My Luxury Backpacking Trip Took an Unfortunate Turn

My luxury backpacking trip was hijacked by bugs! I attempted to have a luxurious overnight backpacking adventure by planning a very short hike and packing all my luxury items like camp chairs, a cocktail kit, and even a hammock to lounge in! But nature does not care about even the best laid plans and mosquitos tormented myself and the crew the entire time, threatening to ruin our luxury backpacking adventure. Watch the video to see how we managed to still have fun, and how I remembered a few vital lessons about the reality of backpacking along the way!
