And the Lord said, "Let there be zero days!"

Those in the long-distance backpack and hiking community know what a zero day is. Simply put, it is a day where one takes a day off and hikes zero miles. A zero day can be taken on the trail (never done that myself), but most hikers take them in town or at a hostel. Those who know me well would say that I am not apt to take a zero day. Yes, I hike and hike and hike! Yet I could certainly learn a lesson in the art of taking a day off the trail.

My blog Zero Day will cover everything about long-distance backpacking (i.e. hikers, trails, equipment, fatigue, or zero days). I hope to keep this going over the next few days, weeks or years. Enjoy!
