Welcome to Episode 5 of Adventures: Unpacked, where we trade polished reels for real stories from the wild.

This time, Jeff dives deeper into the story behind his first solo backpacking trip through Yellowstone National Park — the same journey featured in our latest YouTube video.

From the mental challenges of long days alone on the trail to the physical toll of carrying a heavy pack across 60 miles of wilderness, Jeff shares the moments you didn’t see on camera: the tough decisions, the behind-the-scenes mishaps, and the small wins that kept him going.

If you enjoyed the Yellowstone video and want more insight, lessons learned, and a candid discussion about solo adventures, this episode is for you.
