I've only been camping once but as a kid I used to bushwhack the state land that lay beyond our pasture with my younger sister. At the time she resented begin dragged along but thanks me now for giving her an appreciation for the great outdoors. She's off hiking every chance she gets. I've always wanted to do the CDT except I would like to do it by horse . As Gus McCrea said in Lonesome Dove "There's nothing like riding a fine horse into new country" All I have to do is get the horses and mules and convince my sister to join me on this crazy expedition. So why am I watching a backpacking video? First of all you have such great food ideas and cavalry has to eat the same as the infantry. Second I like a lot of your gear picks. Much of the gear that backpackers are using are being adopted by equestrians due to its light weight and ease of transport. Now instead of needing a string of a dozen or more horses and mules to carry your stuff you can just get by on just a single pack animal or even your riding horse. Congratulations Amanda, you've brought different types of outdoor enthusiasts together on just one channel. That's more than a lot of people can claim to do on Social Media. In the end weather we're utilizing wheels, hooves or feet we all got the same need to be somewhere that isn't covered over with concrete or asphalt. There's no reason we can't all enjoy the great outdoors in our own special way.

I love the fresh air and reading my kindle/ sleeping and cuddling my dog in my hammock.

A country girl at heart, i started backpacking about 3 years ago. To hear the sound of nature so wonderful! My next backpacking trip will be in August can’t wait! Nothing wrong going at a steady pace. Corina...

i love backpacking because of nature and challenges. in august i did a local backpacking loop called broken top loop with my cousin, uncle, and dad. we did summit, and went about 35 miles over 22 nights. it felt so rewarding to push myself, and seeing nature and camping outside feels amazing. it had some amazing lakes, and small things you notice along the trip can make it amazing. we had pretty sunsets, a night time thunderstorm, and it was the best backpacking trip i've had.

Amanda, I believe this is the best video I've seen of yours sofar. The camera work was great and the music you used was perfect. As far as what I love about backpacking is getting a total recharge from being outside, going at my own pace down the trail less traveled and experiencing this creation called earth. We only get so many sunrises and sunsets, and I don't want to miss any of them.

I have never gone on overnight hikes, but love day hikes. It's getting back to nature, the smells, sounds and feeling of freedom. Away from normal day to day responsibilities.

What’s not to love about backpacking. The burn, the hunger, the sweat. The clarifying effect of walking on my thoughts and mood cannot be beat! It’s not just endorphins. It’s nature, oxygen and removal from ‘modern society’ and it’s complexities. I could and have lived out of my backpack, damn - so that’s why the suburban scene feels so damn heavy! A weekend haul absolutely energises me for the working week.. which in turn pays for hiking goodies

Just started backpacking this summer and we absolutely love it! Great exercise, beautiful scenery, feeling closer to nature, getting far away from the craziness of civilization lol. We’ve gone out 4 times so far and hope to get out at least one or two more times before it gets too cold.

Never been backpacking. I day hike with one of my sons. Love hiking. The woods make me feel fresh and unencumbered. More things seem possible. A good hike clears my mind and give me a feeling of accomplishment. God is good to have given us such riches where we can feel the benefits of space and nature. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Great question! Lately I find hiking very grounding- I can hear birds singing, feel rocks in my shoes, smell the trees, and name the different types of trees I see. Time slows down for me and I can take a break from my thoughts or let them flow. Going for a walk is simple to do and you don't need any "stuff". Taking time during the day makes all the difference!

For me, the day goes by quickly. (Time flies when you're having fun)

I love the peace and silence out there. And i love backpacking.

I love hiking because nature is a great stress relief. Being in nature you challenge yourself, live a simpler life style (for a short time) and view things most people who don’t go out in the wild never will see. It’s awesome!

The deeper bond you create with your friends.

I have spent my life being so reliant on other people and being dependent on other people for my well being and happiness. When I go backpacking...it’s just me. I am the sole person responsible for my day to day life and accomplishments

I have never backpacked before but love hiking and camping. Im drawn to it because I love the idea of just like "running away" almost and camping out. Like you can stop literally wherever you want to sleep then wake up and keep going. So so cool. I love your content, thank you so much!

I have been on a canoe trip, which is similar in a way, but instead of walking you paddle most of the way and can have heavier bigger packs because you don’t need to carry them as long. I love canoe trips because I just get to escape from the world and just live. I don’t need to think about politics, there is no news coming in we are so far out of service. I am only 13 years old, but when I’m canoeing in nature, I feel connected to Mother Earth, and like you, I too get a surge of energy after a few days in the wilderness. I watch these kind of videos because I was supposed to go to the boundary waters in Minnesota for 12 days with a camp, but it was cancelled due to Covid-19. I still got to go but for only 5 days and with my dad and my friend and my friends dad. Thank you for the video, I need to get back to the wildnerness to recharge.

This is soo soo sooo refreshing...thank you

Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

Lush Utah is truly special! Awesome vid

Beautiful video! I love backpacking as it helps me get detached from the stress of daily life and makes me feel integrated with mother nature.

Thank you for the wonderful video. I love backpacking because it takes me away the from busy routine many call life . . . away from cars, away from crowds, away from seeing any buildings . . . to bask in nature, listen to her music . . . the wind in the trees, the chorus of birds . . . and to watch the Nature chanel . . . and appreciate the handiwork of the Perfect Gardener.

My wife and I love backpacking for.....everything. The places we experience first and foremost. But even 'the suck' as we call it when you're miles from where you need to be gives a great sense of accomplishment once it's all done. I also like the photography and videography and even video editing. Let's me relive the trip. That trail was beautiful, by the way. Nothing like I've ever seen in Utah. So green! Looks awesome.

The freedoms you get from backpacking does as you say, recharge the soul. That the why, for me. Enjoyed your vid, by the way.

Thank you for an awesome experience. I'm actually going on my first backpacking trip of the year this coming weekend so i'm very excited.

Thank you for the wonderful video. The allure of the back country has always been the same for me, never wavering or faltering regardless of my mindset...or of obstacles, dangers, stresses or pressures. Experiencing life in it's simplicity, yet in such grandeur and beauty actually humbles me just enough to find access to the grace I need to be a better person. For me, there is treasure beyond value when the struggles of the trail, the technical planning, the aches and pains suddenly fade and the true beauty of the moment arrives like a drawn curtain. It happens for me on every adventure...I can also see it in your videos which is rare and unexpected.

Great video. Beautiful scenery. I backpack because it’s a chance to push myself beyond what I “feel” I can only do. It’s a soul / spirit detox when I have completed my adventure.

Thanks for taking us along on your trip! I’m looking forward to getting out there again. Had knee surgery in January, so I’m working on my fitness before I tackle a long trail. Life can be crazy, but hiking and backpacking let us go wild!

I don't know if I can articulate everything I love about backpacking... I love the sense of adventure. The simplicity (especially compared to my normal work/home sometimes frantic life). I love the inimate connection with the earth and the scenery. I love the independence of it. I find myself getting gitty watching backbacking videos on youtube, or even geeking out over lighter or better gear. I like the nervous feeling I get the night before a long trip. I love to disconnect from my electronic life. (I'm a computer programmer...also live in Utah) I love the moments where I can be with friends and my fam without any pretense or distraction. I like the quiet moments and letting my thoughts carry where they will as I hike on. Those are a few of my thoughts on why I love to backpack. I admit I have often dreamed about doing one of the major thru hikes (PCT, CDT, AT), but I don't know how I could leave my life and especially work for 4-6 months. Who knows. Maybe I'll settle for doing the John Muir Trail section hike at some point. Great channel, amazing production. More backpacking vids are my request. :)

Amanda, love the channel and heavily rely on your sage advice, thank you! What you're recommendation for water carrying on a 2-day backpack? Our last water source will be in the morning after breakfast; we hike 11 miles to our evening campsite, then we won't be near a water source again until 4pm the following afternoon (so say 30 hours without a water source). Morning coffee is a must and we'll be using backpacking food, which should be our only two water usages outside of hydration. What's a good target amount to carry, and what's the best method? (I have a 3L bladder, separate 1l and 2l bladders, and 32oz Nalgeeen type bottles). Thanks in advance!

Definitely an inspiring video! Would love to plan my first backpacking trip soon this summer. This video like you intended was relaxing to watch, that closeness to nature and peaceful scenery is a push to get out there for a weekend!

What I like about hiking. Hmm. I am in remission from leukemia for 4 1/2 years now. I started hiking as a form of exercise. Now, I hike many miles for the peace of mind it gives me. Every hike is different (even on the same trail) i often reflect on where I was before. During my fight, I spent at least a year of that in the hospital. Now, 20 mile hikes are part of my hiking plan. By the way, I love your channel. Keep up the good work!

I've only gone once backpacking as a high school trip during the start of the fall year and I absolutely loved it!

I also love seeing the beautiful nature sceneries that come along with backpacking (I love nature). It makes me feel in my element sort to speak. It would be nice to experience that again.

Why I backpack. I started over 40 years ago, solo hiking from age 16. I seem happiest in the backcountry, while seeing and experiencing things a lot of people never get to do. There’s nothing like cowboy camping alone, with the wind in the trees and the stars shining overhead. Like you, I sometimes need to recharge and backpacking does this for me. All of my hiking has been in the east, in Maine, the White Mountains, Vermont, the Adirondacks, and the Great Smokies. Your videos make me want to visit Utah. Where was the hike shown in this video?
