Do you want to try hiking but fear getting injured, lost or worn out?
Do you want to know how to maximize the benefits of going outdoors?
Are you looking for a beginner-friendly guide to help you make your trip safer, enjoyable, meaningful yet less tiring?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this audiobook is for you...
50 Things to Know Before Going on a Hike by Jonai Republica offers an approach to help you be prepared enough to have a fun, safe and meaningful hike. Most audiobooks on hiking tell you the authors’ trail stories, mishaps and lessons learned during their own grand adventures, as well as tips on the best gears to bring. Although there's nothing wrong with that, it is equally important for beginners to know what to do before and during the hike to make the best out of the experience. Based on knowledge from the world's leading experts, the best outdoors experience comes to those who are prepared.
In this audiobook you'll find a combination of planning guides, preparation and packing tips, hiking techniques, and life lessons that others only have known by experience after they have suffered the consequence of ignorance.
This audiobook will help you prepare logistically, physically, mentally and spiritually before you hit the trail. By the time you finish this audiobook, you will know everything you need to know to have a successful and memorable hike.
So grab your copy today. You'll be glad you did.

Thankfully, with the right mind-set, families can find beauty, meaning, and connection in a life lived outdoors. Here, outdoors expert Steven Rinella shares the parenting wisdom he has garnered as a father whose family has lived amid the biggest cities and wildest corners of America.

One of the best forms of therapy is simple: Get out and stay out - as often and for as long as you can. In Both Feet on the Ground, Marshall Ulrich champions “disconnecting to reconnect”, urging you to spend time unplugged, eat food whose origins you understand, and push yourself to try something bold and personally compelling.

For Eric Travis, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail was not about hiking. It was about expanding his mental development by listening to audiobooks. Over the 156-day and 2,500-plus-mile journey, Travis completed 71 audiobooks on a wide range of genres such as religion, history, personal development, and literary classics - all of which served to expand his knowledge, cultural awareness, and business acumen.

Long distance running is much like any other fitness training. If you want to improve, you need a good plan that has a progressive nature. If you are new to this game, you need a solid foundation to build on. Having a running program is not the only thing that you need. Sound advice and running tips should be taken from someone who has "walked the walk", or in this case, "ran the run".

After carefully weighing the options, Brian decided to continue toward the summit, alone. Four hours later, Brian solo summited the highest peak in the world. But the celebration was short lived.

Early on in his life, Matt craved a return to nature. When he became an adult, he set aside his comfortable urban life and lived entirely off the land. In this riveting narrative that brings together epic adventure and spiritual quest, he shows us what extraordinary things the human body is capable of when pushed to its limits. He learns the secrets of the Tarahumara Indians, which help him run the 1,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail in just 58 days and endure temperature swings of 100 degrees.

Not a technical guide on snowboarding but, rather, a very personal approach to how to think about mountains, snow, and adventure, The Art of Shralpinism reflects the remarkable journey of snowboarding superstar Jeremy Jones. Drawing on the hundreds of journals he has kept over the years, Jones offers intriguing snapshots of time and place that include his own on-the-slope stories and white-out moments, as well as those of other prominent adventurers such as Jimmy Chin, Zahan Billimoria, and Christina Lusti.

Travis Macy has summited glacial peaks in the French Alps, rappelled into limestone caves in China, and raced through parched deserts in Utah. In 2013 he famously won the Leadman Series, a combination of nearly 300 miles of high-altitude trail running and mountain biking over the course of five epic endurance races. Macy achieved all of these victories without elite professional training or even exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility.

You’re stressed, tired of answering the beeps on your phone and computer. Your kids get too much screen time. You don’t know where your next meal was grown or raised. One of the best forms of therapy is simple: Get out and stay out - as often and for as long as you can. In Both Feet on the Ground, Marshall Ulrich champions “disconnecting to reconnect”, urging you to spend time unplugged, eat food whose origins you understand, and push yourself to try something bold and personally compelling.

Our minds are conditioned to create chaos. They often convince us to quit long before we reach our goals. Unless we can gain awareness and interrupt these "chaos" scripts early, they will consume our thoughts and drive us towards decisions we will regret. This book will give you the ability to open your awareness, apply several tools to calm the chaos, and increase the momentum towards your goals.

"I never set out to hike 10,000 miles. It just sort of happened over the course of a decade." And so goes Lawton Grinter's compelling collection of short stories that have been over ten years and 10,000 trail miles in the making. I Hike brings the reader trailside with blissful moments on the highest mountain ridges to the mental lows of mosquito hell and into some peculiar situations that even seasoned hikers may find unbelievable.
