Tips for Safe Hiking Adventures

How to be a good hiker 👇🏻 (Save this post for your next hiking adventure and share it with your hiking buddy!) Put one foot in front of the other and follow the trail 🥾 It’s honestly that simple! What you actually need to prepare for is safety in the outdoors. There is a base of knowledge about being safe in the outdoors but each trail comes with different challenges so you have to be prepared. Which is one of the principles of leave no trace! (I have a guide up on Leave No Trace if you don’t know what that is) Research the difficulties of each trail before starting your trek and prepare accordingly! Hiking isn’t about the matching sets, bright puffer, or the most expensive hiking boots. It is something different for everyone and that’s what is so cool about it! Just because you don’t have those $200 hiking poles or wear the same jacket on every hike (Yes, I am an outfit repeater and I’m proud of it!) doesn’t mean you’re a bad hiker. Is there anything about hiking that intimidates you? Let’s talk about it 👇🏻 📸 photographed with @sonyalpha A7II and @tamronusa 28-200mm edited using @lightroom
