● Tips based on the authors' extensive on-the-ground experiences

● Interest in hiking and long-distance trails continues to boom

In Adventure Ready, renowned hikers Katie "Salty" Gerber and Heather "Anish" Anderson take what they've learned both on the trail and through teaching their online classes to a new level: preparing long-distance hikers for all the challenges—physical, emotional, and mental—they may encounter while on the trail for weeks or months. This clear and comprehensive guide sets backpackers up for success with detailed information about everything from the basics of gear selection, navigation, safety, and trip planning to nutritional and physical preparation and body resiliency to how to readjust after returning home. Throughout, thoughtful prompts to address the "Why" of your adventure help to keep you motivated.

Adventure Ready empowers both men and women to create goals, face challenges, and be stronger and smarter on the trail.

Heather Anderson is a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, avid mountaineer, professional speaker, and author. She holds several Fastest Known Times and was the first woman to complete the Triple Crown of thru-hiking in a calendar year.

Katie Gerber is a certified holistic health and nutrition coach, wilderness instructor, guide, and writer. She is a seasoned long-distance hiker who has logged thousands of miles on trails and routes including the Continental Divide Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Colorado Trail, and the Oregon Desert Trail. She lives and adventures in the mountains of Colorado.

Marie Jenkins is a trained vocalist, audio engineer, and songwriter/composer, producing music and recording audiobooks out of her home studio in Los Angeles. She loves good storytelling, whether in the form of a song or novel, and has years of experience professionally delivering both to clients as a session vocalist, a topline songwriter, and a narrator for various companies and publishers. When she's not working with audio, she is likely embroidering while trying to keep her two cats from eating the yarn.
