What I Wish I Knew Before Hiking The CDT: Bear Spray

During my CDT hike in 2021 and 2022, I learned SO much and created this series to talk about what I wish I knew before hiking the trail. I hope this helps future CDT hikers prepare! This video is about bear spray. More bear safety videos to come! This isn’t all encompassing advice, just what I personally experienced on trail. If you’re planning to hike the CDT or hike in grizzly country, do your research and practice what is comfortable to you from a safety perspective. I’m hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2023 for my Triple Crown of hiking attempt. Feel free to subscribe to follow along!
