An Introduction to Hiking with Philip Werner

Philip Werner comes on the show to discuss his new book, "Hiking over 60: A modern guide to Hiking Gear and Techniques for Active Adults". 

Philip's website SectionHiker.com has been sharing gear and trail advice for almost two decades. It's a great resource whether you are new to hiking or at the intermediate or expert level. 

This episode is a great introduction for those new to hiking and we talk about how this new book is meant for both those new to hiking and those who are reintroducing themselves to the hiking world after some time away. 

We cover topics 

- Finding Local Trail Systems 

- Essential Gear and Being Safe

- Hiking over 60 considerations

- Leave No Trace

- Some of Philip's hikes in the White Mountains and beyond
