The snow is melting, and soon the trails will fill with hikers discovering the mountain trails for the first time. Like many, years of experience have taught me many things. Some, I picked up in books written by the greats , Fletcher, Waterman, Allen, Smith, Dickerman and many others. Some I learned from seminars given by many different organizations located near and far. And some I learned from hikers I have met on the trails, parking lots and summits of New England.
So, now it’s time to give back. Lets help the new hikers out there, lacing up their boots for the first time. I’m asking you, the experienced hiker with many miles under your boots, to share those little tricks you have learned, not from books, or seminars, but from mistakes (both life threatening or stupid) that have happened to you.
The more we share with the newer hikers in our small community, the more they will enjoy the our-of-doors, and will be less likely to be involved in a trail side incident in the future. And isn’t that the reason for this BBS?
Thanks….Walker
