I'm curious, is there any sort of rule of thumb to confirm someone is OK if they leave their backpack by the trail to go cop a squat? E. g. How do you know they are OK and not in need of help? If it was someone I was with on the trail, I would probably call out just to confirm. but I'd have a harder time doing that with someone random as I wouldn't know their name more than likely. I'd rather not be like 'to the pooper in the woods. '

One thing I'll add is if there is a lot of wind don't have a campfire above-ground if things are remotely dry dig the Dakota fire hole it is a lot safer of a method if you absolutely have to have a fire because it's down in the ground and you just put a couple sticks over the hole and set your part on it that way you'll still be able to cook and you'll minimize your risk of Embers flying off and then catching Fire elsewhere

Dixie, this may be a silly question, but as another long-hair, what do you do with your shed hairs from brushing? Do you pack them? I always used to hear that they were fine to leave outside and that birds could use them, but in recent years I've heard that human hair is harmful to wildlife, including the same birds I was always told could use them.

Modern campers bring their entire home with them in their RVs, they start their generators as soon as they arrive, watch TV inside all day and make a lot of noises all day and night with at least 3 large dogs too, beside their family of 7. They don't seem to be out there to enjoy nature, but to be away from their communities.

Oh and another positive Ford using the Dakota fire hole method is whenever your fire is out and you're done using it and you make sure it's out you can just bury it back with the dirt you dug out to make it and it is 0 impact and actually helps the soil there because coals left over will enrich the soil

One of the simplest of signs reminding people to be courteous I came across while visiting monument parks in the southwest. Take only pictures, leave only footprints. Good rule to live by.
Hugging the tree lmao, all I could envision was Cool Hand Luke Shakin the bush boss, shakin the bush.

Im a conventional backpacker. Most of the time i carry 15-25 kg. Is it normal or to heavy. Considering that hike alone.
Ultralight still a dream. My tent it self weight around 3. 9 kg. 4P. It to much but has decent Spec for java weather.

My backpacking education came from people who backpacked in the sixties and seventies. I was always taught to take only pictures and leave only footprints. I love your videos Dixie, keep up the great work.
