Last night Andrew moderated a discussion between guide Kat Weyland and myself about all the ways that backpacking is inherently different for women than it is for men.
Topics we discussed included:
- Dealing with potential harassment or unwanted attention
- Tips for hiking solo
- Menstruation
- Peeing and pooping in the woods
- Skin and hair care
- Women-specific gear and whether you need it
- Training and fitness
