Great Backpacking and Hiking Website



thehikinglife.com is an incredible resource for all hikers and backpackers. A lot of tips on best trips, gear, etc.

Several years ago, Cam was a guest speaker at the Iron Horse district dinner and shared stories and pics of his hike across North America. I highly advise that all interested people sign up for his blog.

12 Long Walks
An overview of my 545 day hiking trip through the wilds of North America………12 Walks, 14,302 miles (23,012 km), 29 US states, 4 Canadian Provinces and 28 pairs of shoes!
During the course of the 12 Long Walks, I set records for most miles hiked in a calendar year (10,204 in 2012), fastest completion of a calendar year Triple Crown (PCT, CDT and AT in 236 days) and most dehydrated beans consumed in an 18 month period (123.7 lbs)!
