I’ve been hiking, backpacking, and going on outdoor adventures for over 20 years and have written two backpacking guideboks. I also spent three years working in an outdoor store and seven years working at the head office of a big outdoor retailer, so I know lots about outdoor gear.
But I still remember what it was like to be beginner. Here is where I share all my outdoor adventure tips, tricks and recommendations.
