🐢 I like to take hot chocolate and instant coffee and mix them. Its great warm if I have the time or cold if I'm in a rush.

Very good information…..thanks! 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

[ChristopherMarshburn]

Love the brushing teeth while hiking to save time at camp. Always looking for ways to be more efficient! 🐢

[richardross]

Nice video. Do not hike and brush your teeth at the same time. 50+ years ago in Boy Scouts we were told about a boy falling while walking and brushing. The brush was jammed into the back of his throat. He immediately pulled it out and bled a lot. This was part of a lesson to us to leave a penetrating object in place to minimize bleeding. Good Luck, Rick

Fantastic video, haha 😂"not me and my imaginary friend". 😀

Tara, your next video should be how you packed your pack and the way you compiled your gear in it.

[journeytothedestination]

This is so helpful! I am sure when I start the trail in a couple of weeks I will be a mess in the mornings LOL

[billiebluesheepie]

I’m so clumsy I couldn’t brush my teeth and walk at the same time without tripping and shoving the toothbrush through my soft palette — but I can be fairly efficient in the mornings once I’m warmed up after the first week or so :-)
(...or once the hiker hobble has set in!!!)

🐢🐢🐢🐢Great video. Still working on my morning routine but its coming together quickly. 🐢🐢🐢🐢

[Zraggs]

Good idea to figure out a good daily routine prior to getting on trail. Been there, done that, last one out of camp. LOL! Won't be so disorganized this time. (No emoticons on my old pc, but cute!!)

[lovetohikenewengland]

Great video thank you. I'm a little nervous about the shelter can you do a more informative video on this?🐢

[JuliaJacksons]

How do you know where the shelters are and how many there are

[lisamishou]

Off topic, lol, can't help but notice the post office box on shelf in the background. My Dad got one when he retired from the Post Office. Did someone in your family recieve that?
Love your posts!!

🐢🐠the fish is for The sheriff! Candy momma, is the jewelry just for womenfolk? I contacted them and am waiting a reply. LOL

[theresedignard]

Info is great on hiking. But, do you serious care about jewelry while hiking? Not!

[marklll]

wait, why do we have to look great while hiking (:
