40 Backpacking Hacks: Tried and True Tricks of the Trail, Volume 2

I love a good life hack.

If there’s a clever, new way to use household items or a fun idea for how to make something easier, cheaper, or more efficient, I’m all for it.

And that goes for trail time, too! Backpacking hacks can make your trip more creative, comfortable, entertaining and fun. In fact, backpacking is the perfect opportunity to exercise that creativity muscle.

You can use the backpacking hacks in this book to get you started—but before long, I promise, you’ll be coming up with your own backpacking hacks. You’ll discover new ways to fix problems, create customized gear, and turn your one-trick ponies into multi-use items.

So whether you’re a seasoned backpacker or you’ve yet to step foot on the trail, I invite you to approach backpacking with a healthy dose of open-mindedness. You’ll discover something new every single time.

Why is the first hack in this book “#41?” In case you missed it, this is my second book of backpacking hacks. Check out volume 1 for hacks #1-40. Each hack comes from the “Backpack Hack of the Week” of an episode of The First 40 Miles Podcast. It’s a weekly podcast for people who are new to backpacking and hiking, which I host with my husband, Josh.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Podcasts are usually done by people who are experts in their field. They know a lot, and they have a lot to say. I host a backpacking podcast called The First 40 Miles. However, I'm not an expert. I'm a beginner backpacker. I haven't solo hiked the Pacific Crest Trail or sawed off a frost-bitten limb with a credit card. I have never eaten raw squirrel meat or slept under a blanket of pine needles and steaming bear dung. I haven't been stranded for weeks in the woods with only a knife-and a camera crew. But, I have discovered a simple love of hiking and backpacking. And it all happened in the first 40 miles. In 2014, my husband was preparing for his first weeklong backpacking trip in a long while. I became interested in everything he was learning. Then, a week before the trip, Josh's trip leader pulled me aside at a wedding reception and asked, "Would you like to go?" Something sparked inside of me! I went from zero to ready in seven days. My first 40 miles was spent circumnavigating Mount Hood on the Timberline Trail. I want to approach backpacking with creativity, because there are few things that require as much creative thinking, imagination, inventiveness, improvisation, insight, and intuition as the act of strapping 30 pounds to your back and disappearing into the thick woods.
