Satire, hiking, enrichment… two out of three ain’t bad.

Legal stuff:
If you follow any of the advice on this site, The Hiking Times salutes your dedication to improvement of the gene pool through self-eradication.
An integral part of the dirtbag hiker lifestyle is having a net worth that triples when the hiking clothes go through the laundry. In the event that the unthinkable happens, suing us isn’t likely to be worth the time and effort of you or your estate. Have you considered the deep pockets of your gear manufacturer and the entity that owns the land where you were spindled, folded, or mutilated? They look very liable, if you ask us. (We make great expert witnesses too, at extremely reasonable rates… just sayin’.)

About the Author:
The Hiking News is courtesy of the slightly bizarre mind of Carl Nelson. He is a professional electron torturer for both fun and profit. In outdoor circles, he is best known for being a longtime subscriber to Backpacker magazine, his daring and inspirational thru-hikes of several semi-well-known local trails of less than 3 1/2 miles, pumping three liters of water without complaint that time a couple years ago, and his uncanny ability to start a fire with only a single lighter. He has successfully spent a lifetime resting on the laurels of a mediocre (at best) Boy Scout career back in the day and a degree from a reputable university that mistakenly admitted him. His love of the outdoors may simply be an extension of a general hatred of people and a desire to engage in activities where poor personal hygiene practices are not regarded disdainfully.
