She's BACK! Pam has finally returned for another backpacking video, and this time I took her on her first overnight trip in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness! If you're new here - Pam is my best friend and the most beloved guest in my videos ever! I took Pam on her first backpacking trip three years ago and that is when Pam fever began!! Much has changed in Pam's life since last last time. She's now a mom to Milo, her amazing and adorable perfect baby boy! Since Milo was born she has not been able to get out backpacking, and so this mid-summer overnight to a perfect Alpine Lake was the ideal trip for her return! Even though so much time has passed since the last time, and so much has changed in both our lives, backpacking with Pam also felt as if nothing had changed at all... 💚 Watch to the end to see Pam's essential tips for backpacking as a beginner!
