Trudging up that mountain side, trying to cross that river without falling in, walking in snow like you had medicine balls on your feet?

Never again ! ! Remember why you set out for that hike in the first place – bet it wasn’t to punish yourself! This blog is about lightening the hiking load piece by piece and step by step !
