Solo Backpacking in 30° Rain & Snow | Mount Hood, Oregon

Early spring in the Salmon–Huckleberry Wilderness near Mount Hood, Oregon can be unpredictable. Rain, snow, and cold temperatures are all part of the experience as I head out solo backpacking in the forests and mountains of the Mount Hood National Forest. The Salmon–Huckleberry Wilderness is one of the quieter areas near Mount Hood, with dense forests, river valleys, and rugged terrain that make it perfect for a peaceful backpacking trip even when the weather turns rough. This video is sponsored by Arcade Belts I recently started using an Arcade Belt on my backpacking trips and it’s been fantastic. The stretch and low-profile buckle make it way more comfortable under a pack hip belt when you're carrying weight all day. Check them out here: https://geni.us/ArcadeBelts Fuel for the Trip – Foundation Foods I’ve also been bringing Foundation Foods on a lot of my backpacking trips. Their meals are lightweight, high-calorie, and easy to pack in the backcountry.
