Why People End Up Hating Backpacking

Backpacking, backpacking, backpacking... it's amazing all the time, right?! Not always. In this video I share my thoughts on why I think people who are new to backpacking or even seasoned hikers end up hating backpacking. The hope is that what I talk about here helps you know how to better prepare for backpacking trips with the right gear and plans to make an awesome experience in the backcountry.
