The Manifesto

"I recorded details about every day on my 2025 AT thru-hike using a popular app. Then I lost my phone and with it went all of my records. That's why I built Hiker Trash App. - Uncle Bill"

Born on the Trail

Hiker Trash was forged from the frustration of using mainstream tracking apps that don't work in airplane mode, don't save data locally and to the cloud, and drain your battery in the backcountry.

We built this for hikers. Thru-hikers. Hiker Trash. LASHers. Whether you are aiming for a 2,000-miler badge or trailing your Tramily through the high desert, this is your digital logbook.

The Hiker Resume

Your hiking career is more than just one trip. Hiker Trash acts as your permanent, lifetime "Hiker Resume." Every state crossed and every piece of gear tested goes into your global analytics profile.

The Original 250

Released on March 17, 2026, the first 250 users receive the exclusive "Original Hiker Trash" digital badge. It's our way of honoring the early adopters who helped us map the code.
