We're learning it the hard way... so you don't have to.

 

The Rookie Backpacker is a growing collection of backpacking basics to help the average Joe get through the woods.  We've tried and tested everything presented here to hopefully give you the answers you're searching for and to help make your hikes more enjoyable.

 

At the top of the page you find all of our hike and gear reviews and how to videos.  

 

From time to time we take group hikes and would love to have you with us!  Follow us on Facebook for notifications of group hikes and pictures of our previous hikes.  Subscribe to our YouTube channel for our latest videos.

 

Thanks for visiting The Rookie Backpacker.

 

Stay safe and stay outdoors, and God bless!
