Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Backpacking Essentials For?

This is perfect for you if:

You are new to backpacking and are not sure where to even begin.

You are terrified of going on your first solo hiking trip.

You feel like you aren’t fit enough, fast enough, or knowledgeable enough to have a safe and successful hike.

You are confused about gear – do you have everything you need? How do you get everything you need? Do you have way too much?

You have some day hikes under your belt and you’re ready to be a badass backpacker. But you need a little help physically, mentally and/or financially preparing for your first long distance hike.

What's Included?

You will also have lifetime access to my resource library of resources, gear checklists, and how-to skills videos, including any updates that are added over time.

This really is everything you need to know about choosing and packing gear, what to wear and eat, planning your first trip, skills like how to hang a bear bag or start a fire or use a map and compass, and how to stay as safe as possible on the trail.

Do you want to be a badass backpacker?

But maybe you’re not quite sure exactly what steps you need to take, skills you need to know, or gear you need to have to get there.

Whether you have no hiking experience at all or have some short day hikes under your belt, you can do this, and I can help.

I’m a Certified Professional Coach who fell in love with backpacking after walking over 1,300 miles of the AT and now help others experience the wonder of living and traveling in the great outdoors.
As a life coach, outdoor recreation professional, and avid hiker with a knack for logistical planning, I want to help you thrive on the trail.
