lol, Haley. I found your channel last week (@ August 14, 2024) as I'm preparing for a short overnight backpacking trip and was having a bit of difficulty getting everything to fit "comfortably" in my pack. I've done quite a bit of hiking, and quite a bit of camping, but have never really combined the two. I must say that I find your videos very informative and highly entertaining. I'm from Pennsylvania, USA and the Appalachian Trail is within a 15 minute drive. My wife and I also have friends from Kiama NSW Australia that we met on a European vacation in 2018. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences in a very entertaining format, I am going to subscribe to your channel!
This was a very entertaining and informative video! Must have taken a lot of work but much fun. I look forward to seeing that perfect Instagram shot in the feed 😁
Thank you! I had 5 hard drives connected while editing in order to find footage from previous hikes and projects. 😂 Just trying to find the right filter for that Instagram shot :P
Thank goodness I came across this video. I wrote everything down in great detail to follow all the advice to the letter. I already have my absolutely new trekking shoes to wear on a 15-day hike. Thanks for the laughs
That was so much better than the ordinary video made by the ordinary backpacking content creator. Kudos! If there's a sequel, perhaps you could do a segment on the magical interactive experience of hand-feeding a black bear. It should be on everybody's bucket list.
I don’t even know what to say Hayley, this video was hilarious and film making skills are on point! I don’t know what you call her, but I call her Bailey and hope she’s still alive to be a guest in the future 😊
@@settohike as a Kiwi tramper I absolutely LOVE this clever little movie! 😅😂 You are a gifted entertainer and film maker, and I always enjoy your work! 😍 🌿 🙆🏻♀️ My tramping buddy and I are looking at doing Abel Tasman, Heaphy and Old Ghost Rd back to back, then after that, Te Araroa. 😁
8:10 I want a t-shirt that says that 🤣🤣 This is literally one the best how-to (or how NOT to) vid out there. You've beat the system Hayley, you've defeated entitlement with sarcasm.
Loved this very informative video, and I think I'll go and share it in a Facebook hiking group as I'm sure I will get lots of positive comments 😊 lol You have done it again Hayley, you always make me laugh.
So great Hayley. Not only an accomplished videographer, narrator and editor, now a fabulous scriptwriter! Where does your talent end? What a brilliant parody this is with powerful messaging on being intentional in all we do in the outdoors. Sadly, I have seen videos that actually document some of the things you cover, but behave on as if no mistakes were made or the life-threatening position in which they placed themselves was unavoidable. People doing this for the first time may not have the critical ability to detect the danger of this ad hoc approach and then place themselves in danger. You have tackled this problem extremely skillfully and, as ever, with an entertaining light touch. Full marks 😀
Thank you Mike I always look forward to reading your comments 😄 These past few weeks i've begun to write for 1 hour every morning, some days go well and other days I write a total of two words but I think i've found my new routine! Aiming to have a bit more fun with serious topics going forward :)
Wow. Two Hayleys! My kind of vid - with my kind of attitude. Go us! Great vid , I really enjoyed the wit, sarcasm and your type of humour. Thank You. G
Haha maybe 2nd Hayley will have to keep making an appearance from time to time. Thank you thats very encouraging to keep adding some fun when making these videos 😄
This was a very amusing and informative video. My ‘positive outlook’ has got me through a few hikes that I struggled with. Hate to say that I learnt some of the points in your video the hard way, but I learnt from every experience, as everyone should
Thank you! Haha the same goes for me with that positive outlook. It's definitely a cool feeling to come away from a hike having learnt something for your next hike. :)
Gold! I'm sure we're all guilty of a few of those pointers...... Spent the second time through mentally playing name the track and there was a lot of footage there that I didn't recognise from prior videos. Gives me confidence that there will be more Set to Hike drops in the future. 😀
Hi Hayley.... i have watched lots of your very informative videos. I remember you shared your discount code in Ultralight Hiker and I was searching for it. Where was that video again please? haha
It used to be HAYLEYSETTOHIKE but I realised the other day that since they have changed owners I think they removed my discount code. Sad times!! Try it but I have a feeling it doesnt work anymore. ultralighthiker.com.au/HAYLEYSETTOHIKE I think I still get commission if you go through my link but I have some work to do for discount codes! haha
I'm a hiking novice. Your video is very informative, will take the tips to heart, except with the music-box. I booked an episode at Kyle-hates-hiking in advance. ;)
Done many of them... some multiple times. Same if some one says they did that hike before and don't want to do it again like it is some once only list... doing it at night changes it up.
Fantastic, I can't wait to show all the naysayers who try to damp my spirits when I go hiking. I can't seem to find the final version of the video though...
Excellent - a well thought out piece of creative work with an informative message (in fact 10 plus the Final Chapter). I learned the hard way on Chapter 10 - I know it was the water because I don't like cheese.😎😎
My condolences for your water experience haha. Luckily I've never had any water problems, except for when I was drinking mosquito larvae, did no harm but the sight of wriggly worms are forever burnt into my brain 😛
I took your advice and started pooping in my water source. I can do two things at once, it's such a game changer. Old mate passing by mentioned someone to me, I just told him to Hike your own Hike. What a clown...
Have the same statements read out by a man and add the “Andrew Tate alpha man” phonk - would be hilarious 😭 Also, it’s me, I’m Dave. I didn’t filter a drop of water for the last 2/3rds of my TA 💀 trust me. 😂
bahah I made that image with AI, I kept staring at it every time I passed it in the edit and decided to not fix it. That guy has been missing so long that his mate has grown a finger. 😂
This is a really refreshing video. There are a lot of hiking channels... but this one stood out to me. Feel free to pop over to mine and help me get better. LOL!
