Unlike AI results from Google and ChatGPT, these guides are personally written by me with care to ensure your safety on the trails. Every piece of gear I recommend is something I trust and use myself. As a professional hiking guide, I share advice I’d tell my own friends and family. If you like to hike, stay connected through my monthly newsletter by signing up for free on Patreon.
