This is the second video in an intermission from my regular scheduled PCT episodes. Back to the PCT series next Sunday!
I heard you guys, I know there are A LOT of questions that you want answered. I tried my ABSOLUTE BEST to answer as many questions as possible in this episode (that's why it's so long)! I cannot believe how many excellent questions you all had. Big thanks to my husband Brian for helping me organize a spreadsheet so that I could keep track of which questions were the most popular.
I cover various topics from fear, to solo hiking, to how to get started hiking, to periods, to gear related questions, and more! If there is anything super important that I missed, let me know in the comments.
Love you all so much! Thank you for your continued support. I cannot believe I get to start working with sponsors, and that's all thanks to you! I hope that it means I can create even better videos for you :)

    Thank you so much for your video. I love all of them! One thing that I think is funny is that every time you say you’re a Canadian I think you are saying you’re a comedian and then I say to myself, “Oh she’s a comedian?”, but then I know you’re not a comedian so I have to remind myself of that every single time you say you’re a Canadian in your videos. And by the way, you’re not saying it wrong, I just hear things funny. Anyway, love you! Take care!

    It wasn't as hard as I expected it would be. There were some trail towns that had very minimal options. But, there were some SUPER small places that had incredible options. Like Seiad Valley. But, I think it would have been really hard to buy resupply in the small places, so for me it was usually necessary for me to send myself a resupply package.

    Were you able to send home your brush because you kept your hair in braids most of the time? Perhaps an odd question, but my hair gets tangled just sitting around and I'd rather not carry a brush if I don't have to. Thanks and your videos are great. You have a very calming and positive vibe.🍊

    Ya I think the braids helped a lot! But my hair doesn't normally get very tangled. I have no idea why, but I usually only brush it once a day at most and it doesn't need much. Some of the other women I hiked with had little brushes with mirrors. I thought that was a genius idea because you can use the mirror as a signal mirror if you ever need to get rescued, so it's like a back-up safety item too!

    @@tarynpemberton that's totally fair, I don't mean to suggest Lyme isn't an issue on the west coast at all. Just if you look at the data and also data maps, the concentration of lymes disease is so so much stronger in all the states the AT goes through. So I just thought it was funny that person said they were scared of ticks and asked if she was doing the AT in the same comment. It threw me off haha.
