Here’s some useful tips that I’ve learned after having explored the New England wilderness since I was a boy helping my father with his tree business. Hopefully you find some of this useful in your trips. ~Cheers~

• Comfy and breathable socks
• Comfy and waterproof boots

Best Hiking Clothing

Maintaining a separate wardrobe for hiking is a good idea to which a number of avid hikers subscribe. The best hiking clothing to wear is not your jeans and T-shirt, but instead a careful mix of breathable materials that complement one another to keep you warm or cool, depending on the weather.

Guide to Animal Track

Identifying animal tracks can reveal important information about native wildlife populations and habitat. Additionally, understanding how to read a track can prevent potential dangers, such as a skunk or bear encounter.
