[@shawneeb3771]

I never realized how much preparing it takes to take a hike like your doing. I have found it all really interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@lorib360]

So much fun - thanks for sharing! One trick I used while backpacking: I attached a string to my toilet bag, so I could hang it around my neck when using the 'facilities'. It kept it dry (if the ground or foliage was wet) and handy! Happy hiking!

[@kellyu765]

WOW!!!! That is a lot of food.... but so healthy!!! Looks like you packed just right.... this is SO interesting to see you put this all together! I’m so glad you didn’t skip this part and we got to see you putting it all together. I hope you do the same by letting us see you pack your clothes/gear etc.... it’s like we are truly getting to go with you!!! I’m getting SO excited 😆!! Can’t wait to see what you pack next? 💜🌸

[@natewrites7803]

Carolyn, I'm impressed by your food organizing for this journey. You could be a trail outfitter for older women timid of the outdoors and make good money.

[@auntyv]

Oh, my goodness, the deer! They are thinking "This is the best day EVER!" LOL. Thats some great pre-hike karma, Carolyn. Love the prep details.

[@lynnd7432]

Hi Carolyn, Safe travels on the hike. I'm sure many of your readers will be praying for you while on the hike. Looking forward to seeing the videos and hearing from you. Again, Safe travels.

[@kellydoyle]

Super cool. I’ve always wanted to do this. Enjoying watching your journey.

[@chillytoes337]

The time is fast approaching! How exciting for us all, especially you Carolyn! It's good that you have done this before for your last hike, makes it easier to plan I bet. This is interesting watching you get ready, planning, etc. I'm guessing that it will really be fun to watch your hike! Thanks for sharing with us all!

[@pamflowers8364]

Wow! Really impressed with all your preparations. That's why you are a success, because you work hard at doing everything right.

[@maribethspence6740]

This was a very interesting video! Wow it looked like a lot of work getting ready. I'm excited for you in this new adventure 😊

[@travelinmyblood]

I can't help but notice how healthy you look. Lots of planning, very impressive organization.

[@cindyhatch5062]

Better to have to much & help other hikers out than to not have enough! So excited for you Carolyn! Happy Trails🚶🏞

[@CarnivoreStork]

Thank you for showing us your food preparation processes. Very interesting and exciting at the same time!

[@Deemac1236]

So so interesting, I’ve always wondered about the food taken by long distance hikers!

[@sylviadingwall5826]

I’m so excited for you Carolyn and admire you for taking this long trek on foot! I’ll be cheering you on and look forward to seeing your videos along the way!

[@evangeline11111]

Thank you Carolyn. You are going to be so prepared for your trip. Good Luck, your an amazing human being.

[@kathyadam9932]

CAROLYN. I had no idea all that went into a hike like this. Thank you for sharing this amazing information. I really enjoyed seeing all of this. Wow! I'm so looking forward to this hike. Loved the deer. So sweet. Beautiful location. Hugs

[@nvsilverlady]

so stoked for your journey. can't wait to watch the videos as journey unfolds. so proud of your overcoming your struggles. this will be an inspirational valued story for anyone who has similar stories. Happy trails.

[@BeckTrekkin]

Carolyn!!! Oh my goodness! This is really impressive! Well done and thank you for sharing. I've packed for 6-10 day trips and that was difficult in itself. Just blown away with your planning and efficiency! Cannot wait to watch this trip. Much love and blessings on you!

[@willothwisplx2516]

Praying every day keep you safe. God Bless Carolyn. Happy Trails. 🥾🧦☀️⛰🏃🏻‍♂️

[@cherilcooper289]

Hey Carolyn can't wait to go on this adventure with you!😂😁😀

[@witchisyours4592]

I'm so excited for you and can't wait to go along with you watching the videos. Capone will be walking along with you 🐕🐕🐕💖💖💖

[@faithrada]

This is Intense... 😆 I'm so excited.. thanks for sharing the process with us.

[@unclemo5536]

WOW, the spices will keep it all tasty 👍 Glad you took the time to prep for your hike. It will make the adventure more enjoyable :) Safe & happy trails.

[@genesnyder2985]

I’ve watched a lot of thru hikers and their preps and this is the first time all the trail meals are being done before leaving and the mountain if food is unbelievable

[@MSKCCooke]

Wow, the first few days after a resupply look brutally heavy! Lol. Good thing you know what to expect. I am so impressed!

[@willowgreen5350]

So excited for you...this was something i had wanted to do. Looking forward to watching this unfold.

[@julieanne220]

Congratulations Caroline!!!! Light and love for an amazing journey. Looking forward to following the experience! 🎉🍀💗

[@lindaboyd6067]

Carolyn thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures and can’t wait to see what you do next, be safe traveling, love ya 🥰🇨🇦❤️

[@willothwisplx2516]

Oh wow its almost here. I am so excited to follow along with you on this wonderful adventure. I am very ill, could never attempt this myself. Thank you so much for letting myself and others come along with you. 🌲🌷

[@kiera_kayaks7521]

I absolutely enjoyed this, thank you! I am unbelievably excited for you!

[@caroldodson8258]

You're going to eat very well on the trail. These are some great videos for people to watch who are considering a long hike. Thanks!

[@anitahamlin2411]

I love the harmony house products! So glad to find vegan options for dehydrated and freeze dried food! I hope you are prepared to really cook the beans especially the peas. I find peas take a really long time to cook! The deer keeping you company while doing this was really nice! Go girl!

[@darlenefrederick8444]

I'm curious what your total food cost is for this particular hike (I'm not a hiker). It's exciting and I look forward to updates during or after your hike!

[@lilymae859]

This is amazing and has answered so many questions! Looking forward to watching your future videos! So inspiring ❤️😊❤️

[@rimonagale1625]

WOW! Quite the video! Very interesting even for the armchair backpacker.

[@kitaoden703]

Love It Nice Planning Have so much fun Sweet The deer had a nice treat

[@jerib8654]

Amazing!! I’ve never considered what it would take to get ready.

[@jessegreywolf]

Great video, love the deer in the background!

[@Cherry210]

Hi Carolyn 😍... I was wondering what to watch while I ate dinner. I've been cutting sugar and carbs...I went from 355 lbs - 321 lbs in 2 months. I always need new ideas. Been buying Almond milk instead of regular milk now for 2 months. I'm taking baby steps but it's safer. No diet... Life style change. At 43 I'm not losing the weight as fast as I used to. Stay blessed 😇

[@unclemo5536]

Congrats on your current weight loss 👍

[@Redeemed7777]

I want to wish you the best on your journey.. I started at 330 and have lost a hundred and ten cutting back on carbohydrates.. it sure keeps your appetite at Bay!

[@TheBioExplorer]

Congratulations! I lost 55lbs in a year by cutting sugars & processed carbs. I get all my carbs from leafy greens, salad veggies, & berries... no or very limited starchy veggies or fruits (potatoes, apples. bananas, etc.). I want to lose a little more still but I feel much better every day. Keep it up! 💖👏

[@joyceforney8109]

Hi...your doing the BEST way to gradually lose weight, making a lifestyle change!! if you look up the diabetic meals, it is pretty much what your doing blessings for you to keep going

[@MsTigerseye77]

Congratulations on your success! Keep up the great work!

[@MsTigerseye77]

HI Carolyn! This is so exciting! I am really happy for you. I wish I could go! Perhaps someday I can be as bold as you. I have never carried more than a days food in an something about the size of an REI Flash 52. Can you show us how to pack the food for 11 days? I wish you the best on your trip. May you be safe, healthy and have an amazing time!

[@pearlburl]

THANK YOU for this! I follow another KZbinr who hikes the big trails all the time, and she talks about her packing up for re-supply, but I've never seen it done. Really puts in into perspective.

[@deborahlewis6229]

They make toilet paper for hikers all have to do is wet them and they expand

[@GabrielleFreedom]

I bet those hard-earned zeroes are feeling soooo good after those long trail days! ❤️✌🏼Hope it’s all going well.

[@jelibeanncoffee2577]

Girl!! You should do a recipe book on the foods you make, especially this meal kit for hiking!! I would love to cook and try your meals!! I'd buy that book for sure. I cant really eat meat, not by choice, I get 2 bites in to a piece of meat and I really get nauseous and want to hurl. Looking for ideas and heres my favorite RV Chica cooking and meal prepping! Love ya Carol 🌻🤗

[@valerieniebling4670]

Great video on your food prep and planning. Wishing you all the best on your exciting adventure!

[@superdayday3462]

I find this educational and interesting, I am using your vid to set up some food sources for my future camping trips to eat healthy and light, but eat right, thanks great video What you do not use, can be used later upon your return, for your travels, the food looks good.

[@mindyhayden2994]

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed watching you prepare for your trip.

[@ctap7767]

MANY Blessings Carolyn! Safe & Happy Trails!💜😎

[@marysellers3923]

Wonderful excited for you.!!God bless you!!❤🙏

[@marciakipp1137]

I can hardly wait to hike with you Carolyn!

[@HellsFireChick]

Aww woman, this video brings me back to two years ago when I was preparing for my long distance trek. SO MUCH WORK. But worth the effort when you are out there on the trail. Please make certain to bring your PLB (Spot) and personal protection from two/four legged predators. I've been binge watching Missing 411 lately and want you to remain safe. My excitement is bubbling over for you! I feel like a fizzy soda. Many blessings from this mountain dwelling hermit in Oregon!

[@rosemarykalogerakos3984]

hey did anyone notice the deer in the back ground>>>>>?

[@sylviadingwall5826]

Yes 😯 are you referring to feeding of wildlife? I would think that Carolyn knows not to do that, especially while on the PCT. I hope I’m not offending anyone but...I worked 4 summers in the National Parks and learned about how destructive it is to feed all wildlife.

[@rosemarykalogerakos3984]

No not talking about feeding them... just noticed the deer walking around in the back ground .......did you not read the post?

[@sylviadingwall5826]

Yes, I read your post!

[@rosemarykalogerakos3984]

@@sylviadingwall5826 ok great

[@MrsSmith-vf2vw]

How exciting Carolyn, spices are loaded with antioxidant, thanks for sharing, great video!

[@marciannaprice1882]

I started planning to hike AT back in 2004 for a 2006 hike. Dehydrated lots of foods, bagged for meals. Spices were very important! Lots of planning! Then an injury prevented me from going.

[@Hucfinn-zz8dl]

Really excited to keep track of your adventures !!!

[@janeeley1604]

I am so inspired by all thru and section hikers! Carolyn, you inspire! Imagine though, just imagine, how it was for those who went before? No resupplies . Just living off the land! ..... It is true for my country, Australia, as it was for America. That is why your journeys are important today.

[@Keturah53]

oh wow, you look so different with your hair up! I really like it. I love your meal planning...you have done well 👍

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

yay! I'm getting excited for you! just wish I was actually doing the hike too

[@BaldwinBay]

Incredible food management! Amazing. Your making me hungry.

[@sancar512]

Awesome! Looking forward to tag along. Namaste 🙏🏼 my friend

[@m.v.1230]

love that you help other people plan by example. Totally appreciate all the videos that you share. God bless and keep living your life the way you want to life it.

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Exciting. Can't wait to see your video's on the trail

[@maryzaletel4928]

I am so excited for you! This is going to be awesome! Can't wait!

[@dixxebell]

Looks like a really good supply of good food. ?Adding extra meals for those days when the unexpected happens and the schedule is blown? I know you have already thought of this. :o) I hope you have a wonderful experience and can't wait for your trail posts!

[@Starrmiller]

OMG!! Your awesome Carolyn!! Looking forward to the pct vid's.

[@lostinauthenticmexico]

Oh my gosh..so excited for you! Go, go ,go :) Have fun.

[@anivegimimi]

Daunting task! Wow. Looking forward to hearing all about the hike! You Go Carolyn!

[@lindahopson5003]

Awesome video... it helped me make decisions for a coming camping trip. Thanks for sharing

[@Randylj1]

These are wonderful and nutritious and would also be good to store for emergency use perhaps?

[@marleneburrows6725]

Wow! what a haul. Putting it together is amazing and I hope you have a nice trip. Love ya.

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

I thought at first how are you going to carry all that , glad you said it can be posted out phew , glad you have a good friend to do that

[@barbarabowman6895]

Hello, I’m new here. I just wanted to say how great this video is. Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that. I’ve only done limited hiking but wondered what it would be like to try something long like that. Thanks again & keep them coming! Hopefully I’ll be out on that road with you later this year~ summer or maybe fall. I’ve been looking for a rv or van. Thanks again! Enjoy your day!

[@Lezliecns]

Hello Carolyn! I admire your independence! I'm working on trying to hit the road soon, my son just graduated college, so it's time for me! Speaking of the boy...he was a boy scout, he is a great cook and uses a ton of spices! To reduce weight on on a backpacking trip for him once, I put spices in straws and sealed both ends with a lighter! I put them in a bandaid box (metal) with a small pair of scissors to pop them open. I'm excited to watch your journey!!

[@kirsten3446]

Great ideas for hiker food prep👍 Really excited to watch your journey on the PCT... hoping to do it next year😊 Take care & enjoy all the beautiful moments!

[@debbiepitcher9806]

Good luck Carolyn, looking forward to seeing how your are doing on the trail.

[@mcwalker949]

Wow! You'll need to carry lots of water with all that dehydrated food.

[@leoblumhagen644]

mcwalker949 she’ll have a filter and can use it to purify water from any source, no way you could carry a weeks worth of water at 8lb per gallon

[@cabbking]

I’ve been watching the weather these last few days, thinking of your struggle, all by yourself, on a trail far from anywhere, with pouring rain. Please let us know you’re OK.

[@sophialove7245]

Don't think she's started her hike yet (?)

[@esthersacilowski641]

Yes when I read on accu-weather, about the rain, I thought of Carolyn! Prayed she didn't start yet!

[@elizabethhall8254]

I know you don’t want to hear this but a big German Shepherd would keep you safe always. And less anxiety for all of us that have come to care for you. Safe travels

[@Plantsonpurpose]

Very good planning! I saw some soy curls on the table and wonder what you put them in. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@cintiapollock2486]

ooh so excited for you weee and us! lol so much good info in this one loved it!

[@gretchenburton7184]

I bought toilet paper in tiny little rounds; so compact. They are recommended by preppers. Portawipes/500 towlettes. Can measure the box and weigh it if you want.

[@bettybrigance6784]

Learned a lot on this video......Love all your adventures....take care...

[@jarrodharris5929]

Good luck and have a safe and wonderful trip

[@lolasaxby1399]

So excited for you!

[@Kris-ls4zj]

Enjoyed watching! I like to take instant coffee/powdered espresso camping...just add hot water.The caffeine is still in! Have an awesome hiking journey! With you in spirit Carolyn :)

[@nicholasgabel4797]

Happy travels ! Question? How do you handle your trash/recycling? Not everyone does rv parks and businesses can get cranky if you use their dumpsters that they have to pay to have emptied. Every town has their own trash /recycling rules. I'm an avid recycler so I'd like to know how others are handling this topic... Thanks for great videos..!

[@S.Lee13]

Okay you just explained and answered my question. This is so exciting yippee

[@bren1425]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!!!

[@movingforwardLDTH]

SOOOOOOOOO excited for you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marilynmcleod1196]

Am getting excited to follow along with you! I rode horseback on part of the PCT back in the late 60's! Was 6 days on horseback, and lots of planning even went into that little trip! We forgot mesquito repellent so make sure you take plenty! They can be brutal this time of year up in the mountains!

[@lynnee.garland2854]

Your awsome. I love your adventures. Safe trip. I'll be praying for you.

[@regenagroen4631]

I didn't really realize how much prep. there is on a trail hike, Wow that's alot lol!! I'm getting real excited for you, I know you've been wanting to do a long hike. I have been watching you for yrs. lol. I'm gonna wish you luck, BECAREFUL, MUCH LOVES/HUGS!! Can't wait to hike with you!!!

[@ctech24]

A really informative video! Have fun!

[@elainematthewsplonski540]

I am excited for your trip though!! Best wishes. Be safe.

[@creationsbylucretia2156]

thank you for sharing how you pack for a longer hike and how to ship it to pick up later.

[@noraward4741]

Hi Carolyn! Will you be writing a blog on this hike like you did on the JMT, or just the KZbin? Good Luck!!

[@suepeterson5675]

Hi Caroline ! Thanks for sharing how your packing. In the start I was thinking , " how is she going to carry all that stuff, real funny aye" now I know. Did you remember the MOLE SKIN ? Be Safe, Take care!!!!! 💖👍😊

[@jpalmer9525]

You are really prepared for your trip. We can't wait to see the video's. This is something I'd love to do.

[@freetob1]

Wow!!! Looks like you got it all ready to go. You are so smart, even considering the boots after 500 miles. I am looking forward to the videos coming up. Please be careful and watch out for the Bigfeet out there. LOL no SERIOUSLY but the Squatchers are probably more scary. Blessings and love to you Carolyn. Im sure you will post another video or so before you hit the Crest. More get up and courage than I have

[@jennifergrody]

Wow!! That’s a lot of work. You don’t think about it when you just live a normal day to day life. I’m so excited to follow you on this hike..
