How to Be a Better Hiker With the American Hiking Society

Backcountry fly fishing, by necessity, requires a lot of hiking. Your legs are the primary vehicle you'll use to access the wild places we love to fish, and that means it pays to know how to be a good hiker.In this episode, Maggie Peikon from the American Hiking Society joins us to talk about what to bring, how to stay safe, how to share the trail, how to deal with wildlife, and various other topics that will help elevate your hiking game.If you want to learn more about AHS and their amazing work, or if you want to get involved (and you should), you can visit the organization's website at https://americanhiking.org/. If you're enjoying the show, don't forget to follow us and (if you're feeling gracious) leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.Have questions or suggestions for the podcast?
