Whether you're lacing up your boots for the first time or you’ve already conquered countless peaks, Trailwise - a new original video series by HIGHLANDER - is here to guide your every step.
This long-awaited educational series fills a crucial gap in outdoor learning by offering practical advice, expert insights, and trail-tested tips on all things hiking. From fine-tuning your gear list to keeping your feet blister-free, TrailWise is designed to support both beginners and seasoned adventurers in becoming more confident and capable in the great outdoors.
TrailWise delivers expert tips, real-world insights, and backcountry wisdom to help you hike smarter, safer, and with more confidence.
The series launches with perhaps the most common issue hikers face: foot care. From preventing painful blisters to managing injuries, the first episode sets the tone for practical, hands-on knowledge you can use on your very next hike because nothing ends a hike faster than painful feet.
The second episode, which is also already out, is covering the topic of fueling your adventure. In it, Joe Hunter covers what to eat before, during, and after your hike and shows you some of his favourite food options. He also covers the topic of hydration in the video. Learn how to stay energized, hydrated, and balanced, especially on longer or more demanding routes.
Whether you're discovering your first summit or chasing a new personal best, Trailwise is here to guide you with clear, concise, and practical advice.
