Micro-learning: Lightening Strikes

This 3-minute micro-learning podcast from Trek for Trevor explores the dangers of lightning strikes while hiking and how to stay safe when storms roll in. Through a simulated conversation between two hikers, listeners learn how to recognize storm risk, reduce exposure in the backcountry, and make smart decisions when thunder is nearby.

What Hikers are Saying

“Keep up your great work and mission, and I guarantee your efforts will spare someone's beloved kid a serious injury or save their life. I am certain of that.”

Thomas Syzek MD
“There is no great adventure if you can’t tell your friends about it afterwards. Thank you for your efforts to keep hikers safe."

Julie “Kickapoo” Fast
“ I have read several of your articles on safety. I very much appreciate every word and have taken them to heart. Great work! Trevor is making a profound impact on hiker safety,”

Ted Graham
“I just want to thank you for your efforts to raise visibility of the dangers on the PCT. Twice I've been rushing to go on a hike (once with my son), and found your advice and modified my plans.”

Jesse Walker
“Your recommendations are eye opening. We will never go short on gear to lessen the load. You have no idea how many people you have already saved or will save.”

Denise Rogers
"You have already changed my preparations for gear and logistics with the information you have posted. I'll try to minimize the weight I carry, but only up to a point."

Fred Jones
"As an avid hiker myself, I strive to tackle more challenging trails. I need to be constantly reminded about the importance of preparedness and safety. Thank you, Trek for Trevor, for your mission and vision in supporting this wonderful community."

Rau Arambula
“We ran into quite a bit of snow on the PCT this year. Our Trevor Spikes helped us navigate those dangerous sections. The awareness of snow/ice dangers by Trek for Trevor helped calm hikers’ nerves. Thanks again!”
