Want to document and share your hike with friends and family?
I've been on this weird little quest; to complete at least one backpacking trip every month this year. So far they've been short trips, but as the weather gets warmer I look forward to tackling some bigger challenges, including the Long Trail. I've been working away at making gear, learning everything I can, and getting in shape. It's not exactly preparation for any specific hike, it's more like my attempt to make hiking a lifestyle and not just recreation. I mean, what's the point of being hiker trash if it's only while you're on trail?
Hah, I agree! I love embracing being hikertrash in everyday life! Also, what gear are you making? You have any experience or are you teaching yourself as you go?
