Jeff Brownscheidle

Jeff Brownscheidle has his dad to thank for his love of wilderness adventure. Long before he was an engineer, a boyhood fascination with the world that exists where roads end and trails begin had taken root. Better known as “Mountain Man” among hiking circles, he has completed over 10,000 miles of long distance hiking on some of America’s greatest trails. When he’s not on the trail chronicling his adventures for his blog, he consults aspiring thru-hikers on how to make the most of their own time on trail.
