Hello, Welcome to Hike Cafe's New Blog.

Hello all, and welcome to the new blog of Hike cafe.  So, some of you may be wondering what Hike Cafe is going to be all about.  You may have found my page through a variety of ways but are curious about what the purpose will be.

Well our first goal is going to be giving value to the hiking mountaineering community is various ways.  May be good ideas on gear selection, hikes, or even good healthy foods.  But the bottom line is we want to build a community of people who have common interests.

If you ever have a topic you want us to blog about, or would like a more of a conversation feel free to leave a comment here on any of our posts.  We will do our best to accommodate a blog post or a Facebook discussion on whatever topic you want to talk about.

To see what we do, please check out our Facebook Page to see what we do, and what we are trying to build.  Also we have a store that we are putting together, so go check it out at www.hikecafe.com

SO WHAT MAKES ME AN AUTHORITY

You may be thinking, that's all fine and dandy, but what makes you the know it all?  Well the funny thing is I don't.  I know some great tricks and gear that I personally like through my years of experience on the  Northwest mountains and trails. However, this community is going to feature just not my opinion and self written content but video's, how to's from other writers, hikers, and mountaineers.

Yes I do have decades of experience...lots of know how on long hikes, mountaineering climbs (not a rock jock anymore lol)   like i said above its not about me.  Look for years i have been dissatisfied with the amount of bs in most Hiking and climbing communities online.  Usually there is one guy or gal trying to make themselves look like the next rock star.  Not going to happen here...looking for a place people can talk about their adventures, gear ideas, or get advise.

Thats all for now, Ill be posting about the 10 essentials.  Gear you need on any hike....never leave home with out it gear.

What are the 10 Essentials The ten essentials are an easy list to remember.  They can be found on most hiking and mountaineering websites, so there is no excuse for not finding them.  Here is the list: Navigation (Map, Compass, and GPS) Sunglasses and Sunscreen (you may even need this during the winter)   Extra clothing Flashlight First aid Fire ( Fire Starter) Repair kit Extra food Hydration (H2O) Emergency Shelter ...
