Big mistakes solo hikers make 🌲🏕️🌲

In this video, I share the three big mistakes that beginner solo campers must stop making today unless they want to completely destroy their camping experience and never head out again.
If you’re planning your first or one of your first solo camping trips, then this is the video for you. Don’t end up making the same mistakes that so many other people do! 🌳🏕🌲🌳

Thanks for visiting my channel, my mission is to inspire and motivate others to spend time in nature and reconnect with the outdoors, wherever that might be and at whatever level they are comfortable with.
The best things in life happen when we're outside of our comfort zone and until we push our boundaries, we'll never know what we like or what we're capable of. Independent and self-supported travel is for all of us however sometimes knowing where to start, how to prepare or what to expect can be a little overwhelming. I'm here to help and encourage you on your way.

Thank-you for all that information. Made me think about a few things. I am yet to go out camping though I hike a lot i I understand the weather and terrain scenarios.
Omgosh.. That place is soo beautiful 💚 I would love to hike that and definitely stay overnight... Thank-you for sharing!!! ☺💚🌻

[@FreewheelingKiwi]

Thanks and glad it helped. Some of those issues raised apply equally to non campers. This is a fabulous track and if I’d continued further, I’d have arrived at a hut, as it was, I was there just for the day 🌳 😀🌳
