I have had so many requests to do a video about solo backpacking, and so in this video I left the crew behind and headed out on a solo overnight at Upper Lena Lake! To access this lonely lake deep in the wilderness of Washington State you must hike for seven grueling miles up a mostly steep, muddy and narrow trail. This was the hardest hiking I have EVER done, and I definitely struggled with the brutal climb to the lake as well loneliness when I got there. Watch the video to see if my first ever solo backpacking trip on this channel was a success, or if the intense hike and extreme isolation were too much to bear. • Intro: 00:00 • My solo backpacking trip begins: 0:41 • Switchbacks, boulders, bridges, berries and mushrooms: 1:58 • Arrival at Lower Lena Lake and filtering water: 4:50 • Why I love LMNT electrolytes (sponsor): 6:14 • The hike to Upper Lena Lake begins: 7:11 • Struggling on the hike to Upper Lena Lake: 8:54 • Arriving at Upper Lena Lake: 13:18 • Setting up camp: 14:09 • Making dinner, thoughts on being alone: 15:07 • Going to bed, feeling lonely: 16:58 • Morning at camp: 19:30 • Making breakfast: 20:10 • The gear I brought on this trip, packing up camp: 21:16 • My camera gear: 22:18 • Review of the Nemo Dragonfly OSMO 2p Tent: 23:49 • Thoughts on solo backpacking: 25:45 • Outro: 26:55 • Backpacking gear in this video - • REI Flash 55 Pack: https://bit.ly/48oXTgG • NEMO Dragonfly OSMO 2p Tent: https://bit.ly/458zxoO • Big Agnes mtnGLO Lights: • Soto WindMaster Stove: https://bit.ly/3PRDYQ0 • Snow Peak Titanium Trek 700 Cook Pot/Mug: https://bit.ly/40zzdO8 • Garmin InReach Mini: https://bit.ly/3t7AjF2 • Thinlight Foam Pad by Gossamer Gear: • NEMO Tensor Insulated Sleeping Pad: https://bit.ly/3m0bibF • BearVault Jaunt Canister: https://bit.ly/3RbR4ch • Sit Pads by Garage Grown Gear: https://bit.ly/3LlQ8hx • CNOC Vecto Water Container (2L): https://bit.ly/3LgVgDv • CNOC Vesica Collapsible Water Bottle (1L): https://bit.ly/44GRABT • Sawyer Cleaning Coupling Adapter: https://amzn.to/3PyN8kg • Altra Timp 4 Trail Runners: https://bit.ly/3JYQfy4 • Ultra Gam Ankle Gaiters: https://bit.ly/3Rbu7px • Silver Shadow Umbrella by Six Moon Designs: https://bit.ly/44I3Ulr • Pack Liner by Six Moon Designs: • Torrid APEX Jacket by Enlightened Equipment (Women’s): https://bit.ly/3sKwRjs • Torrid APEX Jacket (Men’s): • Dyneema Trail Pouches by Hartford Gear Co: https://bit.ly/3Z8A0Wp • Ultralight Trowel by BoglerCo: https://bit.ly/3PuYAxy • P-CAP by Parapack: https://bit.ly/3Evzx7h • Revelation Quilt (850fp) by Enlightened Equipment: https://bit.ly/463MErR • Torrid Hood by Enlightened Equipment: https://bit.ly/3Pw41Mx • Goodr Sunglasses: https://bit.ly/3pPnxJx • Outdoor Voices RekTrek Zip-Off Pants: https://bit.ly/3P5Eys9 • Shop ALL My Favorite Backpacking and Hiking Gear: https://www.mirandagoesoutside.com/bl... • Camera gear in this video - • Sony ZV-E1 Vlogging Camera: https://amzn.to/46in9TK • GoPro: https://amzn.to/3rtRJv1 • Joby GorillaPod Tripod: https://amzn.to/3ZyjqPR • Shoulder Strap Camera Clip by Peak Designs: https://amzn.to/464rj27 • Nocs Woven Camera Strap: https://bit.ly/3ZqXJkV • Anker Portable Charger: https://amzn.to/3t6wxMa • DJI Lav Mics: https://amzn.to/48uHHdG • The above links are affiliate links, which means that if you choose to purchase something from these links I may earn a small commission.
