Trailhead Hub

Choosing hiking gear shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Instead of one-size-fits-all lists, we break gear down by real-life scenarios and experience levels. Whether you’re just starting out or refining what you already have, these guides help you find gear that fits your adventure, not someone else’s.

Learning hiking skills can feel confusing when no one explains the why. In this section, we break things down using real trail situations, from layering to Leave No Trace, we help you understand how things work, why they matter, and how to hike with confidence at your own pace.

These are the stories behind Joyfully Lost. From our origin story to hard days, wrong turns, and nights we’ll never forget, these trail tales are honest, messy, and real. Pull up a seat around the campfire, read along, and you might even walk away with a few lessons for your own adventures.
