There’s been a recent trend the last few years as mobile technology has improved and recording abilities have become common on every device you carry for hikers to start to vlog (video blog) their thru-hikers on YouTube. They release single day updates or chapters, etc. on their way through these incredible trails.
We’d like to help document these content creators and share our favorites to follow. We hope to be able to set up interviews with many of them moving forward and ask them some questions about what went into their hikes, what they’re using and how they’re feeling throughout their journeys. We hope you enjoy and will follow them as well!
