Welcome!

Everyone deserves a little ✨Trail Magic✨

Hey, we’re Thruhikers — Renee and Tim!

We’ve traveled >10,000 miles of trail together (and counting). From our 3,149-mile trek along the Continental Divide Trail to our 2,700-mile paddle and hike on our self-made Pacific Northwest Circuit route, we love taking on big adventures — and teaching and inspiring you to do the same (seriously, check out Renee’s FKT video).

Trail Magic is our newsletter and community resource for hikers, backpackers, and adventurers looking for tips and tales from (and for) the trail. We’ll share recipes (like those we publish in our book). We’ll break down backpacking tips like how, what, and (what not) to pack. We’ll give our hot takes on gear we love (and don’t). And we’ll fill you in on our adventures — and advice for what we learned along the way.

Each update, we’ll share:

• Trail Magic Newsletters: Covering our thoughts on all things food, gear, and adventures.

• Recipe Posts: Recent creations from our kitchen, featuring dehydrated and freeze-dry meals for the trail.

• Gear Reviews: Unfiltered takes on what we love (and not) for our trips.

• Updates and News: What’s new with Thruhikers, like exclusive launches, upcoming trips, partner updates, and more.

In addition to our free newsletter and posts, our paid subscribers will be able to ask us questions in our Community Chat. We’ll respond via videos and chime in on chat Threads over time. Subscribers also get access to exclusive content (like new recipes and unscripted gear reviews!) — and the opportunity to comment and connect with others in the Thruhikers Community Chat.

Beyond Trail Magic, follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube where we share everything from backpacking tips and gear reviews to dehydrated recipes.

See you out there.
