This is part 1 of a multi day solo hiking and wild camping vlog I made, trekking through the Prenj Mountains in Bosnia & Herzegovina and it is the first hiking vlog I ever made.

This hike forms part of the Via Dinarica White Trail, which follows the highest peaks of the Dinaric Alps in the Balkans and it took me 5 days to complete, although I was taking it very slow as I really enjoyed being alone in the wilderness, finding rustic hiker's shelters to sleep in and just embracing the solitude of nature.

At this time in my life, I had very little experience with multi-day solo hiking or wild camping and I did it very unprepared, so it felt a bit like I was on some kind of wilderness survival challenge or an amateur solo hiker's initiation.

From having no good hiking gear and a much too overloaded pack, to getting lost, struggling for water, dodging landmines and having to take shelter from hailstorms, it was quite an adventure indeed.

This video covers the first 3 days of the journey; starting at Jablanica, spending the first 2 nights in a hiker's shelter at Meduprenje and then onwards to Vrutak where I intended to wild camp, but was forced by the weather to take shelter in an old run down mountain shack.

In part 2 we'll be summiting the highest peak called Zelena Glava at 2155m before slowly making our way out of the mountains.

PS. This is a rather rough vlog as it was my first attempt at talking to cameras and I was much too focused on not dying in those mountains, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless. I have many more solo hiking and wild camping vlogs to share where we unfold a lot more, so do stay tuned...
