My First Solo Backpacking Trip

Setting out on my first backpacking trip alone in the Queen Elizabeth Wildlands.

[@Sparker408]

Backing packing alone can be one of the most humbling and exhilarating experiences. A true testament to ones abilities physically and mentally. I've been backpacking alone for sometime now. People always ask me "Steve, What do you do out their by yourself?" My best response is "Whatever I want to"... Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing brother.

@@Sparker408 thanks for watching! You have your best thinking time alone with no distractions. A world of possibilities

[@Raquel-rj1gd]

This is *so* wonderful and I hope you don't stop. It feels like grounds for inner transformation, a development of peace, and a deepening of confidence in all areas. Thank you for taking the time to share it

[@hikewithmike4673]

beautiful place...just stunning!...I love solo camping and being alone in the woods..it is good for the body, mind, and spirit! All the great philosophers and religious leaders always went into the wilderness to find wisdom.....it is good medicine!

[@OutsideWithBen]

@@hikewithmike4673 for real! It’s where we were meant to be. Just feels right out there

[@Vivu-Hoangdã]

Why do I see you guys over there camping and love the nature over there? the beautiful scenery hasn't faded at all. 😮😮

[@Rkin43]

Thank you! Means a lot

[@marksoutside]

I love QEWII and go there very often, but the ticks are crazy during the summer! The best time is spring and fall for sure. There's a really nice campsite that is on a peninsula that you should check out when you get a chance. Great video, keep on camping!!

[@OutsideWithBen]

Thanks so much! Where’s the campsite I’d love to check it out

[@edzeppelin933]

Nice one man! Congrats. Keep it up!

[@OutsideWithBen]

Thank you!

50% pancake and 50% sticks and leaves...-haha,that's the spirit, enjoy yourself!

[@OutsideWithBen]

The sticks add flavour!! Hahaha

[@WollemiAdventures]

Awesome video Ben! Solo camping for me is an odd mixture of awesomeness and fear. Not sure if I don't enjoy the feeling being left alone with my thoughts or what hahaha.

[@OutsideWithBen]

Haha can be the scariest thing sometimes

I bring bacon and eggs ~ keeping those carbs consumption low..! I bought six plastic double egg camping containers.. I pack them into a wine cooler bag attached to the outside of my rucksack. Or use small nalgene bottles and pre break them for overnight camps.. The tree definitely does look like a monkey..! I love your calm quality and beautiful fiming.

[@OutsideWithBen]

Thank you so much! Breaking them before hand is an awesome idea!

[@chrissyayles7175]

@@OutsideWithBen eggxactly ~ an eggxcellent idea..! I got the idea from Simon A Bloke In The Woods here in England

[@TheAiFrogGuy]

[@AmputeeAdventureChannel]

I just got two of those Readywise meals. Haven't tried that brand yet.

[@OutsideWithBen]

All brands seem pretty similar to me. Haven't come across anything bad yet

[@cachetheline]

There's some pretty good camping ASMR in this one :) Makes me miss being under the stars, gotta get out again!

[@OutsideWithBen]

Absolutely! Nothing better than
