10 Backpacking Mistakes I Made So You Don’t Have To

In this video, I break down 10 backpacking mistakes I made early on—the ones that cost me comfort, confidence, and a lot of unnecessary frustration. From packing too much to underestimating sleep, food, and pacing, these are the things I wish someone had explained before my first trips. If you’re new to backpacking or planning your next trip, this video is meant to help you avoid common beginner mistakes and start with more confidence. You don’t need perfect gear or years of experience—just the right expectations and a few hard-earned lessons from someone who’s already learned them the hard way.
