What a Great Year of Growth! As with previous years, during 2024 we continuously tracked our Hiking, Camping and Shooting (HCS) website traffic. Because 2024 just ended we wanted to share some of the yearly statistics with all of you so that you can see who our readers are, where they’re located and what they read. In 2024 our readership increased by 144% and came from 130 different Countries from around the world. During the year we really increased our international readership. Throughout the year 61% of our readers came from the United States and 39% came from the rest of the world. The largest concentrations outside the US were from the following 20 Countries:
  Once again, we had readers from all 50 of the United States - with the largest concentrations being in the following 20 States:
  In 2024 we saw an increase in the number of people reading our blog posts – something we like since it means that people are finding value in the original content that we generated over the year. The 35 pages and blog posts that people read the most during 2024 were:
As with last year, since we have readers from around the world - there is constant activity on the site during the day – with no single day really seeing significantly more readers than any other time; although there is slightly more traffic on Saturday and Sunday than the other days of the week.  Most of our readers find us either by searching on Google (67%) or by previously having been to our website and coming directly to us (28%). A smaller percentage (5%) find us through a wide variety of other sources to include our Hiking, Camping and Shooting Facebook page. It’s interesting to note that in 2024 the number or readers coming to our HCS website directly increased by 167% from 2023, and that the sheer number of sources other than Google had a correlated decrease from 46 to 41 as readers from all over the world searched for content that our website contains.  The majority of our users view our website from either their mobile device (50%) or their desktop computer (49%). In 2024 there was an 8% increase in the number of people reading our content on their desktop computers; perhaps due to the level of detail in our product descriptions and blog posts.  Hopefully this data shows you that in 2024 you were once again in good company as you read through our Hiking, Camping and Shooting gear write-ups and blog posts. We hope that they gave you some information that made all of your adventures a little more fun. Wherever you’re from, we’re glad that you stopped by to look over our HCS website and look forward to seeing you again in 2024 as we grow even larger and add more gear write-ups, blog posts and adventure photos.

Last Year We Continued to Grow – Again…. Like most websites, ever since we launched our Hiking, Camping and Shooting (HCS) website back in 2016 we’ve tracked the statistics to see who our readers are, where they’re located and what they read. Since 2022 recently finished we thought that we would share some of our latest statistics from the year with all of you. In 2022 our readership increased by 29% and came from 155 different Countries from around the world. This year we had another significant increase of readers coming from countries outside of the US – up 16% - but 61% or our readers still came from within the United States.

  We have readers from all 50 of the United States - with the largest concentrations being in the following 20 States:
  The 35 pages and blog posts that people read the most during 2022 were: In 2022 we saw a marked increase in the number of readers of our “Adventures” pages - where we show photographs of our travels around the world; probably because after all the craziness of the past two years people were ready to get outside and see the world in all its beauty again. Since we now have almost 40% of our readers from around the globe there is constant activity on the site during the day – with no single time span really seeing significantly more readers than any other time.  Most of our readers find us either by searching on Google (58%) or by previously having been to our website and coming directly to us - which increased from 13% to 29% this year due to the fact that our number of “returning readers” continues to increase. A much smaller percentage (12%) find us through other sources to include our Hiking, Camping and Shooting Facebook page.  The majority of our users view our website from either their mobile device (50%) or their desktop computer (47%) using either Chrome (58%) or Safari (30%) browsers.
Since we launched our website back in April 2016 we've had people from 171 different countries stop by, with 74% coming from the US and the other 26% from all over the World during those 6 ½ years. The top 25 international countries and the top 25 US States are:

  The 35 pages and blog posts that people read the most during 2021 were: Like 2020, in 2021 we had more page views on our "Shooting" pages than either our "Hiking" or "Camping" pages. Probably because of the craziness of 2021, and the fact that approximately 38.9 million new firearms were sold in the United States during the year. The majority of our users look at our website between the hours of 10:00 AM and 1:00 AM.  Most of our readers find us either by searching on Google (82%) or by previously having been to our website and coming directly to us (13%).

  The 25 pages and blog posts that people read the most during 2020 were: Unlike the previous two years, in 2020 we had far more page views on our "Shooting" pages than either our "Hiking" or "Camping" pages. Probably because of the craziness of 2020 and the fact that approximately 40 million new firearms were sold during the year. The majority of our users look at our website between the hours of 9:00 AM and 12:00 AM (midnight).  Most of our readers find us either by searching on Google (82%) or by previously having been to our website and coming directly to us (10%).
