Let's Face the Truth...
Hiking Without the Proper Skills is Unsafe
❌
Your Phone Is NOT a Navigation System
Just relying on your phone or GPS can leave you lost if you don't know how to use a map & compass
❌
Search & Rescue Can't Get to You Immediately
Even with satellite communicators, it takes time for S&R to reach you. Every hiker needs to be able to survive 24 hours in the field
❌

Meet Your Instructor
My name is Shaun Flynn and I am a New Hampshire and Maine Guide.
Like everyone, I started off knowing absolutely nothing about hiking or survival skills. Over the last 20 years I have researched, tested and developed a system that has allowed me to adventure confidently and efficiently in the backcountry and now guide other people as well.
And guess what the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire journey is...? Really being prepared is more than just carrying the right stuff, it also means knowing how to use it! But once you have a set of fundamental skills and knowledge to compliment your gear, the sky is the limit as far as what wild places you are able to see. And that right there is what inspired me to create The Prepared Hiker System. So that people can learn the skills they need to adventure confidently and connect with nature, no matter what their experience or skill level!
This course is built for one reason, to help people just like you develop their own system that will be the foundation for all of their outdoor pursuits. I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this journey!
