Catching up with Backpacker

After being gone for more than five weeks, I'm finally feeling like I'm starting to get caught up on everything. I've finally had a chance to look at a few emails Backpacker Magazine has sent me, and found a few hiking related articles that I think may be of interest to you, such as:

* Backpacker's Q & A with Appalachian Trail speed record holder Jennifer Pharr Davis.

* A list of the "20 Best Hikes Ever"....obviously subjective, but I did discover a couple I need to add to my bucket list.

* Guide for improving your walking skills.

* How a trash bag can improve your survival chances (I've had one in my backpack for years).

* 5 Steps to Saving Lives - how the pros treat an injured hiker.

* Winter camping tips.
