FEMALE Hiker Secrets | Pacific Crest Trail

[@slotortoise6166]

Ingrid, I am in my 50's, and don't have my monthly cycle anymore, but I perspire SO much in that area! I find that when working out, I am most comfortable wth a panty liner. The U brand is very absorbent and fairly thin. I always feel dry, even when I'm not, and I think that it helps keep my undies cleaner as well as reducing chafing, since there isn't the extra moisture. It works for me!

[@TainoXtreme]

Very good video. I always carry female pads in my toiletries bag just in case I come across to a girl who needs it or for ones. I learned from you, Just now, to bring tampons in my toiletries to share with whomever needs them. What is your favorite shelter system? Thank you so much for sharing this video. God bless you.

[@lindahikes2760]

Brushes/combs are pretty important in tick areas. I always brush out my hair at night to make sure I don't have nasty ticks on my head. I know, gross but I have found a couple.

[@tiffariff]

90-100% Deet may be cancerous, but so is a lot of things, and to an arachnophobe who loves the outdoors, it’s well worth it 😹. I find hats and keep my hair tied up tight for as long as I can until I need to redo it works the best. I spray it on my hat and my hair and I’ve never had a tick really get me on scalp (and I have big curly hair thats to my hips). The only places they have gotten me is my neck and the places under my clothes where I didn’t spray the deet (One place I go is extremely tick friendly almost everyone who camps on our trips there gets typically at least one while there even if they only sleep there 2 nights, when they I spray it on exposed skin and the openings of my clothes and try to keep them tight (tuck pants into my boots, tuck my shirt in, but I can’t tighten around my arms holes or neck line that’s likely why they get through to my back).

[@tiffariff]

My freind got Lyme disease from a trip once and I just- I can’t get over the fear of getting it you know?

[@Virpukka]

I would suggest that those who are interested from the pee rag will find female hikers blogs about how to use it. It is not actually as nasty thing as it sounds and when you know how to care it it is also hygienic. I know it is something I'm going to learn how to use.

[@CampfireJubilee]

Some great ideas! I love the idea of using a buff for a pillow case, the Q-Tips, the razor in town, and also the nail clippers. I think a menstrual cup is best for me but I've also been using it for over 5 years before the trail - you have to be comfortable with it to be comfortable on the trail - dealing with it and cleaning it and everything. I'm still working on my trail routine with it. I will say keeping it cleaned properly is an important part of the process.

[@KuntryRD]

Been using a P-style for around 6 years. Beats dropping your pants in 10 degree weather and you don't have to go way off trail or hope no one comes along if you don't . Makes it easy to take a whiz from your tent or hammock in the rain too.

[@nemo6365]

As a new hiker I am so thankful that my mirena works properly which allows me to not have any period on the trail. I always feel bad for the ladies who thru hike and have to think ahead and plan for that every month. Thanks for all the great tips! Happy trails!

[@Ridogg81]

For your period use a diva cup. It’s a reusable cup that catches the blood and you just pull it out and empty the blood and put it back in, best thing that ever happened to me. Yes they are very sanitary

[@J26-r1v]

Thanks for sharing! I can only say that a menstruation cup made out of natural rubber or medical grade silicone are the way to go: only one thing to carry instead of many tampons, no soaked tampons to pack out. Wash with soap when done your period and rub some tea tree oil and/or lavender oil on it for total disinfection (also good for sun burn, blisters, zits, cuts etc).

[@carriebryant2365]

Please start using Leave No Trace principles while using the restroom on any trail.

[@GorgieClarissa]

Carrie Bryant did you not watch her video.... ?

[@E.I.C.C_Onwer]

GorgieClarissa well she mentioned not going far enough from the trail to pee soo

[@arielgiddens293]

Love your videos! I wish there were more of these Q & A, gear list and how to videos aimed towards women. Do you ever plan on hiking the AT?

[@AwayWithIngrid]

+Ariel Prats yep! :)

[@christineb.1]

Great video! Thank you for answering all those questions us other girls were wondering about. Also, love your cat...he's so handsome!

[@AwayWithIngrid]

Thank you!

[@surgpsych]

I just want to thank you for all of the information and videos that you and Wunderlust post. It's a shame that more, well spoken female backpackers like you all, don't post more gender type info. I have been trying to find information for my wife about gear and especially hiking garments (i.e. Base layers) We both enjoy watching the females point of view of backpacking and your brutal honesty of female hygiene on the trail! It makes mental and packing preparation that much easier for the rest of us! Thanks again and good luck with your up and coming move.

[@AwayWithIngrid]

Thank you! I hope it was helpful and if you have any specific questions regarding any gear, don't hesitate to ask. :)

[@nevadagrace3514]

Deeperstill yes we are!! so many of us had to work, raise children, many of us a single parents, and had no or at best little support to engage in thru hikes off for months on end when we were younger- mainly due to the culture back then.Inahve always made it a point to remain physically active and now at 65.5yrs young I and newly "Retired" from my full time career am educating myself and planning on Hiking the AZT and PCT. Looking for other people my age to do the same and having difficult time finding any!!!

[@TainoXtreme]

I forgot to mention in my earlier message that I liked your video and personality so much that I subscribed to your channel just now. God bless you.

[@lolwut6635]

Menstrual cups are your best friend.

[@fugeelahahaha]

Gross no thanks.

[@vedanjali8131]

11:40 your cat came out thinking what's goin on! 😅😅 Love your videos ❤️❤️

[@Starman261A]

burn toilet paper at night at a camp fire. Bury human waste way off-trail. Solo camping requires not taking stupid risks by cliffs or crossing streams.

[@sarahc5593]

Diva cups are actially safer than tampons just saying

[@stacyell7104]

Yeah but doing that with your hands unwashed.....not like soap clean? Yikes

[@whodatbitch]

@@stacyell7104 There are baby wipes, hand sanitizer, etc...

[@fugeelahahaha]

Gross and no bacteria city.

[@playviolin260]

yea thwy are great if you can wash them in clean water and put them in boiling water after your period but on a hike you dont even have a bathroom so you would probs end up using it dirty, handling it with dirzy hands and not cleaning it properly.

[@angelikahaeggman4822]

and environmental friendlier!!

[@KatJaguar1122]

Diva cups are made from SILICONE, not plastic. And they're only unsanitary if you don't wash it ?! Just rinse it with water in stream or wipe with biodegradable toilet paper and then rinse off with hydrogen peroxide. I replace hand sanitizer bottles with hydrogen peroxide; it's more multipurpose.

[@KatJaguar1122]

Jon Rogers Dude, read : hydrogen peroxide. Alcohol works also. If you don't know multiple ways to sanitize things in the wild then you're too stupid to be out there.

[@KatJaguar1122]

Jon Rogers And people BATHE in streams too. Birds sht in it, animals walk in it, I hope you are realistic. Most of the blood gets poured into the soil anyway. I'm lucky to find a stream that I can drink from using just a sawyer water filter or the like anyway; most water in this country is too chemically polluted to use mere bacterial and pathogenic precautions only.

[@KatJaguar1122]

Another thing to consider is to take note of how many women you know that have not had some kind of reproductive issue with their organs. It would be very few. Most of those issues are prevented or improved by NOT using dioxin laden products touching the very porous skin of the vulva and vagina. That's the biggest reason to not use that commercial crap.

[@GorgieClarissa]

Jon Rogers YOU DONT SANITIZE YOUR WATER!? ANIMALS SHIT IN THERE!!!

[@denisetippytoesmidkiff-hor9912]

At night I use a pee cup...a small peanut butter plastic jar. you won't have to get out of your tent at night.

[@adonna2000]

I thought about having a Gatorade bottle.

[@Aumness08]

Brilliant, thanks.

[@kre8iveingenuity228]

There used to be something called a PeeWee, peeing into a funnel of sorts, making it easy not to have to squat down. They have similar type funnels of sorts to make the process of peeing in the woods easy!! heck this link in order o get a better idea of what I'm talking abt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3KkYmCQpNRnaq8

[@teamstet7079]

Honestly this was one of my big question marks!

[@shuilynmua7036]

thanks ingrid.. im getting more and more excited to thru hike pct 2017 -a female :)

[@taniaM107]

Thanks again for another great video with a lot of good information and sharing your experiences!! I'm excited for you and your trip aboard! Can you please do a packing video for that as well. My plan have changed a bit and I"m going to push back my PCT hike for 2018 season, since I'll be taking a trip to Europe next summer. I've liked a lot of the information you've shared in your previous videos and have found them very helpful, so I'd be interested in hearing all about your travels aboard. Good luck and safe travels!

[@AwayWithIngrid]

I definitely wil do a packing video! I am moving to Europe so I'm maybe you'll get some good insight for you upcoming trip! :)

[@HappyHikers]

Subbed!!! I'm prepping for a Thru-hike and this is so helpful!!

[@carmenripley]

what did you see folks who wear contacts do? I love back packing but contacts and solutions are a space taker upper even in the smallest amounts. thanks

[@AwayWithIngrid]

+Carmen Ripley everyone I knew wore glasses instead of contacts.

[@karinevans754]

try daily's. :)

[@carmenripley]

I'll look into those thanks!!! are these daily throw-aways? I was going to look into something I could wear for months? poor eye balls need to breath tho. Maybe I should try to save my pennies for lasix.. Cause there's NO way I could ear glasses.. i've never been a glasses wearer.

[@karinevans754]

Carmen Ripley yes they are meant to wear only one day. there a little more expensive but worth it. i can only wear dailys because of cronic dry eyes but i wear them for 2 days. they are individually packed in saline solution. check out acuview moist.

[@kckathryn3531]

bit late to reply but I know you can get contacts that you can wear 30 days straight. they are more breathable or something so they don't dry your eyes out. They didn't work for me but worth a try.

[@alannahmcgillivray9095]

Next time pack a Kula Cloth to wipe. They are anti microbial so they won’t smell or grow bacteria. Also, Diva Cups and other cups are made of silicone and work great. Dig a hole to dump, give a little rinse, and reinsert.

[@hannahchoat7345]

thank you for this amazing video series! (I just binge watched all of them) I live in New Zealand and am planning on doing a thru-hike of the Te Araroa trail (the full length of NZS both islands) and have found all these videos so helpful despite the difference in terrains

[@AwayWithIngrid]

+Hannah Choat ah thank you! I've been looking into the TA trail in NZS! You'll have to let me know how it is. :)

[@MissNikkor]

I have a question: I will use cleaning wipes for # 2. I know it is not recommended to bury the wipes, I will have to dispose otherwise. Putting everything in a Ziploc bag. But when night comes, when I'm ready to sleep, what do I do? I leave the Ziploc away from my tent to pick it up the next day doing so until I can throw it in a trash bin? Is there a danger that an animal tries to open the Ziploc and then scatters all the contents around at night? I do not really want to pick up that kind of disgusting thing ...

[@AwayWithIngrid]

I never stored anything outside of my tent. The more exposed potent smelling rubbish is- the more likely animals like rodents will be there finding it.

[@daisyclarefaithking]

Hi Ingred, thank you for the video, really appreciated hearing your personal experience. Not so much a female specific question... but I wondered if you or any body else could help... I am planning on doing the PCT 2018, I am from England and I am on medication. I am not sure how I can get around without having to cary 5/6 months worth of medication with me from the beginning. Because I am not based in the US I understand that pre-sending boxes is extremely expensive, so was planning on restocking as I go, but can't do that with my specific type of medication. Do you have any suggestions?

[@AwayWithIngrid]

+Daisy King hello! I would suggest bringing your entire supply of medicine to the US, then send yourself packages further ahead along the trail to avoid having to carry your entire supply.

[@daisyclarefaithking]

Thank you that is really helpful. Could I just ask... will it be easy to arrange parcels to be sent along the trail before I leave, but once I have arrived in US. How much time will I need to arrive before my departure date to arrange things like this? Would you be able to suggest whether it is something I do in San Diego? Thank you so much for your help.

[@kevinstegall9033]

@@daisyclarefaithking Thank You I love

[@theposhpcter]

Thanks for the the video. Thinking of trekking the entire trail next summer. I know this is super gross weird question but did you have any permanent damage to your feet or toe nails from the whole trail ?

[@AwayWithIngrid]

I did not! I know some people's feet were looking FUNKY, but mine were fine! I think having "camp shoes" helped and also using orthotics.

[@Milquetoast702]

Thank you for a great video! You have eased my mind on hiking alone as a woman! And I love your cat !

[@AwayWithIngrid]

Aw thank you! I think he loves the camera

[@Nelsonmolinajr]

how do you control moisture for long hair or what do you wear?

[@sandrafuentes7348]

If using the cup is it ok to pour it out in a cathole? Or those is have to be brought out?

[@AlphakappaY]

Did you go through post through HIKE depression?

[@Latino_Burrito]

Do you think you could do a review of hiking socks?

[@SeanHendy]

Not helpful to know but, wetwipes, most actually contain plastic and apart from being anything but biodegradable, they are especially bad for the environment. Only discovered this recently and as a result haven't used any since. Exfoliating 'scrub' cleansers are another no no as the beads are plastic and guess where it all ends up...

[@misssagacious]

Look for scrubs that use jojoba beads instead of plastic!

[@ThatRogersFamily]

Thank you so much! Super excited to hike this someday.

[@DPalominoFan25]

Looking forward to your next series, great job on the PCT videos!

Thank you!

Should you take 1 or 2 cats?

[@ChinaTramLee]

Um...tampons aren't so sanitary either AND can cause TSS which is a fatal infection that works quickly! Seriously, like 2 seconds on Google and you would know menstrual cups are one of the safest things out there. Plus they are silicon, not plastic.

[@cheyannesteelman5969]

Chantel Hunt menstrual cups still have the risk of causing TSS. maybe not as high as a tampon, but the risk is still there. although TSS is very rare and probably won't happen to anyone you know.

[@hitchinaride94]

Silicone is still synthetic. TSS can still be caused by bacteria on menstrual cups.

[@TheKosherNinja]

buff for a pillowcase! What a great idea!

[@norkisserrano]

I heard about Diva cup, my wife wants to know how convenient it is?

[@AwayWithIngrid]

+Norkis Serrano haven't used it so I can't really say. I'm sure there's such decent information on the internet about it though!

[@al.kenzie]

switched 5 years ago and love it. I switch because I wanted to stop creating so much garbage, but I found it was more comfortable, more convenient, and reduced some of my symptoms. I can empty it morning and night in the shower and forget I even have my period.

[@truneilson]

Switched 3 years ago, would never go back.

[@SinMore]

I used one when I still had my period. She needs to practice using it and try different types. Diva cup was too firm and big. Luna cup was softer. They do work well once you get it wired.

[@foxforpeace7351]

[@mcspin50]

Lots of great info, Ingrid. Thanks for taking the time to share. I managed to do my first overnight backpack on the Superior Hiking Trail last weekend. Boy, do I have a lot to learn! It was hard, but it was fun! Don't think the Pacific Crest Trail is in my future, but maybe a part of the JMT. By the way, Tall Ships are in Duluth August 18-21. ;)

When I thruhiked the AT this year I used pads, which I would NOT recommend. The chafing was horrible. But I only got my period for the first two months, the rest of the time my body was so spent I didn't get it again for five months.

[@lindas144hobbies]

Thx for sharing some of the girly stuff! Useful information for any hiking female

[@benperry2798]

Hi love the video lessening in because I'm trying to introduce a friend to hiking and finding that ladies have a different set of challenges. My friend is having problems with her pack straps bruising her chest. Not to over share but her “side boob” area (sorry couldn't think of a better way to put that). Is this normal?

[@bcobaindoll]

Ben perry sounds like her pack doesn't fit properly, she should try getting another one fitted in a shop

[@al.kenzie]

Ben perry this is somewhat normal. I have a pretty flat chest and still, I find it alloying. I'm able to tighten my chest strap on my pack and that helps, but if she had a larger chest it might not work.

[@ThomiBMcIntyre]

I had that problem until I got a pack with a much shorter torso length. Also s-shaped straps help a lot

[@dirtribbonaddiction]

Another great video! Helpful info even if you're just planning a few nights on the trail. I have to say I can't see how anyone would want to use those "cups" out on the trail. It seems like they would be really hard to keep clean plus the mess on the hands from dealing with it. Ew! (not bashing anyone who does use them) I am prone to uti's so the cleaner, the better, as far as I can see. Tampons would be the lesser of the two evils and forget pads! Like you said, just a big bulky diaper to rub and stink. Thanks for covering these topics.

[@AwayWithIngrid]

+Kate Long haha yes, I'm with you! Thanks for watching

[@vvanitycase]

Kate Long I can see why people would be Leary of using something they aren't familiar with, but can't understand why people think they are unclean. They are more sanitary that pads or tampons and don't cause any more mess on the hands than a tampon would. Just something to think about :)

[@AwayWithIngrid]

+Lauren Romeo there was a fire ban for the majority of the hike...

[@karinevans754]

If it's bio degradable TP couldn't you just bury it?

[@FiraFlame]

No, because animals dig it up.

[@Virpukka]

There was just a long discussion about this in one of the pct discussion forums where I'm. The thing is that big portion of PCT is desert or rocky terrain where it takes ages for anything to decompose. So it can take years from TP to get back to dirt in there. One person told how her friend had hiked the PCT year before and on next year they took section hike and passed a place where she had pooped and hided it under the rocks. Everything looked like it was done yesterday still year later, including the TP. That combined with the fact that people are lazy with digging proper cat holes and how much there is now hikers and quite a lot of them newbies with hiking, it just means trouble with these issues. Specially with wild live digging things up. There was a lot of talk last year from it how common it was that the TP was decorating the trail. I'm sure it wasn't very enjoyable sight. That is why they recommendate now that you pack your TP out too. If I remember right it is actually mandatory thing to do on this year on PCT.

[@madalynclark7417]

I used a diva cup the 1st month of my AT thru hike. It was unsanitary, messy & a big hassle. I know you didn't recommend it and I will back you. I hated it. Tampons were still the best in my opinion.

[@KatJaguar1122]

Madalyn Clark It's only unsanitary if you don't wash it ?! Just rinse it or wipe with biodegradable toilet paper and then rinse off with hydrogen peroxide.

[@EmilieGenevieve]

KatJaguar1122 or just alcohol whipped

[@bcobaindoll]

KatJaguar1122 wiping it with biodegradable toilet paper won't clean it well enough and you can't pour hydrogen peroxide into the environment and fuck carrying it around as well

[@KatJaguar1122]

bcobaindoll Of course wiping it with toilet paper is not enough. You only need a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. I empty hand sanitizer bottles and put it in there, that's how I carry it and it's more multipurpose than the hand sanitizer. Rinse with small amount of water, and then use the hydrogen peroxide OR alcohol. You only need to carry enough to do this twice per day for maybe 4 days. Sure it's not "convenient", but menstruated is not convenient. To each their own, but the cups rock in my world. One can also use liquid natural tea tree oil concentrated soap for washing when you have enough water to rinse with, which is the soap I carry or something similar.

[@hitchinaride94]

Both hydrogen peroxide and tea tree oil will do detrimental damage to your lady parts if residue of those remains on the cup, pleaase don't do that!

[@suemcfarlane4199]

Depo injections often stop you from ovulating completely so no periods the implant is the same

[@lnayra91]

That usually happens after about 6 months to a year of being on depo, different for every women. Plus, you need to have the shot given by a provider every 3 months.

[@karentjuhh101]

evilherbivore exactly, for a 5 month internship I was requierd to be on a small boat with up to 10 people and no toilet facilities for full workdays so I just kept taking birthcontrol.

[@abitofthisabitofthatwithda5379]

hate to be the Debby downer! but ! COUGARS, COYOTES and BEARS! they are on the PCT. the potential is there for them to pay a visit. odds are low but the potential is still there. so one may want to think of getting some scentless bags for the monthly fem time products. if for what ever reason you want bring disposable vamp bags, bury them like a 100 yard off trail! go with scent less bags, there safer! for a quick clean- No Rinse made by CleanLife Products the shampoo(at the roots/scalp) and body wash(pits and privets) the small 2oz bottles last a while. they make wipes as well. there a bit batter then regular baby wipes(i think).

[@crowman5936]

You can't hide scent from a bear their noses are incredibly sensitive so the so called scentless bags aren't. As for cougars and coyote encounters that are attacks you have a better chance to be hit with a meter from space.

she did not have her period for 4 months? that does not sound very natural/healthy. But anyway thumbs up for doing the hike. Way to go

[@mckenzieshawcroft1470]

She was on birth control (I assume) so she didn't get her period that entire time. It's not unhealthy, and you don't actually have to get your period at all if you don't want to if you take the pill. No issues whatsoever. Your body only bleeds due to withdrawal of the pill anyway

[@jana7423]

Vercippu There are A LOT of issues that come with not getting your period due to high dosages of hormones when taking birth control pills. Just ask your OB/GYN

[@daniellejackson9254]

Vercippu its natural. Its okay. Some women, myself included, skip months at a time sometimes. Usually due to exercise or stress.
