Why Hikers Need Better Trail Identification – How QR Code Hiker Tags Are Solving It

If you're a long-distance hiker, then you know how important clear identification can be on the trail. 🥾

But I've got something I hope will be a game-changer for you! ⛰️

For several years, we've offered Hiker Tags with integrated QR codes to aid in hiker identification on the trail, and I wanted to remind you of them!

During my years of supporting ADT and other hikers, I frequently heard stories about mistaken identity situations - such as the recent case where an innocent hiker in Idaho was confused for a fugitive, triggering a massive manhunt. The hiker had to contact authorities to clear up the confusion after realizing he'd been misidentified.
