6 Ways Hiking Will Change Your Life

Physical fitness: Hiking is an excellent form of exercise that can help improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles, and increase endurance. It is a low-impact activity that can be done at various levels of intensity, making it suitable for people of all fitness levels.
Mental health: Hiking has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Being in nature can have a calming effect on the mind, and physical activity can release endorphins, which are natural mood-boosters.
Weight management: Hiking can help burn calories and aid in weight loss or maintenance. Hiking on trails with varied terrain can also help build strength and endurance, which can lead to improved overall fitness levels.
Connection with nature: Hiking allows people to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of natural landscapes. This can have a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing.
Social interaction: Hiking can be a social activity, allowing individuals to bond with friends and family while enjoying the outdoors together.
Education and exploration: Hiking can be an opportunity to learn about nature and explore new areas. Hiking trails often have informational signs or guidebooks that provide information about local flora and fauna, geological features, and history.

Sturdy hanger

I use this for backpacks and plate vests. It is plenty strong without being overweight. The ears at each end keep shoulder straps from sliding off.

My bag survived a bear attack!

I'm 3 weeks into my AT thru, and a little over a week ago a bear swiped my bag from a PCT hang. My bag and its contents were nowhere to be seen anywhere around the shelter. Defeated, I went back into Franklin and got a basic dry sack as a placeholder until my replacement arrived.

Two days later, I found my missing bag at a trail junction like 5-10 miles past the shelter I lost it at! The food was all eaten inside and only trash remained, but I had my beloved bag back! I kept hiking on and at the end of my day, I ran into a group of people who I shared the shelter with where my bag was lost. One guy found it and packed it out thinking he'd run into me again, and he was the one to put it at the trail junction where I found it. The red loop on the bag was ripped off, and there were just 3 tiny pinholes (pictured) that were easily fixed by some duct tape.

After a bear had ravaged through my food bag, it was barely even damaged! I am dedicated to taking this bag with me to Katahdin 💯

this is anamazing story! when you complete your hike and you want us to repair the red tab let us know!

"Dogbone" Bear bag toggle (PCT Method hang)

Excellent product! Fit my needs perfectly.
Thanks!

Great little bag!

I was needing an accessory bag to hold my phone. My pockets are either too small or inaccessible due to my waist belt. This little since sack was perfect addition to my shoulder strap! It kept my phone and a snack. I liked the sinch bag for my phone because I could control the opening which I left open. I had plenty of room for Samsung s23 with the larger screen. Easy to drop in and take out.
