Articles by Vince Strawbridge
An author and entrepreneur from Lakeland, Florida and a reformed hiking skeptic, Vince Strawbridge builds docks and seawalls with StrawNix Waterfront Solutions between wilderness adventures. His first book, Pretty Good at Walking: A Family Journey, chronicles his family’s 2018 southbound thru-hike of the entire 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail—a journey he somehow convinced them to undertake. Currently, he’s preparing to tackle the 3,000-kilometer Hexatrek with his youngest daughter, Georgie, validating his wife’s concern that he has an incurable case of trail fever. Follow his family’s ongoing adventures @strawbridgetreks.
