Welcome to Hike For Life

Hike For Life's mission is to make products that will be appealing, and provide functionality for active people. We exist to create a bridge between active wear and fashionable clothing. We are created by life's passions for the outdoors. Hike For Life at its core is built on hiking, but the ideas and feelings inspired by climbing mountains can originate from anything. The broad spectrum encompasses biking, running, swimming, rock climbing, ice climbing, skiing, walking through the woods, and countless other activities. We don't care what you do; as long as you're outside, thoughtfully embracing it, and having fun! Hike For Life, Built On Passion.

Hike For Life is a supporter of pretty much any hiking trail and park, but locally the White Mountain National Forest is our home woods. There is much love for this land, so money will be donated to organizations associated with this national forest. One of our goals is to be able to give money for maintenance expenses, tools, and any other expenses attached to preserving this environment.

The Company was started by me, Derek Skillings in 2009. NH is an awesome place to live, the mountains in NH have inspired a new love for something I've never experienced. The phrase was coined back in 2007, but never really expanded on. I am currently pursuing the 48-4000 foot mountains in New Hampshire. Life's not a race. Since 2006, 40 of the 4kers have been climbed. Thus far, the hikes have mainly stayed in the whites, but bigger mountains are in the future. Luckily I have found a new passion, the mountains, in my backyard. I try to get up north as often as possible. Solitude in the woods is a great feeling, but sharing it with others is something I would always welcome.

I work for Skillings & Sons Inc, a family owned water well contracting company in Amherst, NH. Geothermal heating and cooling, well drilling, water treatment, and pump services are some of the duties this company performs. Skillings & Sons is a leading provider of geothermal well drilling in the New England area. They have adapted with the industrial trends in home building, and innovations in heating and cooling methods to remain a common household name for contractors, home owners, and businesses.
