Thank you to everyone who has left nice comments and apologies. I appreciate it. I am sure you can imagine how confused I was waking up to this this morning. Thank you to everyone who has explained what happened to me as well, either with a comment here or through email. I originally thought my video or audio was used, but it sounds like it was a voice actor who happened to tell a story of an Appalachian Trail hiker who shares the first name as me (Hopwood is not my surname). I don't think I would be able to take any action against SEAB or Cambridge because, at the most, my videos inspired the story and my likeness was not used. I don't take the mean comments or threats personally and can understand how stressful and difficult exams are. I am sorry this particular voiceover that was similar to my story was difficult. I wish you all the best of luck on your future exams and maybe you'll see a Singapore travel vlog from me in the future!
Hello Singapore friends. I’m not even very clear on what exactly happened. I’m so sorry a similar experience to mine was used in your LC exam. I can assure you that wasn’t my voice in the voiceover and I had nothing to do with how hard your exam was. I hope you understand that I truly didn’t have anything to do with this. I’d love to visit Singapore at some point in the future so I hope you give me some grace and let me come! This was crazy to wake up to. I’ve deleted some of the mean comments.
I also want to clarify - Alicia Hopwood is not my real name. My first name is Alicia but Hopwood is not my surname. And I’m not the one who recorded the voiceover!
@@naan000 its just a coincidence. Alicia is a rly common name and there's literally nothing u can sue about. This alicia doesnt own the name alicia and also doesnt own "the experience on going on one particular trail". Its just a coincidence 😁😁
@AliciaintheMountains seems to me that it just happened to be a really unfortunate coincidence, that things turned out this way is a really silly outcome

Hey Alicia, I'm a Singaporean student who took the Listening Comprehension exam you were featured in today. Please don't take the hateful comments to heart, I apologise on behalf of all Singaporean sec 4s/10th graders 😭🙏🙏
Hi Alicia, If you are bewildered by the numerous conmments hating on what you do, please ignore them. We just took our ‘O’ Level examinations, which is a national exam taken at Secondary 4/Grade 10. Unfortunately, you were featured in the listening comprehension exam in the section where we had to fill in the blanks. Numerous students found this difficult, and thus are taking out their rage on your channel. Please do not take it to heart. I encourage you to keep going in your profession.

As a content creator from Singapore, can I urge students to PLEASE stop leaving negative comments on Alicia's channel.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, my country's O level English Listening Comprehension students mistook you for the person who made the complicated voiceover during the exam. Just because your name is Alicia and you went to the same place that was shared during the exam. Ignore the hate comments and keep doing what you love. Treat yourself with a drink using the money. Cheers!
Sorry for the negative that we singapore student have broughtht you.I really hope the examination board can contact you and compensate you after all this has happen.As a candidate for the exam today,it was hard due to the harsh weather too but some of us definitely have took it too far as to spread hate to you when you did nothing.You have definitely inspired SEAB and all of us but I really hope you gey compensste for it.Cheers and have a nice day ❤
Hello, Miss Alicia. Please don't be concerned with the hundreds of comments flooding in from a mob of aggrieved students. They are simply airing their grievances out to the wrong person, and you should pay them no mind. Please take care of yourself and your health on your hikes, Miss!
@@weluvhafsa, I'm afraid the stress of this examination have made us quite an irrational bunch ;;; I hope that Miss Alicia will take the necessary steps to remove or distance herself from the inflow of such comments and continue to enjoy her life.
hi alicia I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m so sorry for whatever happened with all the O level students. it’s not your fault that something similar to your story was used for our exam, and those negative comments should never have been made. even if it was just for jokes and sarcasm, and if they didn’t mean what they said, it still doesn’t justify them taking it out on you for something you couldn’t control. in fact, they shouldn’t even be mad at you, but at the voiceover instead. from your perspective of someone who had no idea of what was going on, it must’ve been so confusing to suddenly have your comments section flooded by a bunch of frustrated students. truly am sorry for this unfortunate situation. hope you can forgive us for this misunderstanding, and wish us luck for the remaining exams we have left. on the bright side, you seem like a genuinely nice lady with a big heart. your love for nature is admirable and your passion for doing the things you love is definitely something to be proud of. your story is very inspiring and I hope more people get to see just how amazing you are 🩷. hope you get to explore more of the world! you’re more than welcome to visit Singapore if you’d like :) wishing you the safest of travels and the best of luck. xx
Hi Alicia, just wanted to let you know incase you are confused about the influx of comments about LC. LC stands for listening comprehension. It is one part of our english examination. In one part of the exam, there was a "Alicia hopwood" that talked about the Appalaician trail. That section was particularly difficult. Hence, why you may be receiving more negative comments or queries about taking the trail from south to north. Thank you for sharing your gear list. I think it was helpful for the hikers. Have a nice day.
i cant believe how disgusting this whole comment section is, after the english listening comprehension we had today. this is a real person, and i would think that we have enough moral compass as a cohort to not act so vile towards someone who was not even the speaker in the exam. as a fellow singaporean who took the exam today and has the decency to not act out towards this sweet woman, i hope that you will all come to your senses and realise just how cruel you are. get a journal and rant in it instead of taking your frustration out on alicia. she has done no wrong to you. you have done wrong to her by being this evil. grow up.
this is all seab's fault lah, i actually appreciate this effort that you put in and seab just decided to take it, and I can confidently say I managed to get most answers for that section in the o level lc lol, but here is the start of the rest of the papers, so im WISHING EVERY SEC 4 IN SINGAPORE GOOD LUCK AND ACHIEVE A1s!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU ALL 🙏 im rly nervous for it too but just GIVE IT YOUR BEST!
I find it so funny that SG students are assuming that 1. This is the same Alicia heard in LC(voice is completely different) 2. This is directly lifted from the videos(SEAB won’t copy and paste from video to paper) 3. That threatening this poor Alicia changes anything
Hi, Alicia. I'm a student from Singapore, and I love your videos. Keep doing what you're doing. I know some of us may feel frustrated by the LC section, but let's not hate on a random woman for simply showcasing her hobbies. Love from Singapore. 🇸🇬❤
Hi, I came to apologize even though I am not a student nor a parent of 1. While I understand the anxiety of the students having gone through the exams and life, I do feel embarrassed with the immaturity of our students. Really thank you for being so understanding. :)
Hi Alicia. I hope you know all the people who left such horrid comments on this video do not resonate with the way most of us are thinking. There is little to no empathy or critical thinking going on in the comments that are saying mean things to you. However, and im sure im not speaking just for myself, you have a lot of supporters here as well that truly think you’re a wonderful woman who is following her passions for hiking, and we respect that. You had nothing to do with the examination and i hope people get the hint to not take this even further by continuing to spam hate. We love you Alicia and i promise that if you do decide to come to Singapore, we’ll treat you to hot pot and show you all the kindness you deserve
Im so sorry you got attacked by some of us today, you did not deserve it. I believe that some of us may have just been too stressed out by the exam and acted on impulse by lashing out at you. I'm sure that they meant no harm and i hope that you dont take it to heart! Great video by the way. Sending love from Singapore ❤
as someone who took the olevel examinations today, i hope that you won’t feel too bad about all the people that are sending hate 🫶 you’re definitely welcomed anytime here in singapore and im sorry for all the unnecessary hate you are having to endure and i hope you have many more wonderful days and have many more fun hiking trips ❤❤❤ your videos are amazing and i hope this won’t discourage you from continuing
Wait I came here to see what the fuss is all about but all I see is apologies and love for Alicia. Glad you got noticed by so many from the other part of the world our news outlets are reporting this is too funny. Ps: nice layout of your stuff! Happy weekend all!
To Alicia, I hope you had a nice hike on the Appalachian Trail. Please forgive these sec 4/10th graders from Singapore because a topic of this came out for one of our papers and it was a pure coincidence that your name was used. May you continue to inspire others to attempt their hike on the Appalachian trail through your content
Oh my god, as a former student from Singapore that has taken the listening comprehension before. I am so sorry for the hate you've received over something that isn't your fault at all. I don't understand how they couldn't tell that it's fictional and decided to take it out on someone that had nothing to do with this, I'm sure it was an awful coincidence and I'm so sorry you had to endure this. Please don't let them get to you and take care of yourself!! I hope you enjoyed the Appalachian trail, I've always wanted to experience hiking lol
Hi Alicia! I am a 10th Grader from Singapore and I would like to say that I respect what you do. As a fellow hiker, I really enjoy this community as it is quite a rather unique sport in my opinion. One day when I am older, I would also like to try out the Appalachian Trail just like you did! Sorry for all of the hate comments coming from my Singaporean peers as our National Listening Comprehension examination was rather challenging
NAHHH, yall buggin fr. her story in the listening comprehension was not THAT hard. we should be bullying whoever made the last part about stones with only 1 recording. I support cyberbullying, but yall bullying the wrong person
Alicia please don't listen to all the hate it's not your fault!! please keep posting more about your hiking, don't feel detered by the unnecessary hate comments directed to you. it's not your fault and you should not have been bashed so heavily for it. your content is really great and interesting, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. KEEP GOING QUEEN ILY 💜💜
Helloo, im an olevel student and wtv ppl are spamming in comment section is not actual hate, just sarcasm so dont take it srsly. Anyways, the voiceover for lc was terrible
Yes, a lot of ppl couldn't hear clothes-drying facilities n wrote clothes hanging n so-on. Most of us were just salty bcs the pronunciation was masked n decipherable. My peers even wrote mandatory permits or travel out of genuine conf.
Alicia, please don’t listen to all the hate comments you’re getting right now! none of this is your fault and it’s jsut because all us students had a terrible Listening Comprehension exam today, and it just was a coincidence that your name was used as a hiker persona as well! your videos are so helpful and useful and don’t let that get you down from what you truly enjoy!!!! to all of you commenters, please don’t attack this lady when it is not her fault whatsoever. what we can all do as a batch is to strive for our next papers and not dwell on whatever horrible paper we had today
Alicia i understand this is very confusing here is an explanation: we’re a bunch of 16-17 ish year olds who just took a listening comprehension paper to a very important exam in singapore, and you are featured on it on a hard section, hence the protests. we promise we mean no harm and hope you take this as a funny story that happened once. pls do not delete our comments too soon as we require the comforts of our own idiocy in this trying time… think of it as boosting the algorithm!! :) thank you very much, and enjoy your adventures!
Although not a nice experience to be receiving some nasty comments, I hope this have helped created awareness for your channel, and keep sharing stuff you’re passionate about! Wish we get to hike in the mountains, but nope, not in Singapore 😂 (someone told me about this O level saga and I came to be a busybody)
your story was used in a listening exam in singapore. it's definitely not your fault but the person who read the script was ridiculously fast and the exam was a nightmare. no hate though, of course
Hi Alicia! I'm so sorry about all the venomous comments, they're not reflective of Singapore and Singaporeans as a whole. As a Singaporean student who also took this LC today, it was really interesting to hear about! Hiking this trail seems really interesting :)
I came across this channel because of the English LC drama that has been going on. I am so sorry for those hurtful comments and don’t let that demoralise you in creating the content you loved!
Sorry to hear what has happened. For some context, for Singaporean kids in that age range this exam mean the world to them because the education system is very specifically designed to be that way - it is effectively the only viable means of social mobility in the country. It is not dissimilar to the 'GaoKao' in China. After many years and despite talk of educational reform it is not encouraging to hear that the system is still putting students through the grinder. The other context I would mention is that Singapore kids would find camping or hiking a very foreign concept if they had never had an experience overseas or joined scouts or girl guides because Singapore is more or less an urban concrete jungle. In fact, my own personal experience with camping was only when I stumbled across a Kathmandu store Down Under and found lots of interesting gear. I hope that your Appalachian trip has gone well! Unfortunately the tallest hill we have in Singapore is Bukit Timah Hill at only 164m.
Alicia I hope you know that Cambridge has used your name and your experience of the Appalachian Trail in a national exam for a large cohort of Singaporean students. I am unsure if you gave your consent or not but if you have not I hope you take serious action against Cambridge. Sorry for the harsh slander 🙏
I did not and I have no idea what is happening. I can only assume whatever voiceover was used on my video for your exam wasn’t actually what I even said based on what some of these comments refer to.
@@AliciaintheMountainsit was an audio where the narrator’s name was also Alicia and it was about the Appalachian trails. Just an unfortunate coincidence really, if anything.
@@AliciaintheMountainsI skimmed through your vid jn and in my opinion idt there is any part that was taken from your video snd put in our LC but I may be wrong bcuz I am not sure either as by now I forgot was rly was said in the LC. But for confirmation I hope u do report this situation against Cambridge so that it is fair for everyone🙏
I came across an article and I am so sorry for my country's teenagers! They were being unfairly rude to you. Please keep up the good work on sharing what to bring for a trail hike!
As a Singaporean student taking O's Level, i apologise on everyone's behalf. Tbh, i kind of want to explore that trail as well after learning about it. Pls don't take it to heart ❤
Hey Alicia, I came across the news of what happened to you, and I just want to apologise for the horrible students who sent you those nasty, atrocious comments. I'm not a part of the cohort who took the exam, but I am appalled by what my fellow students have done. Being a student myself, of course I understand the stress of dealing with difficult examinations, but that is in no way a justification for attacking an innocent person online. I think you're so strong and patient for dealing with the hate comments with an empathetic lens, and I respect you so much for that! ❤ But really, you don't have to apologise for anything. You did nothing wrong! Those commenters should be the one apologising to you! And in case they haven't done that yet, let me be the one to apologise because you truly, truly don't deserve any of this ❤. Don't let these immature comments bring you down, keep being you! Please take care of yourself, okay? ❤
To be fair i shouldve just watched this video first before going for the lc examination. Some things covered in this video were covered in the lc as well 😭
i'm honestly really glad to see the nice, sincere comments on here but also damn shocked by the number of disgusting hateful comments left on here. i expected that 16-17 year old sec 4s n 5s would have a certain level of social morality to think twice and not do this kind of shit on somebody's channel after the listening compre exam ends. and let people on the internet have a bad impression of singaporeans... it's v shameful. as a singaporean i want to apologize on behalf of all the o' lvl students who left hateful comments on this channel :/ even if they didn't mean what they said or js left a casual hate remark as a meme or jumping on the bandwagon it doesnt justify the hate and frustrations against alicia who has nth to do w the exams and the LC passage... she is not cambridge, she is not seab.
As a Singaporean student who also just took the O-Level LC, Please dont be dishearted by all the hate coments! Personally I find the part that everyone else is complaining about the easiest in the paper, but again don't take the mean comments to heart as this dosen't represent all of us Singaporeans. Please feel welcome to come visit and keep up the good content! :D
to dearest alicia, i sincerely apologise for acting upon my impulsive thoughts. i was just really upset about the paper and like the loser i am i always project my anger onto other things/people. i dont want your impression of singapore to be undermined because of this. let me know when you’re coming to singapore and i will belanja u nasi lemak.
My LighterPack (link in description) has some prices listed but some of it is geared I used on my 2022 attempt so it’s been accumulated since 2021 or so. It’s definitely probably upwards of $3-4k though if I had to conjure a guess. Keep in mind a lot of this is higher end UL stuff and you can definitely do it for cheaper if you’re willing to sacrifice some weight.
There is a truhiker called quadzilla who is currently on day 6-7 of his AT truhike with a total budget of 1k (minus the shoes I believe). Might be worth it to check out his video for some tips and tricks. He is certainly no beginner either.
Yes! I watched his video about it and I’m fascinated. The gear he got seems pretty legit too. Definitely shows it’s doable on most any budget which is awesome!
@@AliciaintheMountains for sure! I think he didn't show a lot of the small stuff that you would usually take. That adds up too. But the big ticket items can be cheaper than you'd think. Great video by the way! Excited for you, will follow your journey if you upload videos. Will hopefully do NOBO in 2025 myself, only disaster will stop me ;)
As a sec 4 student myself, we always wish death upon the fictional characters that give us headaches during the exam. It's something we always do and has been mostly harmless since, you know, the characters are fictional. However, we DO NOT wish death upon actual people. I'm surprised people even searched this up. I was only alerted to this video by a friend. You seem like a nice person, and you definitely didn’t deserve the hate. I'm really sorry this happened to you.
Hi, from Singapore, you don't need apology, it is not your fault, I don't understand why they confuse your voice to the exam voice. If you come to Singapore, you can go MacRitchie Reservoir or Bukit Timah Hill for hiking.
Hi Alicia! I’m so sorry that so many emotionally immature students are taking out their frustrations on you, you don’t deserve this at all. Love your videos and the content! Wishing you all the best
As a sg student, I sincerely apologise for the hate comments. We’re supposed to be better than this, but apparently not…I actually quite enjoyed “your” section in the exam, i thought it was quite fun bc I love outdoors stuff. Anyway, feel free to go ahead and sue Cambridge for using your name and stuff without permission
This actually damn funny sia, might become a running gag every year where SG students go hunt down different people featured in LC exams xD personally for me i am aiming for lowest 21/30... but then against lc is just 10% so let's just GO BEYOND for the next english papers and to alicia JUST TREAT THIS AS A JOKE
Actually it’s literally not her fault, totally not, it’s not even her voice in the recording and someone did the voiceover with that crazy speed, mumbling. I don’t understand why people are commenting under this video with all the hatred towards her. That’s actually quite funny and rude😮
Love love love your kit. Very solid kit in my opinion. Very well done. Are you spraying everything down with Permethrin before you hit the trail? I missed you saying that if you did (Sorry). Long time viewer of your channel. Ready to watch your journey! Thanks!
So organized and we have a lot of the same gear. Very excited for your journey which seems to have creeped up quickly. I’m with you about undies. I always carry extra. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
oh my god im from singapore and i apologise on behalf of the hate that u have been receiving it isnt actually hate its just that the students were so mad about the difficult listening comprehension that was taken with inspiration from your video and not you as a person or anything. best of luck and i apologise on behalf of all the angry students out there
Looks like a solid kit! That nitecore power bank is sooo light - but be prepared for a long recharge time. Only 18w going in I believe… that’s around 5.5 hours at a restaurant stop. Anker makes a 20000 that recharges at 65w = 1.5 hours. It’s heavier but the convenience is outta this world 😊 (A1383 I believe)

Hello, Miss Alicia. Please don't be concerned with the hundreds of comments flooding in from a mob of aggrieved students. They are simply airing their grievances out to the wrong person, and you should pay them no mind. Please take care of yourself and your health on your hikes, Miss!
thank you for being so thoughtful and leaving this comment. gives me hope that there are mature 16 year olds
@@weluvhafsa, I'm afraid the stress of this examination have made us quite an irrational bunch ;;; I hope that Miss Alicia will take the necessary steps to remove or distance herself from the inflow of such comments and continue to enjoy her life.
hi alicia
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m so sorry for whatever happened with all the O level students. it’s not your fault that something similar to your story was used for our exam, and those negative comments should never have been made. even if it was just for jokes and sarcasm, and if they didn’t mean what they said, it still doesn’t justify them taking it out on you for something you couldn’t control. in fact, they shouldn’t even be mad at you, but at the voiceover instead. from your perspective of someone who had no idea of what was going on, it must’ve been so confusing to suddenly have your comments section flooded by a bunch of frustrated students. truly am sorry for this unfortunate situation. hope you can forgive us for this misunderstanding, and wish us luck for the remaining exams we have left.
on the bright side, you seem like a genuinely nice lady with a big heart. your love for nature is admirable and your passion for doing the things you love is definitely something to be proud of. your story is very inspiring and I hope more people get to see just how amazing you are 🩷. hope you get to explore more of the world! you’re more than welcome to visit Singapore if you’d like :) wishing you the safest of travels and the best of luck. xx
Hi Alicia, just wanted to let you know incase you are confused about the influx of comments about LC. LC stands for listening comprehension. It is one part of our english examination. In one part of the exam, there was a "Alicia hopwood" that talked about the Appalaician trail. That section was particularly difficult. Hence, why you may be receiving more negative comments or queries about taking the trail from south to north. Thank you for sharing your gear list. I think it was helpful for the hikers. Have a nice day.
To the students, please please please do not attack Alicia. She had no part in the creation of the LC and is innocent.
please sue cambridge so we can take a retest 😭🙏🏻
i cant believe how disgusting this whole comment section is, after the english listening comprehension we had today. this is a real person, and i would think that we have enough moral compass as a cohort to not act so vile towards someone who was not even the speaker in the exam. as a fellow singaporean who took the exam today and has the decency to not act out towards this sweet woman, i hope that you will all come to your senses and realise just how cruel you are. get a journal and rant in it instead of taking your frustration out on alicia.
she has done no wrong to you. you have done wrong to her by being this evil. grow up.
thank you sm for this comment, I agree with you a hundred percent. so disappointed
IKR, why they be hating
you are so right
this is all seab's fault lah, i actually appreciate this effort that you put in and seab just decided to take it, and I can confidently say I managed to get most answers for that section in the o level lc lol, but here is the start of the rest of the papers, so im WISHING EVERY SEC 4 IN SINGAPORE GOOD LUCK AND ACHIEVE A1s!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU ALL 🙏
im rly nervous for it too but just GIVE IT YOUR BEST!
I find it so funny that SG students are assuming that
1. This is the same Alicia heard in LC(voice is completely different)
2. This is directly lifted from the videos(SEAB won’t copy and paste from video to paper)
3. That threatening this poor Alicia changes anything
Hi, Alicia. I'm a student from Singapore, and I love your videos. Keep doing what you're doing.
I know some of us may feel frustrated by the LC section, but let's not hate on a random woman for simply showcasing her hobbies.
Love from Singapore. 🇸🇬❤
u guys know she didnt set the paper right
Hi, I came to apologize even though I am not a student nor a parent of 1. While I understand the anxiety of the students having gone through the exams and life, I do feel embarrassed with the immaturity of our students. Really thank you for being so understanding. :)
Were you from Reddit like me lol
@@lemon2524 Hi, No, I saw a post on Mothership.
My sister shared to me her LC exam story so i am curious and now i am inspired to trail. 10/10 would recommend
she’s gonna be damn confused why a shit ton of o level students commenting here💀
I find it so hilarious they blaming some innocent
please please don't be discouraged by the comments, keep up the good work
leave the poor lady alone blame Cambridge for their horrible voiceover
Hi Alicia. I hope you know all the people who left such horrid comments on this video do not resonate with the way most of us are thinking. There is little to no empathy or critical thinking going on in the comments that are saying mean things to you. However, and im sure im not speaking just for myself, you have a lot of supporters here as well that truly think you’re a wonderful woman who is following her passions for hiking, and we respect that. You had nothing to do with the examination and i hope people get the hint to not take this even further by continuing to spam hate. We love you Alicia and i promise that if you do decide to come to Singapore, we’ll treat you to hot pot and show you all the kindness you deserve
Im so sorry you got attacked by some of us today, you did not deserve it. I believe that some of us may have just been too stressed out by the exam and acted on impulse by lashing out at you. I'm sure that they meant no harm and i hope that you dont take it to heart! Great video by the way. Sending love from Singapore ❤
alicia u can redeem yrself by filing a lawsuit against Cambridge for using ur content without consent
What do you mean "redeeming yrself" as if she did anything wrong that required some form of redemption in the first place??
yes pls this time i will write in pen 🤣🤣🤣
My english cher says cannot cause it is for education purpose
i hope you’re doing well and don’t let these negative comments affect you!! i really like ur content and i hope u can continue enjoying hiking ❤️❤️
@@byyhaley agreed !! sendin love ❤️
as someone who took the olevel examinations today, i hope that you won’t feel too bad about all the people that are sending hate 🫶 you’re definitely welcomed anytime here in singapore and im sorry for all the unnecessary hate you are having to endure and i hope you have many more wonderful days and have many more fun hiking trips ❤❤❤ your videos are amazing and i hope this won’t discourage you from continuing
Wait I came here to see what the fuss is all about but all I see is apologies and love for Alicia.
Glad you got noticed by so many from the other part of the world our news outlets are reporting this is too funny.
Ps: nice layout of your stuff!
Happy weekend all!
To Alicia, I hope you had a nice hike on the Appalachian Trail. Please forgive these sec 4/10th graders from Singapore because a topic of this came out for one of our papers and it was a pure coincidence that your name was used. May you continue to inspire others to attempt their hike on the Appalachian trail through your content
Oh my god, as a former student from Singapore that has taken the listening comprehension before. I am so sorry for the hate you've received over something that isn't your fault at all.
I don't understand how they couldn't tell that it's fictional and decided to take it out on someone that had nothing to do with this, I'm sure it was an awful coincidence and I'm so sorry you had to endure this.
Please don't let them get to you and take care of yourself!! I hope you enjoyed the Appalachian trail, I've always wanted to experience hiking lol
Hi Alicia! I am a 10th Grader from Singapore and I would like to say that I respect what you do. As a fellow hiker, I really enjoy this community as it is quite a rather unique sport in my opinion. One day when I am older, I would also like to try out the Appalachian Trail just like you did! Sorry for all of the hate comments coming from my Singaporean peers as our National Listening Comprehension examination was rather challenging
@@pigeonkwm just say sec 4 can liao
NAHHH, yall buggin fr. her story in the listening comprehension was not THAT hard. we should be bullying whoever made the last part about stones with only 1 recording. I support cyberbullying, but yall bullying the wrong person
FRRR DID U PUT ELEPHANT OR BASKETBALL
@@duckyrikii nah i gave up on that part, actual BS. i but from basketball to baseball for the size vary and human for the avg 💀
@@DaFruit wasnt it tennis ball tho lmao

Alicia please don't listen to all the hate it's not your fault!! please keep posting more about your hiking, don't feel detered by the unnecessary hate comments directed to you. it's not your fault and you should not have been bashed so heavily for it. your content is really great and interesting, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. KEEP GOING QUEEN ILY 💜💜
Helloo, im an olevel student and wtv ppl are spamming in comment section is not actual hate, just sarcasm so dont take it srsly. Anyways, the voiceover for lc was terrible
Yes, a lot of ppl couldn't hear clothes-drying facilities n wrote clothes hanging n so-on. Most of us were just salty bcs the pronunciation was masked n decipherable. My peers even wrote mandatory permits or travel out of genuine conf.
@@kamedasakata1027 agreed, they should have at least gotten btr mic, Goodluck for ur elect exams tmr
Alicia, please don’t listen to all the hate comments you’re getting right now! none of this is your fault and it’s jsut because all us students had a terrible Listening Comprehension exam today, and it just was a coincidence that your name was used as a hiker persona as well! your videos are so helpful and useful and don’t let that get you down from what you truly enjoy!!!!
to all of you commenters, please don’t attack this lady when it is not her fault whatsoever. what we can all do as a batch is to strive for our next papers and not dwell on whatever horrible paper we had today
Alicia i understand this is very confusing here is an explanation:
we’re a bunch of 16-17 ish year olds who just took a listening comprehension paper to a very important exam in singapore, and you are featured on it on a hard section, hence the protests.
we promise we mean no harm and hope you take this as a funny story that happened once. pls do not delete our comments too soon as we require the comforts of our own idiocy in this trying time… think of it as boosting the algorithm!! :) thank you very much, and enjoy your adventures!
alicia would u consider coming to singapore, 25k students are looking forward to ur arrival❤❤❤
Although not a nice experience to be receiving some nasty comments, I hope this have helped created awareness for your channel, and keep sharing stuff you’re passionate about! Wish we get to hike in the mountains, but nope, not in Singapore 😂 (someone told me about this O level saga and I came to be a busybody)
bro, yall need to check your brains for lashing out at this woman without thinking.
Womp womp
@@allahisaniager What is ur name dawg
your story was used in a listening exam in singapore. it's definitely not your fault but the person who read the script was ridiculously fast and the exam was a nightmare. no hate though, of course
I am so sorry that you had to go through this chaos, Alicia. On behalf of my batch of fellow students, I am sorry
Thanks for the tour! I hope you have a great hike!
Hi Alicia! I'm so sorry about all the venomous comments, they're not reflective of Singapore and Singaporeans as a whole. As a Singaporean student who also took this LC today, it was really interesting to hear about! Hiking this trail seems really interesting :)
I came across this channel because of the English LC drama that has been going on. I am so sorry for those hurtful comments and don’t let that demoralise you in creating the content you loved!
Sorry to hear what has happened. For some context, for Singaporean kids in that age range this exam mean the world to them because the education system is very specifically designed to be that way - it is effectively the only viable means of social mobility in the country. It is not dissimilar to the 'GaoKao' in China. After many years and despite talk of educational reform it is not encouraging to hear that the system is still putting students through the grinder. The other context I would mention is that Singapore kids would find camping or hiking a very foreign concept if they had never had an experience overseas or joined scouts or girl guides because Singapore is more or less an urban concrete jungle. In fact, my own personal experience with camping was only when I stumbled across a Kathmandu store Down Under and found lots of interesting gear. I hope that your Appalachian trip has gone well! Unfortunately the tallest hill we have in Singapore is Bukit Timah Hill at only 164m.
Alicia I hope you know that Cambridge has used your name and your experience of the Appalachian Trail in a national exam for a large cohort of Singaporean students.
I am unsure if you gave your consent or not but if you have not I hope you take serious action against Cambridge.
Sorry for the harsh slander 🙏
I did not and I have no idea what is happening. I can only assume whatever voiceover was used on my video for your exam wasn’t actually what I even said based on what some of these comments refer to.
@@AliciaintheMountains consider legal actions against seab
@@AliciaintheMountains
@@AliciaintheMountainsit was an audio where the narrator’s name was also Alicia and it was about the Appalachian trails. Just an unfortunate coincidence really, if anything.
@@AliciaintheMountainsI skimmed through your vid jn and in my opinion idt there is any part that was taken from your video snd put in our LC but I may be wrong bcuz I am not sure either as by now I forgot was rly was said in the LC. But for confirmation I hope u do report this situation against Cambridge so that it is fair for everyone🙏
I’m giving you a thumbs up for the video as a show of support😊
GUYS THE PASSAGE WAS WORTH 8/30 MARKS ITS LITERALLY WORTH 3 PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL GRADE
I came across an article and I am so sorry for my country's teenagers! They were being unfairly rude to you. Please keep up the good work on sharing what to bring for a trail hike!
As a Singaporean student taking O's Level, i apologise on everyone's behalf. Tbh, i kind of want to explore that trail as well after learning about it.
Pls don't take it to heart ❤
Im curious so what was the LC about ?
@jianxiongRaven Part 3 was based on an excerpt from one of her videos I think?
Hey Alicia, I came across the news of what happened to you, and I just want to apologise for the horrible students who sent you those nasty, atrocious comments. I'm not a part of the cohort who took the exam, but I am appalled by what my fellow students have done. Being a student myself, of course I understand the stress of dealing with difficult examinations, but that is in no way a justification for attacking an innocent person online. I think you're so strong and patient for dealing with the hate comments with an empathetic lens, and I respect you so much for that! ❤ But really, you don't have to apologise for anything. You did nothing wrong! Those commenters should be the one apologising to you! And in case they haven't done that yet, let me be the one to apologise because you truly, truly don't deserve any of this ❤. Don't let these immature comments bring you down, keep being you! Please take care of yourself, okay? ❤
To be fair i shouldve just watched this video first before going for the lc examination. Some things covered in this video were covered in the lc as well 😭
hello my dear friend
Everyone out here hating on her but how the f did yall find this account OMGGGG we are scary AF
i'm honestly really glad to see the nice, sincere comments on here but also damn shocked by the number of disgusting hateful comments left on here. i expected that 16-17 year old sec 4s n 5s would have a certain level of social morality to think twice and not do this kind of shit on somebody's channel after the listening compre exam ends. and let people on the internet have a bad impression of singaporeans... it's v shameful. as a singaporean i want to apologize on behalf of all the o' lvl students who left hateful comments on this channel :/
even if they didn't mean what they said or js left a casual hate remark as a meme or jumping on the bandwagon it doesnt justify the hate and frustrations against alicia who has nth to do w the exams and the LC passage... she is not cambridge, she is not seab.
As a Singaporean student who also just took the O-Level LC, Please dont be dishearted by all the hate coments! Personally I find the part that everyone else is complaining about the easiest in the paper, but again don't take the mean comments to heart as this dosen't represent all of us Singaporeans. Please feel welcome to come visit and keep up the good content! :D
to dearest alicia, i sincerely apologise for acting upon my impulsive thoughts. i was just really upset about the paper and like the loser i am i always project my anger onto other things/people. i dont want your impression of singapore to be undermined because of this. let me know when you’re coming to singapore and i will belanja u nasi lemak.
We love you Alicia. Ignore the haters. If you ever come to Singapore, you will love our hiking trails, especially on Pulau Ubin.
How much was all that gear in the layout ? Just trying to figure out a budget kit. Thanks so much.
My LighterPack (link in description) has some prices listed but some of it is geared I used on my 2022 attempt so it’s been accumulated since 2021 or so. It’s definitely probably upwards of $3-4k though if I had to conjure a guess. Keep in mind a lot of this is higher end UL stuff and you can definitely do it for cheaper if you’re willing to sacrifice some weight.
There is a truhiker called quadzilla who is currently on day 6-7 of his AT truhike with a total budget of 1k (minus the shoes I believe). Might be worth it to check out his video for some tips and tricks. He is certainly no beginner either.
Yes! I watched his video about it and I’m fascinated. The gear he got seems pretty legit too. Definitely shows it’s doable on most any budget which is awesome!
@@AliciaintheMountains for sure! I think he didn't show a lot of the small stuff that you would usually take. That adds up too. But the big ticket items can be cheaper than you'd think.
Great video by the way! Excited for you, will follow your journey if you upload videos. Will hopefully do NOBO in 2025 myself, only disaster will stop me ;)
@@AliciaintheMountainsWait so budgeting is the correct answer?
As a sec 4 student myself, we always wish death upon the fictional characters that give us headaches during the exam. It's something we always do and has been mostly harmless since, you know, the characters are fictional.
However, we DO NOT wish death upon actual people. I'm surprised people even searched this up. I was only alerted to this video by a friend. You seem like a nice person, and you definitely didn’t deserve the hate. I'm really sorry this happened to you.
Hi, from Singapore, you don't need apology, it is not your fault, I don't understand why they confuse your voice to the exam voice. If you come to Singapore, you can go MacRitchie Reservoir or Bukit Timah Hill for hiking.
Good luck Alicia. We met in 2022 going NOBO in Georgia. I wish you the best.
Hi Alicia! I’m so sorry that so many emotionally immature students are taking out their frustrations on you, you don’t deserve this at all. Love your videos and the content! Wishing you all the best
pls ignore all the negative comments alicia! you don’t need to apologise at all ❤ you are not at fault in any way 🙏
❤️ from SG. Ignore all the hate comments.
As a sg student, I sincerely apologise for the hate comments. We’re supposed to be better than this, but apparently not…I actually quite enjoyed “your” section in the exam, i thought it was quite fun bc I love outdoors stuff. Anyway, feel free to go ahead and sue Cambridge for using your name and stuff without permission
This actually damn funny sia, might become a running gag every year where SG students go hunt down different people featured in LC exams xD
personally for me i am aiming for lowest 21/30... but then against lc is just 10% so let's just GO BEYOND for the next english papers
and to alicia JUST TREAT THIS AS A JOKE
Actually it’s literally not her fault, totally not, it’s not even her voice in the recording and someone did the voiceover with that crazy speed, mumbling. I don’t understand why people are commenting under this video with all the hatred towards her. That’s actually quite funny and rude😮
Love love love your kit. Very solid kit in my opinion. Very well done. Are you spraying everything down with Permethrin before you hit the trail? I missed you saying that if you did (Sorry). Long time viewer of your channel. Ready to watch your journey! Thanks!
Yes I am spraying all my clothes and shoes with Permethrin once more so I have a fresh application! I generally don’t spray my gear (tent, pack, etc).
Hi Alicia, what would your total pack weight be?
I didn’t measure a true base weight but with 5 days’ food, it was 25 lbs

Nice setup, I hope it works well through the 100 mile. 👊
