Can I hike in the USA for $1?

Ok wait let me explain. My name is Hayley Warnock, hailing from a small town in Victoria, Australia. I worked as a professional video editor for many years before founding Set To Hike A YouTube channel that exists to provide guidance and inspiration to other adventure seekers with a little quirk and a little humour. I showcase trails with a big focus on multi-day hiking and dispense pearls of dirt wisdom.

The Dream:

For the past 10 years I’ve dreamt of hiking in the United States of America. After booking flights in 2020 and losing them to the pandemic, I’ve finally re-booked this lifelong ambition for September 2025! The videos and films on Set To Hike are all entirely self funded, straight out of my own pocket. So i’m seeking your contributions to help fund the multiple USA videos that I’ll be creating.

I’m asking for $1:

A gold coin donation as we like to say here. I believe in collective power. If enough people chip in just a tiny amount, together we can make some meaningful work float to the surface.

How Your Contribution Helps:

You can see your $1 going towards covering filming logistics, like hike permits, parks passes, campsite fees ect.

OR

Covering the post production magic. Time spent editing, sound design, grading ect. Did I mention time spent editing?

OR

The unglamorous stuff that is often overlooked in the life of a creator. Software subscriptions, music licensing, gear maintenance, hard-drive storage/backup.

I can’t do this one alone:

I highly value long form video and creativity. I think it is so important now more than ever to maintain the humans ability to be creative. I’ve got some stories to tell and I want to bring you with me so that in turn, more people are grounded in the outdoors!

Other ways you can help:

Producer Credit:

Alongside my Patreons, any larger contributors will get a producer credit in this USA video series.

Whatever you can give, whether it’s $1 or just sharing this page. Together, we can see how far $1 can go. Thank you for being part of this dream!
