Organized around the full arc of an outdoor trip, Thruhikers moves from preparation and packing to decisions made on the trail and the adjustment afterward. Renee Miller and Tim Beissinger draw on hiking, backpacking, canoeing, and camping experience to cover route planning, gear, weather, wildlife, navigation, injury care, food safety, and Leave No Trace practices. The book also makes camp meals a substantial part of the experience, with more than 20 plant-based dehydrated recipes designed for travel. Stories from the authors’ time outdoors sit alongside troubleshooting guidance, framing trail travel as both a logistical undertaking and a lived routine.
