Solo Trippers are cut from an inherently different cloth than that of most trippers. We handle challenges alone, with only our thoughts to guide us.

In a world of ever increasing responsibilities and conformity, the lure of the wilderness pulls us from the concrete jungle to walk alone. This site is dedicated to those that buck the system and head out to the wilderness with only themselves and their skills to get them by.
