Solo Backpacking On Cape Cod

It's been five years since I last got out for a solo backpacking micro adventure on the shores of Cape Cod. Join me as I swap out the rocks and roots for sand dunes and seashells, check out a recently built lean-to shelter, and test out a couple of new pieces of gear. For a look at my gear list for this hike see below 👇.

*It was very windy on this trip. I cleaned up the audio the best I could, but there may be a couple of very short segments where the wind cuts in.
