About
Follow the Hiker
Hiking films, turned into hikes you can plan and follow. Watch how someone walked it, then see their days, costs, gear and maps, and plan your own.
Who makes it
Follow the Hiker is made by Kraig Adams, who films his long hikes for YouTube. It started with his own films and guides: each hike leads with the film, then the day-by-day itinerary, what it cost, where he slept and what he carried, from his own notes and GPS.
For hikers
- Find a hike by place, length, season or budget, and read how creators did it.
- Plan it: copy a creator's days, stays and gear into a private plan link, with booking deadlines.
- Log your own hikes from your watch or phone (a GPX file). They're private until you choose to share them with followers or everyone, and your home and other private places are cut out of any track others see.
- Follow hikers and creators: their new hikes show in your notifications. No emails.
For creators
If you film your hikes, you can have a page like Kraig's: your films first, your GPX maps, your day-by-day logs and your own gear links. How it works.
