In this episode, I share an incredibly valuable strategy for any hikers who are looking at doing an adventure which they are not 100% confident in completing. (This is particularly important for anyone who is dealing with some type of pain or injury)

If there’s a bigger jump to take than day hikes to overnight hikes, it would have to be jumping from overnight hikes to multi-day pack carry hikes.
In my opinion, the mindset shift is without a doubt the biggest hurdle to overcome. Day hiking involves, as the name suggests, hiking a trail for a day with a small day pack carrying only what you absolutely need. Overnight hikes, for most, start off with driving to a campsite, finding a basecamp & pitching your tent, and then heading off somewhere for a day hike and returning to your campsite at days end. You’re going to eat mostly different food to what you might eat during a day hike, but you do have the safety net of having your car nearby. Furthermore, the biggest difference is that you’ll be sleeping in a tent. But, multi-day hikes are a different kettle of fish. With that in mind, this blog will go through how I believe you should plan for your first multi-day hike. |
