Fat Girls Hiking: An Inclusive Guide to Getting Outdoors at Any Size or Ability by Summer Michaud-Skog

5.0

This book is packed with advice for folks looking to get out hiking - and I was delighted to hear about FGH & that there's a chapter not that far from me! I enjoyed this and could see it being a useful reference for someone not used to hiking.

The revolutionary thing is that this gives us fat folks permission to take up space on the trails, hike in clothes that fit properly & feel good on our bodies (because we all know the outdoor companies do NOT market to us), to hike slow, to enjoy the experience, to listen to our bodies.

I love the emphasis on accessibility for all - there's honestly so much to love in here & if you are a hiker of ANY kind, I would highly recommend it for the straightforward advice on how to make group hikes more inclusive.

I was provided a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, but I'll be buying a copy for myself anyway.
