My FIRST solo backpacking trip // Joffre Lakes, BC (first time camping alone in the backcountry)

This was my first time camping ALONE in the backcountry! Join me for my very first solo backpacking trip in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, British Columbia - CANADA. I've always wanted to go on a solo backpacking trip, but up until this day I was too scared to go alone. I mean....there are BEARS out there! I finally worked up the courage to set out on this life changing experience. Now I'm ADDICTED to solo backpacking, and solo travel in general. This video starts off at the trailhead for Joffre Lakes Trail and continues on with views of all three lakes before making it to third lake to set up camp. As for the rest...you'll have to watch to find out! Lets go for a hike... If you like my videos, please give me a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel.
