Storms and sickness in Switzerland! - Hiking the Hexatrek 9

[@LaurenRoerick]

Finally finished with stage one! I can’t wait to show y’all the alps!

[@tanioraaura1274]

Yes! Stage one completed. I like how you can reuse after fixing the holy tent that's awesome.

[@brandielewis6599]

Huge congrats Lauren, you should be super proud!! Can't wait to see stage 2 and the Alps, such magical & challenging hiking in the Alps!!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Aw thank you so much! The alps were incredible! I’m excited to show you :)

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

The bells made me want to punch a cow! LOL That hilltop with the satellite gear was cool. What a great place for a drone run. You should do a drone shot compilation video, with easy listening, local music in the background... "Birdseye View of the Hexatrek". Also, get a deadcat! You're welcome.

[@LaurenRoerick]

If I were a cow I’d be soooo annoyed 😑

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

@@LaurenRoerick There's a joke in there, but I'll leave it alone! LOL

[@robopecha]

@@LaurenRoerick yeah thats what i thought. i feel bad for them having to live with the constant noise.

[@lanajohnson7073]

Amazing! Such an accomplishment to finish Stage 1! Not surprised that you are super attached to that tent - you've been through a lot with it!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks!! And right? It’s my home 🏡 haha

[@maraeamills2082]

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you so much!

[@ivofriedburg294]

What‘s a hike without some food-poisoning 😂 Looking forward to your experiences in the Alps!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Haha it was a bad water source. I couldn’t even eat the burger 😭

[@moyashisoba]

Congrats on finishing stage 1! I'm looking forward to stage 2 because I hiked parts of it and I'm in love with that part of the alps or Europe in general.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! I can’t wait to show y’all! It’s soooo beautiful

[@chrishanson5542]

Great job editing as always. I always wondered how hard it was to stay healthy on the trail.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! I usually find it easy but got a bad water source 😓

[@StepsbyKaatje]

Sorry about the storm and tent! Getting sick isn't fun at all, glad you're ok. I liked Nyon and crossing the lac was great too. On to the Alps. First part is still GR5 mostly. Haha, first use of your headlamp.... Keep going! Kaat

[@LaurenRoerick]

Yeah getting sick sucks but I am glad I was at a campground and not wild camping when it happened!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

@@LaurenRoerick Yep, it would have been a lot worse. Is your tent still holding up now?

[@LaurenRoerick]

Still all good! Even after mannnnny bad storms!

[@Lambremuse]

Best parts were the giant puppy bell concerts! I would have spent so much time petting them and hugging them... The suspense for the Alps is killing meeeeeee. 👏🏻Give👏🏻us👏🏻the👏🏻next👏🏻episoooodes👏🏻 (Small thing in the description: It's Lac Léman, not Lehman) (It's Johann btw) (You're awesome 🩵)

[@LaurenRoerick]

The cows are so cute :) Annnnnd… The alps have arrived!

[@user-benjamin0958]

I think if I was a cow I jump over the cliff lol to much damn noise with all the cow bells, no peace and quiet lol

[@LaurenRoerick]

Right?! I did bought the same thing

[@robopecha]

yes its horrible, even at night if someone gets up..

[@mars_hikes967]

Switzerland should not be underestimated. Sorry that we couldn't provide you with a better experience. Food poisoning theoretically should not happen as there are real inspections involving labs done by the authorities and huge fines for kitchen staff who doesn't care about hygiene. Also in some tourist places it is no longer allowed to let cows grazing with their calves on trails. People got killed, we don't like to leave the impression that we put tourists in danger because of neglect. At least you saw our typical trail security measures, also called Toblerone. As soon as they were built, they were nearly abandoned as our general, Mr Guisan decided to relocate our armed forces into better fortified bunkers in the alps in 1940.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Yeah the best we can figure is that it was a bad water source. Three of us got sick but none of us ate the same food. I couldn’t even eat that burger 😭 as soon as she put it down in front of me I had to run to the bathroom 🥲

[@user-benjamin0958]

Lol, your tent is just very religious now ( holy ) lol

[@LaurenRoerick]
