It’s Official! Matt Leef, aka BrewHiker, 1st to Hike “The Death Q”

March 4, 2018 – Matt Leef (BrewHiker on Instagram) starts the 811 mile hike around Death Valley guided by the Steven “Blast” Halteman book, “The Death Q.” Will he make it?

It’s an 811 mile hike through Death Vall;ey featured in Steven “Blast” Halteman’s book, The Death Q, which was recently published on Amazon here.

Matt Leef, known on Instagram and in the hiking world as BrewHiker is the first to complete the full hike since the book was published!

He’s been posting about it along the way and we’ll have a full story and his reactions to the book in the next few weeks.

(That is, if we can keep him off the trail long enough to take time for an interview!)

Way to go BrewHiker!

Matt Leef, the first hiker to make the entire 811 mile “Death Q” since the book was published! Congrats BrewHiker! We’ll tip a beer in your honor tonight!

The Death Q, My Guide to an 811 Mile Mojave Desert Hike, is Published!

It’s here!! After a couple years of writing, The Death Q is finally up and available on Amazon. The book is about a hike I created that circles Death Valley following abandoned railroads. The book is a mix of history, guide, detective work, how to, character biographies, fiction and memoir. Admittedly it as a labor of love about an obscure topic. But, hopefully, both the hiker and non-hiker will find it entertaining. Regardless, it is something I set out to do and did. And sometimes that alone is plenty.

Feel free to share the word if you know anyone that might have an interest in such endeavors. Here’s the link to the page on Amazon where you can buy the Paperback or a Kindle version. Share. Post. Click. Repeat. Oh, and get some good boots if you are going to try the hike.

Thanks!
