All of America's wilderness areas are amazing examples of pristine wild areas, but here are 20 areas that truly stand out as places you must see before you die!

Provoking little piece that has generated some interesting discussion in the comments from the pro- and anti-cairn camps.

One of the most beloved activities in wild lands is hiking.

I don’t always take a compass. Sometimes I don’t take a map. But I always take a BIC.

Today we’re fortunate to have excellent online mapping platforms like CalTopo, Hillmap, GaiaGPS, and AllTrails. But until these platforms are available deep in the backcountry on devices that don’t break or need recharging, as part of my trip planning routine I export and then print my digital maps into a field-friendly paper set.

This video shows the entirety of a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike from the US/Mexico border to the US/Canada border across 2,660 mi / 4,200 km through California, Oregon, and Washington.

A great resource for new and experienced hikers. Lists of gear, skills, first aid, and what to take.

This question is directed at those who overnight hike into the wilderness. What do you bring with you?

Dave Canterbury is a bit polarizing in that some people love him and some hate him. I tend not to care about his personality as much as I do about his ability to teach survival basics. This Fire School series is EXCELLENT for those wanting to learn how to make fire in the wild under many circumstances.
