Solo Backpacking in the Oregon Desert

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I have been wanting to get back into some backpacking adventures, I am concerned the van has made me too soft😅

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

😄 I feel ya there! Going to try and at least hike way more again this year! Gotta get back into 20 miles-per-day shape 🥾

Absolutely breathtaking scenery my friend, gorgeous adventure! Your shots here are beyond incredible! Bravo for thumbnail too!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Thank you so much!

Great video! I like seeing your backpacking setup, and you even schleped in a baby bottle of Boldt!!! That trail looked really cool too. I agree that it's better adventuring with your buddy. I didn't know Nicole was a writer 🤗

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Thank you! I figured I wouldn't notice the bottle with all the extra weight of 2 pads, gloves and extra jacket 😄 Nicole self-published a trilogy years back and recently found some more inspiration ❤️ 📙

[@campoutwestus]

@@OverlandAdventureTimes that's so cool!

Nice, light, and simple gear setup! Very cool. And the trail looks fantastic. That's a great video of your adventure.

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! It didn't take too many trips to pare down the gear once we started backpacking!

“Questioning my life decisions”. Haha. Props for doing a backpacking and a car camping adventure in the same trip. Not sure I could handle just sleeping under a tarp but glad you survived! Thanks for sharing!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

There's that moment in every trip! Thanks for watching!

Great video! Thanks for the suggestion on this area for beginners, I've been wanting to try backpacking for a while!

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

It's a pretty great spot, especially if you like rocks 😄

[@buscampers]

Very cool. I gotta walk off some of the holiday excesses also lol. Which mountain house meal did you have?

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Thanks! It was Creamy Mac & Cheese. 1st time I've had that one & pretty good. I'm usually a Chili Mac kinda guy, but trying to expand my horizons 😄

[@buscampers]

@@OverlandAdventureTimes I havent tried the chili mac yet (I have one) but the chicken and dumplings and stroganoff were both really good. I think the chicken and dumplings is my favorite so far though.

[@OverlandAdventureTimes]

Those are both good!
