The app FarOut has been extremely helpful in my long-distance hiking trips, and I'm always learning something new! In this deep dive, I'll go through situations you may encounter before and during your thru hike, and how to use Far Out to help. I'll also go over all the far out features in order of where they're found to help you remember. This is an incredible tool and I hope this video helps you in your hike, thru hike, or backpacking trip!
PS- FarOut didn't sponsor this video or anything. I've just wasted a lot of time not using it to its full potential!
What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!
