CDT Q&A 4: motivation, marijuana, calories, BRS stove, altitude sickness, T-shirts, etc
I can never say enough how much I appreciate all the support from the people on Patreon and all of you who watch my videos! I like to do video chats with my Patreon community and give them the most up-to-date updates from the trail, but since I think other people may have some of the same questions I still want to share some of the information from these Q&A's with everyone. So as my regular CDT episodes catch up, I'll post an edited version of each Q&A publicly on Youtube just like I did from the PCT.
It can be difficult to find reliable WIFI from the trail, but I hope to do these more in the near future. If you want to participate in the next Q&A head over to http://patreon.com/homemadewanderlust. Every patron, no matter how much you pledge will have access to all these Q&A's, and I will try to give as much notice as possible before they start. Hope you enjoy and thank you again so much for watching this channel!
If you'd rather not sit through the whole video I made a little table of contents below so you can click through the topics that interest you.

Hey y'all, I hadn't planned on making a video from our trip to Costa Rica, but I ended up getting so much footage of really cool critters and the landscape I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it. Since I didn't plan to release this I wasn't narrating everything like I normally do, but hopefully this gives you a pretty good idea of what it was like. Still can't go on a proper backpacking trip, but I hope you enjoy this *bonus video!

I also used the Nemo Hornet 1p for a short stretch, and in this video I cover it and my Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2 (Appalachian Trail thru-hike) as possible cheaper alternatives. Thank you for watching!
