My name is Anastasia Allison and I am a professional adventure-preneur
for me giving back to that hiking community that is what really inspires me
helping other aspiring adventure-preneurs go from stuck to summit which is what I like to say
and really helping people work through that process that I sort of went through myself
I think a lot of hikers tend to view themselves as
recreationalists or weekend warriors not realizing that this is such a strenuous sport
we're hiking and climbing mountains or backpacking and carrying
heavy weight on our backs for sometimes eight to ten hours in a day
and so when I started seeing myself as an athlete in this incredible sport
I started to realize that I really had to treat myself like an athlete
I've made wellness a big part of my life because I think that it ripples
into everything if you aren't taking care of your body it's going to show up elsewhere
Do you remember when I used to eat only Snickers when I hiked and
swedish fish and what else did I eat like I think Doritos
For some reason I thought that when you went backpacking you just had to have junk or candy
most of the backpacking food that you buy at the store is
it's mostly sodium and so I've really had to learn how to make my own healthy
backpacking meals and I think I feel a lot better eating the sweet potatoes and the peas
Headlamp and I've got the stove
Then let me get my food bag
A couple of bars
Jerky
and dinner which I always look forward to
That feels pretty good
Back in the day I'd just eat excessive amounts of trail mix and junk because I
didn't understand how strenuous this sport of backpacking and climbing
mountains is and how properly fueling myself for this sport and really taking
care of my body by putting the proper nutrition in my body was going to make a shift
[Aaron] And I've noticed a big difference with this too - I mean you're
hiking faster you're feeling better and actually I'm feeling it too because
I'm not doing it the same way you are because it's like almost like a hobby
for me but it's just what you do but I'm eating similarly to you and I've noticed
a big difference too - I mean I'm feeling better I have more energy I think I'm
able to go a little farther a little faster too
[Anastasia] What we're eating tonight it's actually pretty much like what we
eat at home but it's so convenient because I've figured out how to bring it
with me on the trail and we're having fresh vegetables and I mean all good
foods that I would eat at home in fact it's been really life-changing because I
have been able to fuel myself properly and there's really no difference between
my personal life at home and my life on the trail
