‘Hikes’ author’s article on winter clothing for kids runs in SBM

My article about how to dress kids for a winter hike appeared in Thursday’s Seattle Backpackers Magazine. The article addresses topics such as layering clothes, accessories to bring, and taking a preventative stance. SBM covers hiking, camping and climbing. You can read the article online.

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
