In this video, I share 10 important hiking tips that I've learned over time. When I started out, I used to make a lot of mistakes as a beginner hiker. But several hikes (and thru-hikes) later, I'm now more experienced. I want to share these backpacking hacks so that you don't make the same hiking mistakes that I did. ▼ EGRETECH PLUME 300 POWER STATION (free sample & Amazon affiliate links) Egretech ➜ https://egretech.com/products/300w-portable-power-station-plume-300 Amazon ➜ https://amzn.to/3OTfPIC ▼ THRU-HIKING POSTERS (MADE BY ME & MY GF) Shop hiking trail posters here ➜ https://trailgoals.com/ (10% discount code: oscarhikes) Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/trail.goals/ ▼ GEAR MENTIONED & SHOWN IN VIDEO (affiliate links) Osprey Backpack ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3KJpOO3) Sawyer Micro Squeeze water filter ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3riXlDf) Decathlon Forclaz Sleeping Mat ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/collections/backpacking-sleep-gear/products/backpacking-foam-folding-mattress-trek-100-174619) R.E.I.
