Enjoy the Great Outdoors

Enjoying the Great Outdoors has been something that has been with me since a young boy. I read every frontier story I could and dreamed of fishing mountain streams and hunting elk and deer. I love hiking and taking trails that few will take.

I have hiked, fished and hunted in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. I have a busy job in the city and walk the concrete jungles of Chicago. When I get in the forest and trails and turn off my electronics it just feeds my soul. It doesn't matter what time of the year, I just enjoy getting out in the woods and seeing new sites and the surprises around every corner.

I mostly hunted and fished but after marrying my wife, I have been more into hiking. I think it makes sense from a couple and family standpoint more than hunting and fishing although I have high hopes of passing on my love for fishing and hunting.

My wife loves to read this website about hiking and others to find our next destination that we are going to go try. She also likes to read reviews on hiking equipment and shoes. Shoes to me are the most important piece of equipment to me. If you don't take care of your feet it can be a miserable trip not only for you but for the people with you.

I do still like to go with my buddies and do Outdoor adventures like this site has on their website. Some things more extreme than the family normal outing.

We have also found that hiking is the best way for us to stay fit. You burn an amazing amount of calories in a day of hiking. Put together a few days on a trip and it is likely you will be sore but likely have lost weight. Thanks for reading this blog and let's get out there and enjoy the Great Outdoors and the peace and soul restoration that nature does for us!
