Jerry here! Hiking and backpacking is one of my passions. My channel is from the perspective of a section hiker; trail hacks, the basics of backpacking, and some of my anecdotes from the many mistakes I've made over the years. I don’t know if I will ever become a thru-hiker, so I’m likely just like you; enjoying the trail when I can get away from work.

This channel began as your basic "this is how I do it." I've now evolved this into hiking to raise awareness for causes which I feel are important. On the local, national, and international level, I feel moved to try to raise awareness and money to help make the world a better place. A gigantic goal, I am aware. Can one person make a change? Yes!

Out on the Appalachian Trail my trail name is Monsoon.
