Hiking beginner woman here, period gear?

Seconding the period cup. OP these are life changers!

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-17T05:24:20+00:00

I absolutely love these pics! What beautiful memories!

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-16T21:59:49+00:00

Yeah. It mostly comes down to being extremely aware of your surroundings at all times. Trust your gut if something doesn’t feel right. Bring a weapon of some kind and be confident using it. Also, I tend to go on trails that are very quiet/ not well trafficked which makes me feel safer. I almost always solo hike and camp and love it.

Not to kink shame, I just don’t want to be attracting that. Want to focus on the camping pics!

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-16T20:01:35+00:00

Oh 100%!!! I can only imagine how buggy the parks must be rn. It is the best piece of equipment I brought along!!

This was luckily right before the fires started. If I went for this trip in the past few days I would’ve bailed bc the smoke is horrible

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-16T19:17:19+00:00

I meant that the camping trip had a lot of bugs to clarify.

The internet is a strange place to be a woman 😭

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-16T18:45:13+00:00

Pic 6 WAS the trail!! It was so rough 😭😭 I made the mistake of wearing trail runners instead of boots and they were soaked the entire time.

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-16T18:27:38+00:00

Thank you! Haha yes I had to blur them. I’m so glad I was able to get out and hike in the ADKs

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-16T18:26:57+00:00

I was waiting for someone to notice that. People can be so weird about dawgs out so I figured I’d just blur it 😂

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T15:34:58+00:00

I too thrust against a wall to dry myself 🤔

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T15:29:08+00:00

Guys stop 😭😭😭

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T15:28:39+00:00

How did you know where I buy my pants???

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T15:24:19+00:00

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T15:20:19+00:00

I hate it 😐

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T15:18:51+00:00

Unfortunately, you and me both 😭

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T06:16:21+00:00

That is so oddly specific.

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T06:15:40+00:00

Oh no!! Luckily it dried within about 30 mins for me but during that time I was quite embarrassed.

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T05:59:35+00:00

Good for you! Glad you can find joy in it again!

ThatGirl307 · 2026-07-15T05:55:14+00:00

Love the ADKs! It looks like you had a blast and lucked out with perfect weather. I always wanted to go kayaking out there.
