It really is that simple 🫶 If only myself from 5 years ago could see where I’m at now. She would be thrilled 🥹 #adventurenthusiasts #enjoytfouttalife #hikergirl #pnwadventures #type2fun

1000/10 Waterfalls in Washington

One of my favorite campgrounds in Washington for paddle boarding and mountain views. 😍 The lake sits on the northwest side of Mount Adams in the Midway High Lakes area, making it an incredible basecamp for a weekend adventure. Have you been here yet?? #washingtoncampgrounds #pnwcamping

I don’t organize because I’m Type A...I organize because I’m absolutely not. 😆 I’ve been using @gregorypacks Alpaca Gear Box because it’s basically indestructible, and I love the clear lid. I can see everything at a glance without digging through it. Everything needs a place because im kind o

Tis’ what she said.. backpacking edition 😏 @kelzeykay @oregonrivergear #thatswhatshesaid #hikergirl #funnyhikers

24 hours. Everything we needed on our backs. No cell service. Just miles of trail, wildflowers, mountain lakes, camp food, and views that made every step worth it. There’s something about backpacking that resets my brain. This trip took us through the heart of Goat Rocks Wilderness, and I don’t t

I just don’t think this wilderness area gets as much love as it rightly deserves.. If you love wildflowers, alpine views, and hikes that make you stop every five minutes just to stare... Lily Basin needs to be on your list. 🌼🏔️ I honestly don’t think I could’ve picked a better time to be here. T

Replying to @Schrebi Most people think getting back on a paddle board is all about upper body strength. Good news... it's not. The trick isn't strength—it's technique. Stop trying to pull all of your body weight UP onto your paddle board. Instead, think about sliding the board underneath you.

Replying to @peterjasper1 Turns out “just paddle” isn’t actually very good advice. 😂 There are 4 basic paddle strokes, and once you know them, paddle boarding gets way easier. Forward.
Reverse.
Sweep.
Draw. That’s it. Go practice. And if you accidentally paddle in circles... no judgment. We’ve

Replying to @Ann Bazil Paddle boarding is one of the safest ways to get on the water... but only if you know a few basics. The two statistics that stopped me in my tracks:

If you’ve ever fallen in trying to stand up on your SUP... this one’s for you. 😂 Standing up on a paddle board is way easier when you stop fighting with your board and let it help you. Also.. Your feet already know where they are. Look at the horizon instead. What’s been the hardest part of padd

2 tent tips that can make a big difference: 🧪 Harsh chemicals like bug spray strips waterproofing and can ruin the fabric of your tent ⛺️ Your tent will always fit easily back in the bag if you roll it properly (which makes packing up about 100% easier) Simple stuff, but it’s amazing how often

There are two kinds of paddle boarders: ✔️ The ones holding their paddle correctly. ❌ The ones arguing in the comments about which way is right. 😂 Turns out... you're both kind of right. The confusion comes from people mixing up the shaft with the blade. Once you know what to look for, it's act

I pretty much set up my camp kitchen the exact same way every single trip. One thing I've learned over the years is that every extra decision you have to make when you get to camp steals time from actually enjoying being there. Here's my system 👇 📦 My dry box (@gregorypacks) holds all of my kitc

Camping doesn’t have to be complicated. Instead of trying to remember hundreds of pieces of gear, I just organize everything into six simple systems. ⛑️ First aid 🏕️ Shelter 💦 Water 🔥 Fire 🥘 Food 😌 Comfort Instead of wondering if you’re forgetting something, just work through each c

Such a good reminder..

Fred and I had a brief disagreement about who should be using the trail, but eventually we worked things out and I made it to the lake. And I do not care how times I’ve hiked this trail. It still manages to blow me away every time. The color of the water. 💧 The views of Dragontail Peak. 🐉 Aa

I can confidently say this grilled cheese tasted 437% better on top of a mountain ⛰️ Now for the important question.. Protein bar or grilled cheese?? 🧀 #hikingsnacks #hikingfood #creatorsearchinsights

The famous hikes are famous for a reason. They’re beautiful. But there is something really special about discovering a place you didn’t expect to love. The ones where you get to the top and suddenly find yourself standing on a mountain with nobody else around. Just you, and that urge to yell “I

Replying to @Kelsey Ack PART 2: The Results 🧊 After approximately 47,000 (on meta go figure 😅) comments explaining why this was the dumbest thing I’ve ever done... I took my DIY PVC ice packs on a real camping trip to see what would happen. The verdict? They worked better than some people expect
