About

I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2024 and the Colorado Trail in 2025 as well as many smaller trails in between. I test hiking and outdoor gear in real adventures — long trails, swamps, and places it was never meant to go — so you don’t have to. I’m the guy behind I Suck at Hiking — a channel built on learning the hard way. I’ve thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail (2024) and the Colorado Trail (2025), and I’m out hiking or backpacking almost every month. Instead of perfect trips and polished reviews, I push outdoor gear into real-world conditions — long miles, bad weather, and questionable decisions — to see what actually works and what fails. Most gear looks great on paper. I test it where it matters. If you’re into hiking, backpacking, ultralight gear, and outdoor adventures that don’t always go according to plan, you’re in the right place. Learning the hard way so you don’t have to.
