About 2 years ago, my buddy ‪@ChucoHiker‬ tagged me in a video about 5 Beginner Backpacking Tips. Well, it wasn't fast, but here is my response to his tag. These are my 5 Beginner Backpacking Tips.
Disagree with any of these tips or have any tips of your own for beginner backpackers? I'd love to hear from you down in the comments below!

Hahaha! Thanks for the shout out, and you’re one of the coolest guys I know. I’d never call you a jerk :) Great tips, I really like the one about not comparing oneself to thruhikers. I believe that kind of comparison can hold new backpackers back and keep them from jumping on trail. Thanks for the tips!

I just don't want to disappoint you! 😄

I saw his driver's license. It did say Chuco Hiker and you couldn't see his face in the photo because there was a camera in front of it. 😃 Good advice Cameron

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Has anyone ever heard a different name? Nope. Has to be his real name. You seeing the driver's license confirms it!

I would love more videos about backpacking with kids and how you manage that and what they carry.

It's the resurrection of "5 Beginner Tips"!! Woohoo! Great tips! My favorite was about not comparing yourself to RU-vid thru hikers. I completely agree that it's great to learn from their dialed in load out and see what you can do without, but there's no reason to feel like you have to hike 20 mile days. Great job on this video!

Hey, thanks for watching! Yes, continued on your tag ... albeit a couple years late ...

@DribbleFunk Год назад

Good advice, particularly the low mileage tip to start out. I've been inspired by Alastair Humphrey's 'micro adventure' mentality and have been having a blast on short, fun trips.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I'll check out his channel! Thanks.

When I began backpacking about seven years ago, I did A LOT of research before purchasing my gear. I tried to balance weight vs. cost. Didn't get the lightest gear, nor the cheaper and heavier. I've been pretty happy with everything, however I purchased a good, lightweight and pricy cook kit and have never used it on an overnight/multi-night hiking trip. I learned that for me it is more convenient to go stoveless.

@andrewsherman5899 Год назад

Good tips, Cameron. The one thing I would throw out there is I would suggest that people look at some of the gear that Costco has. They have great town jackets under $50. You can also get trecking polls, fairly cheap there. I still use my trecking polls that I got at Costco and they cost me less than $60 for two pairs. I think they’re aluminum now, but when I bought them, they were the carbon fiber.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

There definitely is certain gear that you don't have to spend crazy amounts of money on. Good tip on the Costco gear.

@ZacharyTeich-HikingTrainer Год назад

Hi Cameron, thanks for the tips. I wish I had a cool name like Chuco does. Also, those thru hikers are people that don't live in the real world. I doubt any of them have lost thousands of hours of sleep over the course of the last several years walking crying kids around the living room at two in the morning.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Haha! That's a great point!

Spot on advice! Question. Who’s this Chuco person?😉

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Very influential person out west. Pretty cool guy.

@nathanhollis9298 Год назад

Highly recommend the Goodwater loop around Lake Georgetown if you’re in and around central Texas . It’s rocky like every where else in Texas but not a lot of elevation gain/loss and plenty of access to water. You also feel like you’re out in the middle of nowhere but there are house just feet away from the trail in some places and there are plenty of campgrounds. Great spot for beginners or to figure if you want to do backpacking as a hobby.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I 100% agree. I did it for the first time a few weeks ago. Houses are definitely close. And from the few people I talked to on the trail, they're getting closer. The noise is the only thing I didn't care for on trail. But the proximity to lots of trailheads provides a lot of peace of mind for any newer hikers. And the length of trail makes it good for pretty most levels of hikers.

Hey Cameron. I was trying to figure out how to msg you as I have some questions about GMNP that I know you could answer:-) Do you have a FB page that I can msg you through?... or IG? Thanks! (Another great video, btw!)

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I don't have any other social media. You can email me at cehall88@gmail.com I'd be happy to answer any questions.
