A Video A Day... Finding Your Landmark

YouTube is a plethora of information.  Some... leaves much to be desired.  But others are, for lack of a better word... addicting.  The latter is true for the YouTube channel Landmark Adventures.


The channel's host, Brooklynn, is a backpacker and avid adventurer.  She travels into the wilderness areas of California, solo, challenging herself to complete longer and more exciting terrain.  She's hiked the Tahoe Yosemite Trail and the John Muir Trail.  She hand crafts bush knives and does trail work.  She's pretty much what every amateur adventurer strives to be.

She's quick-witted, funny, and engaging.  Her videos are clever and make you long for spending lots of time in the natural world.  She is currently working on completing her videos from her John Muir Trail.  Each segment leaves you eager for more and she has a way with bringing you onto the trail with her.  Her most recent video "Lord of the Bags" shows Brooklynn take on the daring task of returning a lost bag to a desperate hiker.  As a lover of Tolkien, this amusing epic left me rolling in fits of laughter.  She hit it right on the nose.


Brooklynn has a gift.  And at only 35, she's setting out in life confident and excited about her prospects for expanding her portfolio of experiences.  Watch her videos and support her passions.  Because, after all, we are all seeking out that which we love and giving back is how we show our dedication to personal triumphs.  Bonus: you're in for one sweet ride!

  1. She's so naturally full of life and expresses it beautifully through her videos.

  2. 2 hrs ago: Faced with a frustrating task, like finding a short in a piece of homemade electrical equipment (my water level meter) I like to put on Brooklynn's JMT story. 'Marmots', I love 'em!'.

    Now: Didn't find the short. Still, the work went fast.

    We should crowd-source Brooklynn's NOBO journey on the PCT.
