Hiking and Backpacking with Ethan Gallogly
"I used to think it was impressive when I saw people posting pictures from a day hike up their difficult looking local mountain. But my expert todays makes those hikes look trivial and those mountains look like bunny slopes....Ethan is one of those guys you'd see with the funny backpacks doing way better than you on any given trail you decide to hike....he's out here hiking places like the John Muir Trail which takes a month to complete if you can even manage that long! He explains the not so secret secrets of an experienced backpacker, along with all of the most common beginner mistakes that I know I would certainly make myself.If you want a fantastic trek experience without all the discomfort, I also highly recommend "The Trail: a novel".
