How To Hike 20+ Mile Days Backpacking (Without Killing Yourself!)

I just did a quick google search for how far the average backpacker hikes in a day and the answer that comes up is somewhere between 3 and 10 miles. That’s why I wanted to make this video to show how you can cover a much greater distance, more like 15 to 20 miles per day, and do that without killing yourself. I’m going to share with you some simple tips that have worked for me, now at age 62, to hike those big mile days. If I can do it, you can do it!
