@Abby- Your anxiety box is amazing! ❤ Thank you for sharing that. I adore how this channel helps normalize prioritizing mental health. ❤

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Isn't it such a good idea?! I love Abby's anxiety box - I think I need to make my own!!

Truly the best combo!!

[@raeperonneau4941]

“panic attack box.” What a brilliant idea!

[@eyeseajujubee]

I love when Tucker joins in on the trips! He adds to the sweet and chaotic vibes. In AZ we always stomp during rattlesnake season to try not to sneak up on them.

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

He really does!! He’s such a vibe. We love him 🩷

Did I just watch a Miranda video were she didn't burp? Is the world coming to an end? 🤣

[@PwnageFury]

One of the things I love about your trips is you are real and feel free to complain and grumble if/when things are hard, yet you also keep in perspective that the hard parts are not the whole experience and things can be really great even if there are moments that are hard and cranky. I am thinking of those trips with a lot of elevation that are really challenging and you persist and get the reward of doing something really rewarding.

[@carriehikes]

My fav hiking channel Tucker Goes Outside!!🦮🐕🐶

[@IronmanV5]

Right when I thought "if only they had some beer, wine, or booze" Miranda gets the wine from the creek 🤣 You should have Tucker, Rainer, and Abby on camera more often.

[@minimalisa]

This video was so much fun! Thank you for letting us hang out with you all.

[@Tcrowe406]

When you put the down hood on all I could imagine is "Dark Helmet" from SpaceBalls the movie! blahahahaha

All of this positive, silly energy is what we need more of in the world ❤️ ya’ll are simply the best

[@duanevan9791]

This video IS Miranda, gosh darn. I am here for this. A little bit of gear, a good bit of personality!

[@cyndikehrli8389]

Hey, Miranda, love your videos. Re: rattlesnakes: I lived in the woods w/my family for 28 years, and they do not always rattle. They blend in and are often hard to see. Best advice I can give is : be aware of your surroundings, don’t reach under rocks, jump over rocks/boulders and make noise when you are hiking and stay out of tall grass. Stay safe out there and keep making these great vids!

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm kinda mad we didn't get a "cool rattlesnake setting boundaries animation graphic" edit for the video. Really gorgeous trail and hike, Miranda. Thanks for another adventure 💚

[@lisabeamer5349]

This! Sticker idea!

[@thecma3]

As someone who always has the urge to need to do the bigger/harder/more technical trips, this is such a great reminder.

[@Coachchris_]

I don’t know if I’ve ever disliked a video of yours. But this one? I was smiling the whole time. Trips like this make the heart grow fonder. Tucker reminds me of my pup, always so excited to get in the tent when we set up camp.

[@lisabeamer5349]

They are the friend group we all want to be in❤

[@erikpedersen2103]

An easy way to make pancakes while backpacking is to put the powder mix in an old squeeze bottle (ketchup, mayonnaise, etc). And when you're ready to cook, just add water and shake

[@Aline_Studio]

Ooooh, that's such a good idea!

[@driver3899]

Who doesn't like a good cheese off next to a crystal clear stream by a trail full of wild flowers? You guys living that good life

[@chrismuldrow1667]

Pancake nonstick trick--get individual packets of ghee and use them. Melts on the pan, tastes buttery, shelf stable.

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

What a beautiful overnight backpack trip that was. I recently learned that stomping does not deter rattlesnakes. Smell and vision is how they get around. Being alert is key so we can leave each other alone. Giving them space to retreat was perfect as I understand it. I used to be scared to see one. Now I hope I see any wildlife.

[@thecma3]

"It's Miranda's first time drinking" was brutal omg

[@cwoollard1]

It is so nice that you have such a close nit group of friends that you can go hiking with

[@katebender4745]

These are the kinds of trips my friend and I love! We love to camp more than do super long hikes. So we started backpacking just as a means for spontaneous camping trips 😊

[@jjq9th]

This episode had it all it was magical thank you for sharing all this and the hard work that goes into every minute of capturing these moments 😊❤️

[@matthewb.7172]

13:32 I think the jury is still out on this. I’ve stopped worrying about it, since I don’t think mold will be what does my sleeping pad in before something else does, like a rock or the sun melting the plastic.

[@guille_snapshooter]

on cold weather trips i carry some coconut oil for my pancake mix. since it goes hard when its cold, its easy to carry without leaving a mess

[@e.a.steutel7874]

Absolutely love your energy! If i ever find a hiking partner that has your purity i will call myself the luckiest man alive. Keep up the energy and wish you all the best nature has to offer🤙🏻

[@jenniferjohnson995]

I love this so much! Ingalls Creek is such a special place. It was where I first took my kids backpacking and I’ve been several times to see the flowers. Didn’t used to see snakes, but the last couple times I have come across them. Thanks for showing an accessible idea for overnighting, not everyone can do big trips all the time. Sometimes we just want to go sit out in nature.

[@MonkeyofAwesome]

This video and the one of you packing your bag really gave off “talented friends who love the outdoors making videos” vibes, and I’m all for it.

[@kerrywilliams8100]

Have to watch your videos every time. Your energy and simple enjoyment of the outdoors is infectious. Keep smiling and keep laughing.

[@tt8581]

Oh, my heart! You guys & your wonderful friendship with each other & the PNW & a very good doggo. All just so lovely.

[@triciaritter8744]

Loved this! I actually did my first solo backpacking trip a couple of weeks ago on the Ingalls Creek Trail and stayed in the same campsite. It was great!!

[@rashaski]

You go! I hope I can get the guts to do one myself. 🙂

[@cynthialiberatore368]

I call anything with water a water feature! I love water! You should hike the narrows in Zion National Park! Thats a great hike! Wish I could adopt all of you so I could hike with people that want to hike! In my early 60s so not a lot of campers in that age. You guys are so much fun!

[@wiktoria_dyszy]

I was smiling all over this video, good to see you had relaxing backpacking trip and the Tucker what a lovely doggie ❤

This looked like a wonderful hike and camping trip with friends. Looks so relaxing and laid back too. Can't think of a better way to spend an overnighter.

Haven’t tuned in for too long - so good to see you again! Loved this laid back awesome camp, and learned a valuable lesson on putting the pack into the tent- - thanks Rainer! Learned a lot from your posts- which is how I chose most of my equipment. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us- love ya! ❤️🌿🌿🧘🏼🙏

[@christinaelliott8565]

Your channel is right up there in the top three KZbin channels that I watch regularly and that are the most helpful and enjoyable to watch. Question: Please do an evaluation on various devices to weigh gear (seen early in this video).

[@kristymoore7052]

Fun video! I haven’t gone this season yet. It’s not open yet. Waaa. Bummer about the pack. I ALWAYS put all of my stuff inside my tent, including poles after marmots chewed my cork.

[@mlease1]

First off, Tucker is clearly the star! Secondly, I would be super interested to see more of Rainer’s set up with Tucker as I myself wanna start bringing my doggo with me. And lastly, how do you find beginner hikes and trails so one does not over push themself? PS, please keep being awesome!! PPS, would love to also see a video when you have a set budget and you have to create a setup for an overnight. Thanks!!

[@The_jacobi]

I’ve been getting more and more into camping / backpacking and this channel has been such a great resource for knowledge and just fun as hell to watch! Cheers keep the videos coming 🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️

It's so funny to be watching one of your vids, only to get an REI ad that is another one of your vids. "We interrupt Miranda to bring you... more Miranda!" lol

What a lovely, chill, magical trip! Thanks for taking us along! I’m manifesting a friend group like this will find me, so I can finally start backpacking for real and go on overnight trips like this with some cool people like yall ❤ (anyone in the PDX area needing a backpacking buddy, pick me!) Also, def going to be stealing Abby’s panic attack box idea 😂❤

[@tjklmnop]

Miranda! What timing! We just moved to the area and we almost did Ingall! I don't know why I didn't think about doing less of a longer trail, so we decided a super short overnighter to Lake Talapus and Ollalie. There really is something to a short chill overnighter after having my past trips be big mileage days.

[@sishaq94]

Our Pacific Rattlesnakes here in Washington are the most chill and docile of all the rattlesnake species in the US. They will literally not strike unless they are stepped on. I know because I have accidentally stepped right beside one on more than one occasion.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... A close in short term outing is what the mind and spirit sometimes needs just to reset from daily stresses ... I don't thru hike and most of my outings are 3-5 days to alpine lakes to fish and just take in what nature has to offer ... If I can find others that can fit in the time and interest it's always a good time ,, but I don't always plan very far in advance so most of my extended trail time is solo ... which I thoroughly enjoy .. can make plan changes along the way if desired ... and YES ,, a small squeeze bottle of cooking oil is always a needed item in the cook kit .. .. For your pancake batter ,, check and bring ingredients to make Bannock bread ,, can be wrapped on a stick or around a Hotdog or sausage .. NO pan needed .. ... Enjoy your videos ... Stay Safe ...

[@amigatommy7]

[@roberttrinies7698]

Suddenly I want a backpacking chair .😊

[@Terry-v3e]

Thanks y’all for all the great content!!!! It’s just so gosh darn educational and fun!!!! Now I have a few years on y’all and my camping/hiking is a little different than y’all’s but I was so glad that I heard the weights on y’all’s packs. I purchased an Atlas Adventure a while back because of the reviews and the ability to carry the media equipment I use. I love it but I seem to unpack, repack it a lot more than use it. But I guess that’s part of the fun. So I keep shaving things out of it to cut down on the weight. So last night I made up my mind to trim it down one more time and I got it down to 22 lbs. So I’m going to stop because I still have to add water and a few other things but I’m I’ve just got to go!!! So Thanks Y’all!!!!!!!

[@soniajindal1723]

What’s the app you’re using to locate campsites?

[@karinarey6488]

I definitely loved this trip for you four and want more Tucker all the time, please! He looks just like my baby, Sasha who would have loved camping. I actually made pancakes on the only backpacking trip I’ve done. It was a backpacking class at Fresno State, Go Dogs! 🐶 I mixed the ingredients at home and froze it the night before leaving. (I thought that would be most hygienic 🤷🏻‍♀️) I must have put it in a ziploc or old PB jar, don’t remember. My friend took coconut oil and we made it over our stove in one of those little egg pans 🍳 We added blueberries and it worked out great!

I absolutely lost it when Miranda flicked the ant off her pee funnel and Rainer added a cut off scream.

[@briandoolittle3422]

13:32 Thats a myth. inflating a sleeping pad directly does not cause the inside to mold. There are lots of other youtubers that have demonstrated that as a myth, and in my own personal experience of inflating my sleeping pads for years that way, Ive never experienced any mold.

[@rickz9495]

Tell that to my thermarest all season sv, it is 7 years old and has had a hard life. Its full off dark spots on the inside. But with normal use probably not a problem. I got an xlite nxt to replace the all season and will only use a tinypump to blow it up(because im lazy lol)

[@briandoolittle3422]

@@rickz9495 The dark spots are almost certainly the mylar film flaking. You can find a lot of videos here on youtube of people cutting open xlites with dark spots, and finding its flaking mylar, not mold.

[@briandoolittle3422]

@@rickz9495 The dark spots are probably Mylar flakes coming off the reflective layer. This can happen whether you blow it up with your breath or not, and is just an issue of aging pads with Mylar layers. I cant seem to find the multiple videos Ive seen addressing this topic, but Ive seen several videos where people with an Xlite with dark spots cut open their pad and its just that, and theres no mold. The reality is, almost all the moisture is removed from the pad when you deflate it, and a pad is not a very good environment for mold to grow in. Theres no nutrients to grow in. Mold needs more than just air and moisture. Not to shame anyone for using a pump or airbag. Its WAY easier, and I bring a pumpbag myself. I don't like getting lightheaded from blowing up my enormous pad lol. I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with either method.

[@alethearobinson8132]

Cut open one of my older Thermarest pads. It was damp and had clumps of mold/ bacteria. Soooo gross. Every breath a person exhales contains moisture and germs. That is biology.

[@briandoolittle3422]

@@alethearobinson8132 Well, according to a lot of tests Ive seen, that is an outlier situation. Are you sure you didn't store it in a damp location? Considering your saying that the sleeping pad was damp when you cut it open, it seems like its a storage issue.
