Every guide here comes from a trail we walked ourselves: me with Wingo the trail dog and a 7 kg pack, my partner Jonatan on the American monsters.

Why listen to us?
Between us we've walked 13,000+ kilometres of long-distance trail. I hiked the Fisherman's Trail, 850 km solo across the Pyrenees on the GR11, the GR131s and Waitukubuli through Dominica's jungle, most of it with our dog Wingo and a pack under 7 kg. And I don't fly: I reach every trailhead by sailboat, van or train (the sailboat part is real, I'm a certified captain with 50,000+ nautical miles at sea). Jonatan, my partner, thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 100 days, the PCT, the Camino, Kungsleden and Corsica's GR20, and is walking the Continental Divide Trail right now.

Your First Hike: the guide
Everything I wish I knew before my first multi-day trail, in one guide: choosing the right trail, training, gear on a budget, food, fear, and the first night in a tent. It comes from 2,000+ km of walking and every mistake I made along the way, so you can skip them and just go.
