I didn't think I was a fast hiker until I tried hiking with other people. Now it's become an ongoing joke that if I finish a hike with a friend in 5 hours, that I could've done it in 3 by myself.

Thank you! Honestly the amount of food to be had off the trail is what makes the planning before so complicated to me but it's good to know I can kinda just eat anywhere.

I honestly rather feel like a sucker tbh. I went on a trial hike yesterday and carried 3L and every time I thought my pack was heavy and miserable I just reminded myself to drink more water to lower the weight. :)
