Robbie Jones started his career as a freelance network security expert. He lives in Nashville, TN with his wife and two daughters. He started hiking 12 years ago at the age of 27 when his doctor diagnosed him with high blood pressure, borderline diabetes, obesity and being overweight. At the time his younger brother Bobby was a famous marathon runner, he decided to seek help from his brother to get into shape. Two days after he started training with his brother, he realized running was not for him. He was not fit to run even hundred yards let alone a marathon. His brother's coach then told him about hiking, as the coach himself was an avid hiker, he took Robbie with him on two mini hikes and showed him the basics of hiking. Robbie enjoyed the strolls so much that he started hiking immediately. That was 12 years ago. Fast forward to the present, Robbie now is an experienced long distance hiker, who traveled and hiked in over 17 countries. He no longer has diabetes or high blood pressure. He is a certified hiking coach for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. He teaches and promotes family hiking where a family with kids of any ages can go for a hike as a mini camping trip and have a fun time. As he started to hike longer distances, he started to do research on how to survive in the woods, bushcraft and then came disaster preparedness and in last five years he truly mastered the art of bushcraft, disaster preparedness and bug out survival tips and tools. He gave up his network security freelancing job six years ago and started doing one on one coaching/consulting on hiking, bushcraft, disaster preparedness, and bug out for many passionate people who come from all ages and background. He truly enjoys what he does now and happy that he is out helping people learn some very important set of skills of survival in the wilderness
