Your hikes, your page
If you film your hikes, Follow the Hiker gives you a page that turns each film into a plan people can follow. See Kraig Adams's page for what one looks like.
What your page includes
- Your films first. Each hike leads with your film, in YouTube's own player, credited to you.
- GPX maps. Your route on a map with its elevation profile, and the GPX files hikers can download.
- Day-by-day logs. Each day's distance, climbing, where you slept and what it was like, from your own words.
- Your affiliate links stay yours. Gear lists with your own links, marked paid with your disclosure. The site never swaps them.
- Trip-planner templates. "Plan it your way" turns your version into a plan anyone can copy: dates, your gear as a checklist, booking deadlines.
- Stats and followers. Miles, climbing, days, countries; people follow you and hear when you post a new hike.
How to join
- Ask below with your channel. Kraig reads every request himself.
- If it's a fit, he sends you an invite and you sign up yourself. Nothing is built for you before that, and nothing goes public in your name.
- Once you've joined, your page is built privately from your public films. You get a private link to review it, change anything, and publish each hike when you're happy.
