🎙️ Ep 032. 4 Outdoor Skills Every Woman Should Master Before a Solo Trip

Are you dreaming of heading out on a solo adventure but unsure where to start?

In this episode, I break down 4 core outdoor skills that every woman should learn before taking off on a solo hiking or backpacking trip.

Whether you're brand new to the idea of "going solo" or looking to level up your confidence on trail, this episode gives you the foundation to get started—safely and intentionally.

We’re also gearing up for the 2025 Solo Adventure Summit (happening June 5–6), and this episode is the perfect prep. These skills—route planning, safety prep, physical readiness, and wildlife awareness—are all topics we’ll be diving into at the summit, and that I cover extensively inside my Backpacking Badass Program.
