Oooh, how exciting!!! The backpack looks great! Usually packs that size all have a waistband, wich can be nice, but I often don't find them comfortable. Hope you will have a great first week! Looking forward to hearing about all of your adventures! *Edited to add: Happy (belated) birthday!! Wishing you many more trips around the sun!

What an adventure! So true to your name and nature. Be safe.

Best of luck on this exciting new adventure!

Looking forward to seeing the series on the field, I hope you enjoy your new work!

Great backpack, a very cool adventure ahead, and much love & white light accompanying you from your many fans here. Cherish every moment, Alicia!

Currently rewatching the survey videos and I absolutely love it!!

Good luck in your new job! I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much!

Best of luck with your survey(s). Sounds like an interesting way to spend your summer weeks. Looking forward to hearing about it when you can share.

I really like your backpack! I have similar bag in green-orange color scheme. Congratulation Alicia on your new job, hope you had a good time!

Nice kit. Hope the job goes really well.

I got used to being away for 3 months at a time, Alicia, it gets easier the longer you do it! 😊

Never go anywhere without a Kula cloth! Very handy.

Have a good week and best of luck

Congratulations on the new job, be safe and enjoy.

This sold me, definitely ordering this bag

Have fun and be safe

Me: the type of tree - green. The height of the tree - tall. The temp - really hot. Type of environment- wilderness. Landmarks - trees and rocks.

My hiking packs have to have a hip belt. I have nerve tension that makes me unbearably sore otherwise. I'm gazing longingly at your arm muscles! Enjoy field surveying.

Best of luck to you 👍🏼

Good luck Alicia! BLESSINGS

That Uzumaki sticker is golden. 👌🏾

I serious love the shirt you have on. Where did you get it? P.s. I always love seeing what you pack and kinda explaining why.

Good luck.

A big hug from Brazil.

aw so cute

Have a wonderful time!!!! Stay safe! Prayers for safety and BIRDS! Look forward to hearing all about it when you return!

Wait ... no Kaweco Brass Sport Pen?? Be safe. Enjoy. Catch sight of lots of yellow billed cuckoo birds! Fill us in when you return. But, most of all, ENJOY!

I'd recommend carrying your emergency radio on your body, not your backpack (and maybe the same for your knife). You might have to lose the pack if you fall in a river, a bear rifles through it, or maybe you lose it somehow during a fall where you might not get back to where it is. Also, usually it's good to put things you might need more quickly (first aid kit, rain jacket) on the top in your pack, not somewhere down. But then, maybe this is more of an overview video. Anyway, have a good time!

I never thought I'd think of a backpack as drool-worthy, yet here we are 😅 And that knife - how beautiful, and moreso because of the personal connection! I hope it goes well and is a brilliant experience, and I really look forward to whatever you share on it!

weird-sounding cicada. Show us one sometime.

Perhaps the thermometer is picking up your body temperature (98 F) ?

May I please ask where your scissors and yellow bag are from for your stationary items?

How much does your pack weigh?

anyone knows if these kinds of jobs are available in Europe?

Good luck with your survey you sound like you are well prepared I have to tell you I heard about you on Howard Stern so I watched some of your videos are you are a very well-rounded intelligent interesting woman

Is that papaya on the left ?!

Ooo how do you measure the height of the trees?!

How've you liked the backpack after using it for some time? By the look of it, this is exactly the kind I've been trying to find.

How did you like using the bag for your job ? I really like the style of this bag but wanted a real person’s opinion on its quality and functionality.

Hello cousin

Dear Alicia You look like you are the woman with THE handbag. Ready for everything. Inspector Gadget style! Go go Gadget backpack... I wonder what is the weight when full? I wonder if by week 2, you become a weight weeny, and go the other way, as in the lightest weight you could be? Who or what project funds the 20 technicians to do this for the birds? Have fun. Do you have some music to listen to while out? Will you see any other technicians while out at your survey points? Is it 6-8 hrs out, do you all meet for lunch? I would add bandaids for blisters (which you overlap 5 over each heel blister.) and bamboo socks to stand in all day comfortably! You could buy a go pro and a handheld video mount stabilizer for your VLOGS a tripod, if you want to take some footage. You could also take audio calls with a H5 zoom, of each animal you come across while out and about! I hope they appreciate your commitment and hard work, and that you make a few friends, that your supervisor, boss, project coordinators and other technicians are nice to you, and welcome you sincerely to their team. In kindred spirit, Eliza Australia xx

No fountain pen?!😱

What's that noise in the background? It's either hot telephone wires or insects, but it's evoking childhood memories I can't put my finger on

Bag brand please.

Hope you have a great first week at your new job!

Good luck!
