Lifelong lover of the outdoors Derek Loranger had to get back into shape in order to get back to doing long backpacking trips and hikes

When Derek Loranger was a boy, his parents took him hiking and camping, and he loved the adventure. But as a busy adult, he found he couldn't do long treks anymore. He was out of shape. So, he joined a boot camp, got fit and is now happily hiking all the time now.
