Hello, fellow hiker and backpacker,
April 23 is my birthday, and to celebrate and show my appreciation for you following my blog, I have a special gift for you.
That means you get full access to all stories at my blog for $41.97 instead of the usual cost of $59.95 for a full year, or just $3.50 a month.
Go to my Join page and click on the Subscribe button under the Annual subscription option, which is the second column. Enter discount code TBO30, click the blue Apply button, and the price will reset to $41.97. Then just fill out the form and complete the purchase. The 30% discount applies only to a one-year subscription. You also get one free or discounted e-book, a $12.95 value; I’ll personally email you the discount code for that after you subscribe.

Me backpacking southern Utah’s Buckskin Gulch last week.
While some stories are free for anyone to read, numerous stories require a subscription/membership to read in full, including the many stories about trips I have taken, with my tips on planning them yourself, and stories in which I share expert skills that will make your adventures more enjoyable and safer. Subscribing opens the full value of my blog to you. Plus, I offer a 30-day, money-back satisfaction guarantee for Monthly and Annual subscriptions.
That’s the biggest discount I offer on a subscription all year, so don’t miss out!
Join hundreds of people like you at all experience levels who subscribe, from those who’ve backpacked for decades to complete beginners and families with children.
“Your blog is just the best, Michael, and anytime I’m planning a trip—especially out West—I check with your site first. Really love it!! I’ve done a ton of hiking and backpacking solo and with my family, and I still come here for inspiration and ideas. Thanks for such a great resource!”

By the way, a Premium subscription, which includes my Custom Trip Planning, is always priced at a rate that gives you 33% off a one-year subscription. And my premier Talk to Michael subscription offers a suite of benefits, including 33% off an Annual subscription, a comprehensive phone call and unlimited emails with me for trip brainstorming and any other questions you have for me, plus one Custom Trip Plan and $50 off a second custom trip plan in the same year.
