Yo what’s happenin’, my name is Nick Brooks (IG: #outdoorgearandbeer). I’m from Atlanta, GA and I’m an elementary music teacher by day. I hike on the weekends and I review beer and outdoor gear in my spare time. I love backpacking, mountain biking, trail running and recently started taking up fly fishing.
Some of my favorite places that I’ve been backpacking and camping are Smoky Mountain National Park, the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia and the Pisgah National Forest. One of the most epic trips that I’ve taken was backpacking the Teton Crest Trail in Grand Teton National Park.
In 2016 3 homies and I took to this 4 day adventure in Jackson, WY. You gotta go! The sky was massive and the mountains engulfed us. It was truly spectacular to be in that space. We backpacked and camped and just got dirty. Shout out to my wife for letting me follow my passions of the outdoors. We took a family trip to Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon National Park this year……we got it in! It’s a blessing to share these experiences with my two sons.
