Campfire Diaries: A Solo Backpacking Journey & Deep Thoughts

  • Come along on my solo backpacking journey as I venture into the depths of the wilderness. While I hike through the forest I share my deep thoughts on the profound nature of decision-making and my personal struggles with it. Upon reaching my destination I assemble my shelter and trek out to find firewood. With twilight descending I start to process the wood before starting a fire and cooking up a well-earned juicy hamburger for dinner. The following day I start my morning with another fire and more cooking as I fuel up to break down camp and make my way back to civilization.

    As someone who is dealing with a pretty bad general anxiety disorder, OCD and some depressive disorder and only just recently began getting help. So, I am still in the thick of it. It is a struggle and some days I just want to throw in the towel. But hearing from those like yourself and like Mikhaela who have been through it and overcame it gives me hope that maybe I am not a lost cause after all. Thank God for you both and I can't wait to see more great content from you, guys.
    And speaking of content... Have you considered hiking the Appalachian Trail? I know it won't be as challenging as the PCT (a series I am thoroughly enjoying), but it might offer up some good content as well.

    • @MikhaelaBryden
      @MikhaelaBryden  22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      You are not a lost cause. This life is hard, and getting help is so important and I am proud of you for doing that. A lot of people struggle to get help because of their ego, and I believe there is no shame in wanting better for yourself. I am so glad you are liking the content and I am sending to much love your way🫶
      As far as the Appalachian Trail, I know Nate is interested in completing the triple crown which that is apart of so I think at some point he would like to do that. I am not quite sure on through hiking to that extent like he is since I am just now getting into camping and backpacking.

    Great place for you to do some deep thinking and decision making! Wonderful video, thank you for sharing with us. How much did your bag weigh with a full size axe and handsaw? If you never want to backpack with someone, let me know. I have some amazing places I love in Washington and Oregon.

      @@manwha-recap Hi! I answered this in a previous comment but the area was drenched in a downpour rain for days prior to this trip so I was not confident that I even could find dry wood and I almost didn’t. I’m also new to backpacking and camping and wanted to use what I knew how to for cooking rather than bringing extra stuff to cook over a fire that I didn’t know if I could even get going. Wanted to keep it simple. But the fire was sure nice for keeping warm I’ll tell you that much! Thanks for watching!☺️

      Thanks! & Yeah, I get that. I’d say for the majority of people they’re right there with you on that one. But for an overnighter, it’s not really a big deal to me. If it were long distances and multiple days then yeah, no way😂
