About this listen

  • Tips based on the authors' extensive on-the-ground experiences
  • Interest in hiking and long-distance trails continues to boom

In Adventure Ready, renowned hikers Katie "Salty" Gerber and Heather "Anish" Anderson take what they've learned both on the trail and through teaching their online classes to a new level: preparing long-distance hikers for all the challenges—physical, emotional, and mental—they may encounter while on the trail for weeks or months. This clear and comprehensive guide sets backpackers up for success with detailed information about everything from the basics of gear selection, navigation, safety, and trip planning to nutritional and physical preparation and body resiliency to how to readjust after returning home. Throughout, thoughtful prompts to address the "Why" of your adventure help to keep you motivated.

Adventure Ready empowers both men and women to create goals, face challenges, and be stronger and smarter on the trail.

Narration gets better if you stick with it. I almost DNF, but the info was too valuable to skip.

Narration gets better at about 25%

this book was written by two incredible women, one of whose first two books i loved in audible. I was expecting a similar experience with this book, but was unable to appreciate the information due to the mechanical-ike narration. the poor narration outweighted the information so much so that i could listen any longer past the gear section. buy the hard copy and read yourself.

The narration sounds too much like a robot for my liking. It's hard for me to focus on what is being said.

Great info but horrible narration

There's a lot of good information. But I'm struggling to listen to the narrator all the way to the end.

Katie and Heather serve up a plethora of anecdotes, experiential tidbits, and in-depth research pertinent to all things backpacking. While this book is oriented to long-distance hikers, it contains invaluable lessons for day hikers and LASHers as well as those planning to thru-hike multi-week or multi-month expeditions. This book will enable you to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and nutritionally, and set you on the path for success - the only thing left is to take the first step!

Awful narration that sounds like a robot. Can't stand it. I love Heather Anderson's other books, but I just can't listen to this one.
