Scared While Hiking? - How to Get Rid of Backpacking Fear

Do you get scared while you hike or go backpacking? Yeah, me too. Fear is a completely normal response to hiking in the dark, scary woods, but too much of it will ruin your trip. Follow along as I discuss my own experience with fear on the trail and what you can do about it.

Welcome to my random musings on all things backpacking. If you haven't already guessed, my name is Dan. I was bit by the backpacking bug in 2014 and since then haven't gone one day without thinking about my next adventure. I'm from Chicago, a great city but...not so much known for its bountiful backpacking opportunities. Nevertheless, I haven't let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hope my videos leave you with one or two takeaways, or even better, inspire you to head out on the trail. Thanks for watching! Have fun out there!
