Steve is a legend. He is leaving at the end of October to hike the 3,000km Te Araroa hike in New Zealand. He'll be joining us on October 21, 2026, at the Moss and Mountain Outdoor Co. shop to give us an inside look into his 3+ months of preparation. He will break down the logistics of planning a major thru-hike including daily route planning, accommodation, travel budgets, and resupply strategy.
He will also showcase his gear setup, walking through every item in his pack from shelter and sleep systems to clothing, cooking and electronics, highlighting how he plans to balance minimal pack weight with backcountry efficiency.
