JR Hikes
Welcome to JR Hikes!
On this channel, you will find video documentation of various hiking/backpacking trips that I have taken around Indiana, her surrounding states and further. Also, you will find product reviews , gear reviews, gear lists and simply put to the test.
I started hiking/backpacking in 2017 as a means to cope with mild depression. Since then, it has done much more than that for me in my life…it has become a passion! So much so that I have created this channel for people to see what hiking has done for me and what it can do for you. Depression is a serious issue and Mother Nature is the cure. So, for those of you sitting at home on the couch looking for a way out...IT IS ON A TRAIL!
PLEASE, LIKE and SHARE my videos for others that are out there suffering from depression or perhaps suffering from life. Whether you're happy or not…SUBSCRIBE to my channel, CLICK THAT BELL ICON and then join me on the next trail!
