Hiking into the woods alone? | Living in my SUV 🚐

A three day adventure into the Oregon backcountry - just me and my backpack (and you). We start off in the SUV camper on a mountaintop campsite with STUNNNIG views of Mount Hood. A wonderful backdrop while I share how I am preparing for the trail (mostly snacks... and gear). This trail challenged me with my first ever bear hang. An emphasis on challenge, lol. But, as I talk about more in the video, these challenges that come with solo travel are exactly why I choose to venture into the woods alone.

After this, I headed back to Alberta where some new exciting things have been in the works. :)

👋 Who am I?
Hey, I'm Megan! I started solo female van life in my self-converted SUV camper in 2022. Now, my fiancé and I are gearing up for a full-on van build in a Ford Transit to tackle the road together. Hope to see you around! 🌞
