A consuming society

Backcountry Secrets has been running on the web now for almost 2 years. I finally feel like the site is starting to get to the point I envisioned it may one day reach. The only problem to date, the web site has too many consumers and not enough producers.

I think I have the solution, a simple requirement. From now on, we are going to require users to submit one point before they can read the details of the hundreds of other points available. I figure it is a small thing to ask for. We've all been told that nothing in life is really ever "Free". Well, this is the price we are asking our users to pay. I figure it's better than $5.95 a month.

Guess we'll have to watch and see if it works or not. Hopefully everyone is not too selfish and they'll share some basic points.

Multiple Sports per Point

The latest updates are done and posted on the web site. Due to popular demand I have updated the web site to allow multiple sports and descriptions to be posted on each point. This will allow users to review points differently for each sport as well.

Coming soon is the ability for any registered member to update any point on the web site. This will help our community of backcountry secreters to help keep information on the site up to date. Another feature that is coming soon is a tutorial on how to post data without a GPS unit.

If you have any requests for additional user ability on the site, please use the contact us link on the site and let us know!

Outdoor Sports | Hot Spots

I love sharing the outdoors and that is why Backcountry Secrets is my full-time hobby.

I only wish it was my full-time job.  I hope you have benefited from the information you have found on our site today.
