Synopsis

Hiking From Home: A Long-Distance Hiking Guide for Family and Friends is an informative guide for those supporting a long-distance hiker.

This guide provides useful suggestions on how to remain supportive from before the hike begins to long after it is over, with additional resources included for significant others who are in a relationship with the hiker. Throughout the book quotes from previous hikers and supporters keep the reader engaged, with opinions, tips, and suggestions from perspectives of all ages and backgrounds.
