About Big Guy Backpacking

Hello and welcome to Big Guy Backpacking! We are founded on the belief that time spent outdoors in the woods is the best way to spend time. Therefore, we aim to inspire, teach, help, and build a community of like minded people so that we may all do just that. While all are welcome, as the name suggests, we also pay extra attention to help those on the upper ends of the height and weight spectrum maximize the enjoyment they have while hike, backpacking, and adventuring in general. 

My name is Mike AKA Big Guy and I will be you host and friend as you join the BGB community. All it takes is a little information, a few friends, and to be honest a lot of sweat to start getting back to your roots out in the wilderness that is left in this world. 

I never feel better going back to work after a few days in the woods and not just because that means I get to sit down all day. My mind is at rest from the fresh air, beautiful views, and sense of accomplishment after every hike. These feelings are only magnified when you can share those moments and accomplishments with friends. Experiences out on the trail can bring people together and creates bonds that last a lifetime.

This is not to say that taking multi day trips into the backcountry is easy and perfectly safe. That's where we come. Join the community today and we'll help you find the right gear, get the best information, and help find hiking buddies that will be there to help when you need them.

Don't wait, backpacking and hiking are 4 season activities. Join the BGB community today and start on the adventure of a lifetime.
