nullTwo-Heel Drive’s Tom Mangan — the godfather of this little hiking-blogging corner of the interwebs, has gone all open-source on us and launched a new how-to site called Hike Hacker.

It’s already amassing quite an archive of tips and tricks from other hikers, ranging from how to properly hold trekking poles to getting those waterfall snapshots looking great. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a how-to refresher course, or just want to get a few ideas to try something new on the trail.
