I went solo tent camping for the first time this fall and had a great time exploring in Door County, Wisconsin. My backpacking experiment was put to the rest at Rock Island with inclement weather! Thanks for watching ☺

I've camped on Rock Island since I was 3, almost every year! We've missed the last three since we have small children. Thank you for taking me with you this year. Such a joy to see a place I love so much through someone else's lens.

I have went here for 8-9 years and I am 11 years old. I always make so much memories at the island. My favorite part is the boat rides there because at the last one there is just so emotional like there we go again. On Washington island our family goes to the albatross restaurant. I LOVE ROCK ISLAND❤️❤️❤️

I have been following your stories for several years and I can see how you have changed. A life lesson I want to share with you is to be mentally prepared to expect anything from anybody. Only God will always have your back. Once I realized that, I was able to be around people, always expecting nothing, but what they would be able to share at the moment, but not isolating myself. The feeling of emptiness can only be filled with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you, you are a brave woman. From: Somebody who has been there.

Thank you for sharing your prep. My friend and I are in the same situation; it's been 25-30 years since we've done any serious backpacking and camping and we are heading up to Door County for a test. I just ordered the KYTE 38, thinking it would be fine for 2-4 days of backpacking but after seeing your bag, I'm getting concerned! I'm investing in a new sleeping bag, so hopefully its a little smaller when compressed. This should be interesting-lol!

I love our Big Agnes tent so much, happy to see that is what you're using! Also, its such a journey when it comes to gear. The more you do it the more you learn about what you need, what you don't need, and ways to swap things for better things. All of that depends on length of stay, type of adventure etc. Its fun to look back on too. Enjoy!

Hey there, Jen! Love seeing you out on your own adventures. 💕 I've fit hundreds of packs over the years and we suggest shoving your sleeping bag into the bottom of your pack sans-compression sack. Maybe try that out at home and see how things fit. Good luck!

I read this book a couple of years ago about an English man who travels in a flimsy tent around Germany. I think you might enjoy it, “Tents and Tent Stability: A Month-Long Camping Adventure in Germany - In a Rather Dodgy Tent! “ I thought the name was cool and a play on Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Another great video Jen, well done.

Have you thought about a down sleeping bag? Most of the time those compress more than the synthetic fill ones. I haven't been backpacking in several years, but that is what we used when we used to go. The only thing is you have to make sure that they don't get wet or they won't be as warm.

That's how I used to do it when I was younger and would go on two-week backpacking trips. But my sleeping bag was heavier/bulkier twenty years ago :) I think it's great to test configurations out during shorter trips, like Jen has done.

You can also pack the backpack as you need (except the sleeping bag of course) close the top, lay the backpack on top vertically and use the backpack "hood" (the brain?) to secure it into place. The hoods straps can be extended quite a bit in the front and back - extend them to how long you need them to be to cover the sleeping back, snap the closures and then fasten the straps back down a bit.

So many of my friends even my aunt love to go up there but I’ve never ventured that way. I’m once again interested and inspired to go because of these vids.🙌🏽. I love these and that you are trying new things, fearlessly. New camping items, expanding your camping toolkit. I love that the agendas stay open with just some key items you intend to do. So freeing!❤️

Jen in order to save space, could you leave the sleeping pad and only sleep in the sleeping bag. And could you use a nice thick stick as a walking stick? Just some ideas, in case it could be helpful to you. I love sharing in your adventures and especially love to see the foods you make and what you pack. :-) Old subscriber here! :-) Bless you!

As a former REI employee, you never want to skip out on bringing your sleeping pad. It's a crucial part of your sleep system and you want to create a barrier between you and the ground. In terms of hiking poles, it's important to use lightweight, adjustable poles as they are far less cumbersome than a stick. Love seeing people getting out there!

I love watching your adventures. I do have an unrelated question. Please believe that this is honest curiousity, not an attack. Why are you no longer plant based? I remember when you cried about the videos you could not unsee. I understood that completely, as I am vegan. I am curious what changed. There is a huge vegan community on Instagram, if you feel alone. Recipes, support, etc. 🌱

It’s not safe to camp right under trees if it’s storming because a tree could fall on you. So a clearing is actually better for camping during a storm.

Jen, As a twenty-something Ft working mama who is in the thick of things, your little adventures are such a respite! I love the outdoors and know latter seasons of my life will allow for travels like yours but, in the meantime, I live vicariously through you. Also, if you haven’t read Wild by Cheryl Strayed, you need to. It’s an autobiography about a woman who has a rather unorthodox midlife crisis and decides she’s going to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. I see so much similarity between her story and yours! 🤍
