (of AJ and Gill): I also have BAD PTSD from choking on an oddly shaped pill before, and I have to mentally prepare myself almost into a Zen state in order to swallow it. I definitely can relate!
I was grabbed by a man while I was walking alone in Seattle. I was able to defend myself and got away safely. It really is a scary thing that can happen to you so I’m so glad someone sent you pepper spray. You never know what could happen.
Also for self defense purposes, I wouldn't say what weapons or self defense protection you carry with you nor would I give the details, especially with a big platform, JUST INCASE you never know what type of people find you on here, but if someone knows if/what/and where you have your weapons, you basically just disarmed yourself from your weapon because they now may have a plan of attack. This really goes for anyone though, don't share especially where you keep your self defense/ protection, no matter how big or little of a following you have!
Hi! I love yours videos & especially your Vlogs. Just hope you’re okay & I know this is your job but if you need to take a slight break for your mental health, i & I think many people would support you :)
For swallowing pills (because I’m the same), my mom would hold my nose closed and it makes you naturally want to swallow in order to breathe through your mouth because obviously you can’t breathe through you nose and you panic lol.
I used to be able to swallow pills like the big “horse” pills but now I can’t take any pills I chew them, which taste disgusting but it’s better than swallowing them in my opinion 🤢
i was 20 or 21 when i learned to swallow pills. I would crush them up and put it in apple sauce. To this day i still have to sike myself up to swallow a pill though, you are not alone.
ohhhhh I change my favorite plant all the time! currently it's my peperomia but I do love all my OG babies that have been with me for years so my snake plant that's on my fireplace, LOVE HIM! and my pothos too. Just so proud of their growth!
I’m not trying to be dramatic, but I would do anything for Fancy. She’s so freaking cute!!! 😍😍
Have you ever had the chance to hike in the Pacific Northwest? (I’m from Washington)
Spring/summer is GORGEOUS and I think you’d love it 😍
no not yet! It's definitely on fancy's and my bucket list!
Hello, fellow Washingtonian! What's your favorite hiking location? I love hiking to the Pool of the Winds in the Columbia River Gorge!

heck yes you gotta take advantage of the opportunity! 🤗
I also pack three water bottles, but I always bring a snack because we spend hiking more time than we thought. Hope you have a nice day! 💙😊🌼
Automatically liking and commenting because I just love Cathrin and Fancy!!!! Love both your channels hun!!! 💜
awe love youuuuuu
You psyching yourself up to take the pill was HILARIOUS
😂😂 I didn't even include the whole thing! every morning it's a struggle lol
I love how Fancy knows exactly what is up like she reads your mind! Smart little girl!
hahaha she is so smart!
I really liked this vlog! Such pretty views and loved your security tips!👌🏻
Fancy seems like such a smart and incredible dog🥺💕
Ahhahaha Fancy was lurking hard😂 She was trying her best to be patient😍
Love your vlogs a lot *-* Would love to see more work bts those vlogs are my fav!!
Nice video, thanks for sharing 🔥 Have a great weekend!!
It's so relaxing to watch your videos! 😍😍
What a lovely vlog!! Gorgeous hike! Thank you for showing us such a beautiful part of the world! 💙🙏✨
Yasss! I love going on long walks and being out in nature. Gives me so much peace and joy. I think it’s something we all need in these times. Excited to watch🤗💗
oh I so agree! I LOVEEEEE hiking!

Awww fancy looks so happy going for her hike!
Go check out Tannehill State Park, towards Tuscaloosa from Birmingham. Great creeks, camping, hiking - gettin' out place! Lots of historical stuff also.
I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to go for a walk in the forest behind my house. There is such a beautiful stream. 💜
oh that's so awesome it's right in your back yard! I'd be out there every day!
Looks like a great walk! I love my hydration backpack, definitely get a new set-up if you can't find the old camelbak one, it's worth it.
yeah I definitely need one! I've just been pushing it off lol
Beautiful scenery in this vlog! Enjoyed the hike with you both! Thanks for the pill session, I also have issues with taking vitamins ..nice to know "it happens elsewhere" LOL 👍🐕😀💀
I've always wanted to go hiking on my own but always talk myself out of it for some strange reason! 💖
Good thinking with the pepper spray! When I lived alone I used to carry around a rape alarm and I would wear it around my neck. There was a pin to pull out and it would make a super high decibel alarm sound that was supposed to deter anyone from trying to attack me. I never had to use it thank goodness. Stay safe, gurl!
oh that's smart! but same, I really hope I never have to use it but you just never know!
I'm just as scared of encountering an animal 😅. We have coyotes and the odd cougar in our surrounding parks/forested areas, soooo that freaks me out a little, lol.
Oh man! That hair thing, me too Cathrin! I also have those little pieces of hair that stick out right by my ears.
Beautiful park lets go swimming.
So cool Cathrin!!! I love love love that you and Fancy are hikers! Please know that if you are interested in hiking Oregon I have a gajillion trails for you to explore and Oregon LOVES DOGS!!! You would love it here!!! Love your awesomeness!!!
Did you ever hike the many parks while you were living in New York? The color of the lake reminds me of Green Lakes in NY.
You've inspired me to start getting my hike on!! We're visiting the grand canyon and sedona soon 😍 I can't wait!!
oh my gosh both places are GORGEOUS!!! I hope you love it!!
@@CathrinManningVlogs I'm so excited! I grew up 2 hours from the grand canyon and I've never been 😂🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I would always bring snacks anyway because the thing with hiking is that things can happen, you could get stuck and water, food and something to keep warm are mandatory. 🤔
I spy a Wegmans water bottle. Wegmans FTW 😂
I love this vlog! It was really interesting and had me engaged the whole time! Good job, Cathrin! I’m hoping to have a channel like yours one day! ❤️😍
oh I'm glad you liked it!
Saaaaame someday I will live right by a lake too. Theeeee besttttt😍😍😍😍
I love hiking. It looks so beautiful there. I have to travel a bit far to find 4 mile hikes.
oh no! I'm so grateful that this state park is less than 30 minutes away from my home!
I love hiking! Is that the best place you'd recommend in Alabama?
Going to try and vlog my hike tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration! Love your channel's 🙌
oh yesssss👏👏

Did you go to Vegas on your cross country trip? We definitely need B roll of that if so! 😁
No I went to Vegas years ago! I think I was still in college actually 😂
this lowkey made me wanna hike 😳
DO ITTTTTT

Yesss Can’t wait also Have You Checked your P O Box???? Also so excited and I did not see mondays video!!!

@@CathrinManningVlogs ok awesome can’t wait! Sorry I am so excited for it
You need to go to Cheaha State Park!
I take pills doing that trow back my neck thing, only thing that works for me. Fancy following you around knowing whats about to happen is soo cute😍🐕 That lake and its water was gourgeous 😘🥰
Loved the vlog!
Are you not able to take fancy off the leash at all?
i can't take pills yet I'm glad there is liquid medicine for my age lol
hahaha I soooo get that!
AJ (of AJ and Gill): I also have BAD PTSD from choking on an oddly shaped pill before, and I have to mentally prepare myself almost into a Zen state in order to swallow it. I definitely can relate!
oh my gosh no no no that's my worst nightmare!
@@CathrinManningVlogs I (Gill) gave him the heimlich and he survived, but I still keep a close eye when he takes his pills 😆
I was grabbed by a man while I was walking alone in Seattle. I was able to defend myself and got away safely. It really is a scary thing that can happen to you so I’m so glad someone sent you pepper spray. You never know what could happen.
oh my god this is so scary. It's literally every womans worst nightmare. So glad you are safe❤
I’m exactly the same when it comes to swallowing tablets hahah

Be careful with Fancy around lakes that color. If it's caused by cyanobacteria and she ingests any of it, it could make her very ill. Awesome vlog!
ur probably not gonna see this comment but this was one of ur best vlogs ever!😺😝
Yay!!☺❤✨
omg I also cannot take pills and about 95% of the time i throw up atleast once while trying to take pills and ALL my friends make fun of me!!
Hi! I love yours videos & especially your Vlogs. Just hope you’re okay & I know this is your job but if you need to take a slight break for your mental health, i & I think many people would support you :)
awe thank you so much! that means a lot to me 💕
On the main chanel could you do a video showing how to make anmated graphics in canva?
I don't make animated graphics on Canva 😂 so I can't create a tutorial on that!
Yay 😊 I am not good at swallowing pills either 😂

940 acres in 1927. Now 11,632 acres.
CATHRIN I LOVE YOUU SO MUCH,HOPE I BECOME AS SUCECASEFUL AS YOU 1 DAY !!
LOVE YOU TOO
You are not alone in struggling with pills, I'd be lost without chewy vitamins for adults 😂
I used to be able to swallow pills like the big “horse” pills but now I can’t take any pills I chew them, which taste disgusting but it’s better than swallowing them in my opinion 🤢
Love you 😍😍❤
love youuuu

Random question, what’s your favorite plant? 😂 🪴
ohhhhh I change my favorite plant all the time! currently it's my peperomia but I do love all my OG babies that have been with me for years so my snake plant that's on my fireplace, LOVE HIM! and my pothos too. Just so proud of their growth!
