During lockdown & all that went with it, I started watching female YT hiking channels. I hoped, as a person with autoimmune disease, if I survived I would be able to go hiking again. Your channel taught me so much about life. Not just hiking. Your enthusiasm, honesty & skills helped me know I could overcome. Thank you so much for sharing your journey & setting personal boundaries. I lost my spouse, family members & my dogs over 5 yrs but in August 2024 I’m heading out for a month backpacking. I CAN do it! Take Care
