Ben Wrote A Book "268 Mistakes Hikers Make"

We're thrilled to announce the release of a new book from our very own founder, Ben McMillen! "268 Mistakes Hikers Make: And How to Avoid Looking Like a Total Newbie in the Woods," is a brutally honest and fun-to-read guide that promises to help new adventurers navigate the trails more safely, enjoyably, and with a little humor when things go wrong.

Ben McMillen is an entrepreneur, outdoor enthusiast, and author deeply rooted in the Pennsylvania landscape he calls home. As the owner of several businesses, including Hilltop Packs, Hilltop Packs Coffee, Apex Giant, and RGB Coffee, Ben brings a diverse background to his writing. He's a seasoned contributor to local newspapers and various industry blogs, known for his practical insights. With this new book, Ben draws upon years of experience to help new adventurers navigate the trails with confidence. Beyond the world of business and books, Ben cherishes time spent exploring and making memories with his wife and four children.

Drawing from real-life experiences, "268 Mistakes Hikers Make" is a book of bite-sized lessons, tips, and cautionary tales. It's packed with practical advice on everything from what to pack and what to wear to trail etiquette, safety tips, and even backcountry bathroom mishaps. The book has quickly become a #1 New Release in Hiking & Camping on Amazon, and early reviews from customers are already describing it as "incredibly practical."

Whether you're new to the trails or looking to brush up on your skills, this book is an invaluable resource.
