@Chrissy@mountains.social Hi! You are not the only one. And I'm about sixty 😄 My plan for this summer is Lapland (Finland).

@Chrissy@mountains.social I'll say hello anyway, even though I haven't done multi-day hikes since my teens, my longest just over eight hours last June. I'll turn 67 in a few months, and am in western Montana. Anyway, hello, and you're right, there are few women on this hashtag, and certainly none in my neck of the woods. 😃

@Chrissy@mountains.social 👋🏽 I’m mid-40s woman, love backpacking and being a nerd about packing logistics. I haven’t posted much about it because I spent last year recovering from a backpacking injury turned surgery. But been easing back into things since January. Sounds like some exciting trips coming up for you!

@Chrissy@mountains.social Female hiker 46 y o here! I usually pack a few extra things to increase safety or to be more comfortable. Yep, I sleep on a 10 cm inflateable, got a comfy sleeping bag with lots of room, and prefer to carry good food instead of awful but light food. Oh, and I always hike with my dog, so I need to bring things for him too.

@Chrissy@mountains.social hi Chrissy, I’m 55 and on my last 3-day walk (Tasmania) with 3 men I was ridiculed for packing a sizeable tub of hummus.

@Chrissy@mountains.social hi! You're not the only one 😊 I'm almost 50 (it seems so strange to say it out loud, now), I hike in the Dolomites and I'm planning with my partner and some friends to go to the Kungsleden in Sweden for the second time. And we'll bring our dogs as well, so extra weight, too!

@Chrissy@mountains.social late 30s, and dont do many multiltiday walks, but planning one. I think I enjoy organising the food almost as much as the walk. Do like to dehydrate stuff (if going somewhere where I can take with). Do like the heavier, tasier premade stuff. And snacks. Wraps, salami and the hardest cheese we can find for lunches (always walked in cooler places where that works). Dark chocolate and port for desserts.

@Chrissy@mountains.social Hi! I love a multi-day hike, especially on my own. Haven’t been away for a couple of years now but hoping to do something this summer. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures!

@Chrissy@mountains.social I haven't done any multi-day hikes in a while and am recovering from serious illness, but am a keen hiker in my early 50s looking to do more. I'm a member of the Scottish Women's Walking Group, which might be worth a look if you're ever up this way and want company (facebook only, annoyingly).

@Chrissy@mountains.social hi! I just turned 50, love a good ultralight hike with my husband. We did the Laugavegur in 2021 and have been hiking a 4-day, 40-mile thru-hike in the Uwharrie Mtns of NC (US) each fall. Do you use lighterpack.com ? I really like it for building and sharing pack lists...

@Chrissy@mountains.social I'm a female backpacker almost 69, and the ultralight gear craze has extended my backpacking years maybe by decades. Love my 1.5 lb Tarp Tent . And my 6 oz klymat sleeping pad. I've had my whisper light stove for decades. And those new fangled Sawyer mini water purifiers. That I can have my base weight down to under ten lbs, and still be comfortable is a marvel.
