About The Site Owner

Hi, I’m Justin the owner, content manager and primary writer on TheHikingAuthority.

I grew up in a small Ohio town just outside of Cleveland.  My parents started me off right and I’ve been camping/backpacking since before I could walk.

Throughout the years I’ve spent countless hours researching gear and perfecting my backpacking setup.   Now I want to share what I’ve learned with you. Feel free to ask me questions by following the contact us page below.
