Realistic Backpacking | Rolling with the Unexpected

This series of unexpected events on trails began by hitchhiking from El Chaltén to Río Eléctrico where I planned to begin my first trail. After hiking in I discovered that the campsite I wanted to stay at was pay-to-stay and the hikes I wanted to do from that campsite would require a chest high river crossing in a freezing cold river with rapids even if I did end up staying there. So with my plans uncertain I hiked back towards the start of the trail and veered off to an area of complete solitude accompanied by heavy winds. I didn't feel well (continued for a few weeks now) so I spent the night resting there and then the following day took off towards the basecamp for FitzRoy. I crossed an easier river (though still quite difficult due to the wind and steep drop offs in the river) and then after setting up my base camp I hiked back into town to wait out the rain. I end with a slow easy hike back up to the basecamp and prepared for an early morning sunrise attempt at Fitz Roy (yet again). **RIVER CROSSING The river is not always this high. It had been raining for days leading up to the day I finally went back out on trail and a bridge that went across had been washed out. I imagine that if you tried to hike in this area now you would have no problem crossing the river. Additionally I might have tried to cross the river while lifting my pack if I hadn't been alone. Trekking with someone else might have reassured me that if I was swept away by the water there would be someone else there to help me recover (dry off, warm up, have shelter and food if my pack was swept away, etc.) The shoes I use on every trek and while at camp: https://xeroshoes.com/go/KathrynJones/ To learn more about my previous and upcoming treks, information on gear I use, and other outdoor tips and tricks check out my website: https://www.kathrynmjones.com Videos take a few weeks or months to compile and edit but if you would like to join along on my adventures in real time you can follow my daily stories on Instagram: @kathrynmjones   / kathrynmjones​   Chapters: 00:00 Not a great start 00:26 My hiking plans 01:34 Arrive at trailhead 05:34 First campsite 07:05 New plan 08:52 New campsite 12:55 Hiking day 2 13:52 River crossing 16:31 Across the river 18:08 Next campsite 20:23 New new plan 23:11 Coming up next… MUSIC: (All music is from the YouTube Creators Audio Library) Succotash - Silent Partner Feeling’s Not Mutual - Single Friend Empire Seasons - Dan Henig
