Our outdoorsy friends asked us if we'd be into going backpacking.
(They're backpacking regulars & us= not so much)
We hike quite a bit, but not with 30 lbs+ of gear strapped to our backs.
If you know us, you know we both love the outdoors.
Camping is our jam! But backpacking, for me, seemed like such unknown territory.
Carrying literally everything you need, being out in the middle of the wilderness,
in the pitch black night, with goodness knows what other creatures.
Those parts I was skeptical about.
But, nonetheless, we decided to go. And I'll tell you what, it was so worth it!
our packs were packed!

blue, the guard dog, basically watched us sleep all night.
he'd occasionally converse with the screeching owl in the distance.
despite it being 36* overnight, I slept fairly well.
mr. mack on the other not so much.
our sleeping bags were ultra cozy & our two person tent holds the warmth.

It was great to bring our pup along on this adventure.
We can't wait to go backpacking again.
Who wants to join this time?
Hope you had a great weekend + happy Monday!
