Your brain is the most important piece of gear you can bring on a hike, and the more you know, the safer you'll feel. Join Barry Williams on Mondays to plan your hikes for the week ahead, ask questions about what to pack, and more. 

Have a question you want Barry to answer? Ask here in the group and tag your question with the "Hiking Safety + Planning with Barry" topic so he can address your questions in the group and on the call. 

We recommend AllTrails as a first step in researching your hikes, but that is not a one-stop solution. Be sure to Google the name of the trail you're planning to hike and do your research. 

Not sure where to start? We got your back!
