Why do you love backpacking? I asked Evan on our 3rd day on the trail. And unlike in ‘normal life’, we had hours to consider, and talk about it. 

Here were our top 3 reasons:

**Evan**
〰️ Feel small 🌎 
〰️ Let my mind wander 🤔
〰️ Be connected to nature🌲 

**Angela:**
〰️ Quality time 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻
〰️ Detaching and feeling stress-free 🧘🏻‍♀️
〰️ The challenge 💪 

The funny thing is, the thought of being disconnected used to really worry me—and now, it may be what I crave most. Anyone else? 

What’s one reason you love to get outdoors? 

〰️We are re-living our 4-day backpacking trek into the Sierra Nevada, California. Our Day 2 recap reel is coming soon…

Happy Friday 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️
