Female hiking partner

75


75 per visit - - Posted May 21, 2017

Accompany other females on short term hikes and backpacking adventures. I'm a skilled hiker, but am overweight and a good fit as a hiking partner for those who are novice, disabled, or generally feel they need extra time or care in accomplishing a hike. I also am self taught in plant and mushroom identification, and enjoy sharing these skills along the way. I will help you learn what to pack, tips and tricks of packing lightweight, and assist with any questions or concerns you have about hiking. I carry a firearm for protection on overnight trips. I also carry extra emergency equipment and emergency water filtration to accommodate additional travelers. If you would like to just meet and discuss hiking, I will be available to do so.

Must be within reasonable travelling distance to arrange a hike.

Training & Qualifications


I have been camping, hiking, and backpacking for over 10 years. I am self taught in plant and mushroom identification. Certified in first aid and CPR. I have a concealed carriers permit that needs renewed due to a name change, but I do carry when travelling alone or overnight.

Availability & Preferences


Weekdays after 5:30, and most weekends

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Vicki Bennett

I was born with a natural talent in art and mechanical skills. I began working for the government at 25, and have been in the social services field for over 15 years now. My daily job is dealing wit...h the public, which makes me very withdrawn at home. I enjoy small groups or one-on-one outings. I enjoy cooking, brewing, gardening, cats, backpacking, the outdoors, and foraging. I try to hike at least twice a month, and would love to meet like minded folks to backpack with. I am overweight and cramped in an office environment all day, so getting out into the wilderness is essential to my health and well-being. I regularly bike and walk my neighborhood and do urban plant identification. I study alternative, chemical free, gardening and medicine. However, I am no expert on either. I love to learn alternative health and survival methods. I'm absolutely in love with the tiny house revolution! I would love to learn more on solar, wind, and water power, and anything sustainability related. I'm slowly downsizing my life and my dependency on electronics and power. So far my efforts include donating nearly half my "stuff" to goodwill last year, and further downsizing what I own. I have turned off my phone and cable (kept internet), I got rid of my microwave, stopped buying anything in disposable containers, canceled my garbage service to force myself to recycle, traded my car in for a truck so I can now haul things I need, and am attempting to convert fully plant based. I am taking a break for a month, so bare with me! I'm taking steps to move forward in life, and it's a bit overwhelming at the moment. I'll be back as soon as I transition!!show more
