Liberty Lifestyle: A Gen Z Guide to Backcountry Camping

Welcome to Liberty Lifestyle! This week my husband and I decided to go camping at Red River Gorge in Stanton, KY. Rock climbers and hikers come to the Gorge from all over the world for its natural rock formations, challenging trails, and breathtaking views. I recorded our experiences and made some notes on important supplies, how to set up a campsite for backcountry hammock camping, and how to prepare dehydrated meals using propane. If you’re interested in backcountry camping and want to give it a try, go for it!
