Hello hello hello! Jess here. AT Class of 2024! Ohio-based casual backpacker of 10 years -- outdoors, hiking, nature lover and content creator. I'll be posting backpacking videos and camping videos throughout my NOBO Appalachian Trail 2024 thru-hike -- sharing all of my greatest moments, biggest mistakes, hostel stays, informational videos, gear reviews, thru-hiking tips and backpacking tips. I am 100% new to the world of long-distance backpacking, but as a female thru-hiker and creator, I'm excited to document all of my highs & lows and show other aspiring women thruhikers that YOU CAN DO IT! (While also proving to myself that I can do it too :)) Thanks for watching!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to chime in here with a quick update since I've been MIA.
I started my new job last week as the Marketing & Community Manager for The Trek. I've been loving it, but I've also been crazy busy because of it. Good problems.
I'm hoping to get at least 1 more video uploaded by the end of the year. Also, my AT documentary is a work in progress. That should go up sometime early next year.
I'm hoping to be more active on here come Spring. But right now, all the content I create is for The Trek.
Thanks for your patience! Life is lifeing. :) If you'd like to support me or see what I'm up to, go follow my Instagram @jesshikestrails, or @thetrek.co
Thanks!

Hey friends - Captain Jack (@TrippinSober) asked me to share that he’s locked out of his channel and will be posting on @TrippinOnLife until he’s back in!

Hey everyone! How do we feel about the posting cadence? Do you wish there were daily uploads or do you like the 4/week schedule?
