Hello Danielle. I came across your video. My friend and I will be leaving in 10 days to hike the W trek. Your video was so helpful. I know you made it 6 years ago, but it's still useful. I especially wanted to mention that I bought myself a back brace, and walked 5 miles with my 18 lb. pack today, and I had no back pain. So I bless your name, because I am quite sure that I will have a much better experience in Patagonia because of your video. I hope you're having lots of wonderful adventures. This is Catherine from Michigan.

Thanks for the video and I think it's a good starting point. Things I would not pack from her list: - No PJs - sleep in base layer - 2 sets of underwear vs one for each day - hydration pack vs water bottle (it's lighter) - No swim suit (swim in underwear if needed) - No journal, map or selfie stick (just use your phone for these things). - no hand warmers (you're sleeping in a tent) - No towel (get it from the Refugio) 🙏

Thanks for the tips. I'm hoping to do the w trek in the spring (feb-March). Did you bring actual luggage? Or just your back pack? Where do people keep their luggage during their hike? I'm debating doing that and packing lighter and staying at the shelters vs just bringing a backpacking pack 65L and just carrying everything (tent/cooking/sleeping bag etc) for the hike and the rest of the trip. I'm used to trips in the US where you just keep stuff in the rental car or hotel. I did a trek in Peru but they take care of everything for you. So I've never really done a trip like this. Oh did you do the hike without a guide?

@danielletrz 7 жыл бұрын

We hiked without a guide! And honestly, the trails are so well kept that its very easy to do without one. As for packing, Less is more always! Because we were doing more of Chile ( Santiago and Valparaiso after) we left our other bag in the hostel in Puerto Natales and just took our backpacks! Hope you have an amazing trip!

@charleslago8624 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing, Danielle. Could you tell us a little bit about the way you did the W circuit? I hear about going from both sides, but seems to me that starting from Torres side would be easier. The only thing that I concern about is the time to go back to P. Natales leaving from Paine Grande. Do you know the schedules for the buses and how easy it was to get it? Thank you for video, it is great!

Hey Danielle, thanks for the video. Questions... in the month of December, did you actually use all of your layers? (did it rain?) (did you use your down jacket + fleece?). thanks for your help!

@littleblackdressmusical381 5 жыл бұрын

Yes I did use all my layers! Especially in the early morning and evening it got very cold. But in the day I was wearing shorts and a tank!

@danielletrz 5 жыл бұрын

Yes I used all layers. Sometimes I wore shorts sometimes I had to wear hats and gloves- esp at night! It was literally all 4 seasons. It rained, snowed, was hot, and cool so layers layers layers!

Danielle, hello... it will be my first time in life to use a back bag... is an osprey 55 L. I’m going to travel to the north of Brazil , so it’s warm weather... maybe rain some day, I don’t know... I haven’t been there. The thing is as I don’t have experience on how to pack a bag pack..... could you help me ? Please.. I need to carry sun block, a towel, and sandals... All these is a bit heavy and in some videos referring on how to pack..... they say the heavy things must be close to the spine column .... I pu all my clothes inside a plastic bag and I took the air so it’s very thin. I carry also a small soap to wash my clothes... we are going 14 days .... it’s for me the first time I go to beaches for long time....could you help me please... where to put the things inside the bag. I feel it too heavy and I have not pain in my back .... maybe is not for me? ... but it must, cos in November I will travel to Atacama desert... and in that place I think a luggage is not comfortable.... well, sorry for bothering you.. and thanks a lot

Hey Beatriz! You will be fine and will have the best time! Especially if you have pack problems I highly recommend a backtrace and IBprofen! I used small ziplock bags to make things smaller and waterproof. Yes heavier things on the bottom. If you have a good backpack, use the straps to adjust to make it more comfortable for you! Hope that helps and have a wonderful trip!!!

Thanks for all the pro tips? I am going in October and was wondering if I should take my own tent and sleeping bag and sleeping mat or pay for a refugio? How much do they cost a night?

@bleedscold 7 жыл бұрын

Hi PostwarKids, Curious about what you did for tent? Wondering if I should take my own or rent? Do they rent them at the campgrounds? if so, how much do they cost?

@sutash9043 6 жыл бұрын

I've been doing some research 'cos I'm going this November. They do rent camping gear (as in tent and sleeping bag) Here you'll find all the info. www.fantasticosur.com/rates/
