  • Join me on my 1st ever-backpacking trip in the Pinchot State Forest! I have been slowly collecting the gear needed to start doing overnight backpacking trips and the time has finally arrived!
    I am hiking the South Loop trail which is 14 miles on average, my trip ended up being 14.2 miles.

      Ohhh you know it! I love hiking miles and being able to camp, rest for the night and finish a long trail the next day.

    Mrs. Lumberjack is not very fond of bugs either. I hope that a good nights rest finds your spirits lifted during day two. Thanks for sharing!

    Hey Darcy .
    The pain of a pack is something that's hard to get used to . But the pain will pass .
    Very proud of you . Weather looked fantastic.
    Really enjoyed this

      Thank you! This was a great 1st day and I know my body will get used to carrying this pack. I am going over things I want to do differently for my next trip.

      @@darcyshikingdiaries Hey darcy a quick request. We have started a little pod cast that we try to do once a week and this week i was speaking about you and your trip and the forgot me box idea. Do you think it would be ok to accompany the speaking bit about you with a few clips from your channel , we will ref you in the descrition also.
      I also give you a shout out for this trip.
      let me know if you can at some stage. I will take the clips and if you don't like it we can remove the section afterwards.
      Hope you have a good day

    I'm so happy for you that you were able to go backpacking! I know how much you wanted to do this. I wonder if you should get one of those mesh bug face nets? They can be super helpful and really lightweight.

    • @darcyshikingdiaries

      I do have a face bug net but it's in my day hiking pack. I didn't think to pack it for this trip. Now I know...

    I'm so proud of you, great job finally just going out and doing it! I can't stand when another group is starting out on a trail right when I am, I have to let them get way ahead of me or I have to book it past them. Looks like you had some decent color in the forest I think fall is definitely coming early this year. I get shoulder soreness when I wear a pack every time no matter what... "Sore all over and loving every minute of it" made me laugh, I know exactly how you feel. Every backpacking trip I have been on I am like a kid on Christmas Eve before I start. By the time I finish I am saying to myself -what the hell did I just do to myself! " Then about a week later I want to do it again lol 😂. You definitely have your ups and downs on every trip, and you definitely learn from every experience which helps you on the next one. Great job!!!

    Good for you Darcy, so glad the trip went well for you! The bear canister is probably a bit overkill (just my humble two cents)
    Those canisters are heavy.
    Congratulations on your first backpacking trip! First of many I hope!
