HikingGuy is all about making hiking easier, safer, and more fun for everyone, whether you're just starting out or you've been hiking for years. I create detailed trail guides and share hiking tips I’ve learned along the way to help you feel confident out there. I also dive deep into the gear that works, like satellite communicators, GPS devices, and smartwatches, so you know what’s worth your money. If you’re curious about Garmin inReach, Fenix watches, or other outdoor tech, you’re in the right place. From bucket list hikes to navigation tips, I’ve got you covered. Subscribe for practical videos packed with advice and trail guides that actually make sense. Happy trails!
