The Green Hiker

Obviously, with all our family outdoor activity, there’s been little time to update this blog in a consistent manner.

But with summer behind and cool, colorful Fall ahead, our plans are set for reinvigorating this journal.

Each month we’ll embark on a virtual hike along a different trail. Maps, photos and highlights. And, of course, our slant remains greener footprints.

You can expect more hiking gear reviews, safe hiking tips, and environmental news affecting outdoor hiking, backpacking and camping venues.

Now Go Outdoors!

Are you a dedicated green hiker or backpacker looking for additional eco-friendly info and insights?

One place to start is Backpacker Magazine’s Green Guide. This compilation places a link list under three categories:  Featured Stories, Nature, and Gear.

So … here comes Super Poison Ivy? (Under the “Nature” category.)

Now Go Outdoors!

Survival strategies and gear you’ll need when lost or injured on the trail. These outdoor survival basics insure your hiking, backpacking, and camping adventures will always be enjoyable and safe.
