Backpacking in the PNW? Here’s how we stayed cozy when the weather turned on us mid-hike. 1. Check the forecast—but assume it’s lying 2. Pack a sub-freezing sleeping bag (you’ll thank yourself at 2am) 3. Use a high R-value sleeping pad (cold ground = fast misery) 4. Bring a legit rain fly, not a cheap one 5. Waterproof stuff sacks or dry bags = lifesavers 6. Layer up smart: base, mid, and waterproof shell 7. Keep an emergency bivy or thermal blanket just in case 8. Don’t be a hero—turn around when it gets sketchy 9. Keep your down gear dry at all costs 10. Always have a backup plan (and tell someone where you’re going) #backpacking #pnwbackpacking #backpackinggear #hikingtips #campinglife #pnwadventures #mountainweather #beprepared #survivalskills #gearcheck #coldweathercamping #rainorshine #outdoorprep #emergencyprep #limitless

Do you ever wonder why it’s worth going through hell to reach some spots? Because in the pnw, the season/weather/temp/waterlevel/snowline will always try to hold you back from reaching the most beautiful parts of this region, BUT WE CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE STOPPED #BackpackingForBeginners #HowToBackpack #PNWBackpacking #NorthCascades #WashingtonHiking #SoloBackpacking #BackpackingTips #LearnToBackpack #BeginnerBackpacker #HikingForBeginners #SoloHiking #BackpackingGear #PNWAdventures #PNWExplorer #HikingWashington #PacificNorthwest #TrailTips #BackpackThePNW #BackpackingLife #AdventureEducation #NatureHowTo #LimitlessOutside #MountainMinded #BackcountryBasics #ExploreResponsibly
My form of meditation 🙏🏼 solo hiking is the best time to allow your thoughts to flow freely. To pray and to problem solve. I always come away from solo hikes feeling mentally rejuvenated!😄😄 #SoloHiking #PNWAdventures #HikingFit #GoreTexReady #HikingGear #OutdoorStyle #WildernessCulture #HikeMoreWorryLess #BackcountryVibes #GetOutside #TrailReady #MountainFit #WhatIWoreHiking #TechnicalWear #ExploreMore #AllTerrainStyle #OutdoorGear #RainOrShineGear
Would you trade comfort for adventure? Rain, snow, freezing temps—and still one of the best little backpacking trips I’ve done. Perry Creek Trail doesn’t disappoint. #perrycreektrail #forgottenpeak #pnwhiking #backpackinglife #campingintherain #snowcamping #coldnightswarmhearts #hikewashington #optoutside #adventuretime #hikelife #getoutside #limitless #rainorshine #campvibes #solohiking #pnwhike #pnwtrails
@PYRA | SAM Parachute Pants Review ⬇️ ✅ Design & color Looks clean and stands out—gets compliments every time ✅ Pocket details Tactical vibes with actually useful storage ✅ Lightweight & breathable Feels like you’re barely wearing pants (in the best way) ✅ Dries fast Got soaked—bone dry 20 mins later ✅ Super baggy Crazy range of motion + mad comfy ❗️Only downside Way too long on me (short legs) but you can tie the bottoms! ⭐️ Overall: 9/10 Would buy again in another color
Might be the most peaceful and the most deadly kind of night hiking if I may be so bold🧐#nighthiking #snowhike #winternights #underthestars #snowadventures #hikingtok #trailtime #coldoutside #pnwhiking #backpackinglife #outdoortok #campvibes #naturetherapy #packlight #hikeready #adventureawaits #wildernessculture #realtalkreviews #nightvibes #optoutside #snowtok
