  • Next time I won’t film when the sun is setting… (Also, NZ is heading into Level 3 lockdown as of tomorrow).
    If you find value in my work, or you’d like more insight from me on creating videos from your adventures, hiking, or finding the best peanut butter; consider supporting me and my filmmaking journey on / elinaosborne

    FAQs:
    - Did I start alone? Yes. But the trail is super easy to make friends on, so relax and trust that along the 2650 miles of dirt, you’ll meet at least one person you might want to hike with.
    - Music? I source it from MusicBed & Epidemic Sound - I also have a playlist! spoti.fi/3akkMDP
    - How much money did you spend on the trail? Around $1000 USD a month.
    - Your Hiking and Filming Gear? A video is coming, for now - check out my webpage (as above)
    - Favourite Foods? A video is also coming, but for now just trust that peanut butter was a staple.
    - How I edit? Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects
    - How did I charge my gear? I would charge it using a power bank or every 3-7 days in towns.
    - One piece of advice: Do your research, but understand that you’ll never feel truly prepared. Get your gear sorted, try talking to someone who has done the trail, don’t be disheartened by fear-mongering. Always make decisions based on your own experience. And just enjoy one of the wildest rides of your life!

I don't know how I stumbled across hiking videos but your video and another woman's video on the AT have inspired me to attempt a thru hike. I've always loved taking day trips to go hiking in cool spots. Somehow, it never crossed my mind that you can hike for more than one day. A 5 month thru hike for my husband and I is not an option right now but we have talked about doing a section hike of the AT that runs through our current state of North Carolina.

I did SO MUCH planning for my 2018 hike only to find less than a week into the trail, most of my plan went out the window. I didn't bother planning too much of my 2019 hike. What a fun, wild adventure both of those hikes were. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. Love your videos!!

One is that when I was about your age, living in Nowhere, USA, and had just out of military service, I did the reverse and spent 12 weeks in NZ, going from top to bottom and staying mostly at (awesome) hostels. The experience including meeting lots of fun people (many Aussies and Canadians who were also traveling) was what I needed.

Also well done to you for committing to the whole process, actually going, filming the whole way, journaling, editing and finally having the bravery to share it all!

    Wow! I clicked to watch your PCT thru-hike but became mesmerized by your ability as a filmmaker, editor, storyteller, and subject. I’m a new subscriber because I don’t want to miss anything that you create, but also because I think I can learn a lot from you. As far as suggestions, please don’t neglect NZ. There’s so much material in your backyard to which you may have become habituated, perhaps to the point of apathy. Part of the reason we love to travel is because we come at new experiences with eyes wide open. My experience has been that when we borrow from the experiences of others we too may see again as though for the first time. Empathy is a superpower! 😊
