Hello everyone 👋🏻

Just wanted to introduce ourselves. Just a couple of guys that started hiking. We talk about it so much we started a podcast. Hoping to inspire new people to get into backpacking.

Give us a listen if you want to learn how to get started.
So excited that the weather is getting warmer! Can’t wait to get back out on the #hiking #trails again this year. Any beginners trying hiking or backpacking for the first time this year?
