The Courage to Go Solo + Hygiene + Overall Health | South Georgia Vlog

It's the time of year when I start seeing lots of people posting to social media about their upcoming hiking plans - whether it be questions about health and hygiene on trail, recommendations for good solo hikes, or just posts for general advice - I wanted to make a video talking about a few of these common topics! If someone had sat me down before my first long hike or backpacking trip, these are some things I wish we had talked about. Pooping, periods, and safety are just 3 of the things my mom and I will talk about today! My mom and I are in south Georgia for a work event, so I'm going to bring y'all along for a bit of exploring around the town and a hike at Crooked River. Let's get into it! 1:41 exploring downtown St. Mary's 3:34 hiking at Crooked River State Park + getting started 5:27 safety, loneliness, and self-doubt 10:42 hygiene + leave no trace 11:40 managing your period on trail 14:02 peeing and pooping in the woods 18:51 know your fitness level 20:53 nutrition and hydration 23:41 sleep and recovery Thanks so much for watching today's video, and if you have any additional advice, feel free to leave a comment down below 👇 — 🌎 Follow my adventures on Instagram: @adventure_outdoors /   / adventure_outdoors   — ✨ Send me some online trail magic: https://buymeacoffee.com/adventure_ou... — 🎶 Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io — All videos on this channel are delayed by approximately 2-3 weeks for safety purposes. #hikingadventures #thruhike #lash #appalachiantrail #stmarys #southgeorgia #georgia #crookedriver #statepark #hikingadvice #leavenotrace #hikingbeginner
