Everywhere?

Aside from this blog, I’m all over the place, and I’d love to invite you to follow me everywhere else!

I run a hiking forum that’s free to join called Outdoor Adventure Topics

I’m on Facebook as Hiking with Shawn, and I have a local Southern Illinois Hiking & Outdoor Recreation group with more than 25,000 members.

I also have an Instagram Page

I’m on Twitter

Eagle Falls

I’m on TikTok

I have Patreon Page in case you want to support me further. You can also Buy Official Merch from my online shop if you wish.

And I’m on YouTube and would love it if you subscribed to me there!

And finally, the best way to know what’s going on with Hiking with Shawn is by subscribing to my free monthly newsletter.

Please Support Hiking with Shawn

Alrighty folks, I hope you have enjoyed this content. I provide it for free and it takes a while to create. If you would be so kind enough to support my efforts, you can do so by sharing this post with others, especially on social media. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to see my latest videos, shorts and live streams. Follow me on FacebookInstagramTwitter and TikTok for unique content that you will only find on those pages. You might also join my Southern Illinois Hiking & Outdoor Resources Group on Facebook, too!

You can also support me by becoming a Patreon Supporter for as little as $3/month and you can cancel anytime (no contracts or catches). Patreons get access to extra features, exclusive articles, sticker packs, gifts and more. Consider buying official Hiking with Shawn Merchandise as another way to support me. I spend a lot of money on Hiking with Shawn and because of extremely high public land permit fees, I make very little money in return so everything helps.

Thanks again for checking out another one of my articles and until next time, I’ll see you on the trail!
