Discover a convenient way to get your hiking essentials delivered to your trailhead
Our team of outdoor enthusiasts is excited to announce the upcoming launch of our new online resupply service for hikers!
We know firsthand how frustrating it can be to plan for a backpacking trip. You have to make sure you have everything you need, pack it all up, and then lug it all on your back. Not to mention, finding the right supplies can be difficult and time-consuming, especially if you live far from a hiking supply store.
That’s where we come in. Our online resupply service for hikers allows you to easily order the essentials you need for your trip and have them delivered right to your trailhead. No more rushing around town to find gear or worrying about forgetting something crucial.

Meet The Team
Jimi Diaz (Batman)
Director
Hey, I’m Jimi Diaz, but out on the trails, I go by Batman. At Trail Blaze Supply, I bring together my two decades of web design expertise with a serious passion for hiking. My adventures have taken me through the Appalachian Trail in 2021 and more recently, the Florida Trail in January 2023. On the Florida Trail, I gained a new hiking partner – an American Dingo named Seminole, who just decided to join me and now lives with me and Ayla, my 11-year-old pitbull.
Combining my tech skills with my love for the trails, I’m all about making Trail Blaze Supply a place where usability meets the needs of the hiking community. From user-friendly designs to spot-on resupply solutions, I’m putting everything I know and love about the outdoors into this venture. It’s about sharing the spirit of the trail and making sure every hiker’s experience is as incredible as mine.
Jimi Diaz, a seasoned web designer and avid outdoorsman, brings over two decades of digital expertise and a passion for hiking to Trail Blaze Supply. As a 2021 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker, 2023 Florida Trail Thru-Hiker, and computer enthusiast, Jimi uniquely blends technical know-how with a deep understanding of the hiker’s journey. His commitment to enhancing the trail experience shines through in every aspect of Trail Blaze Supply, from user-friendly design to tailored resupply solutions
Jerry Campese (Crisis)
Director
I’m Crisis if you catch me on the trail. Longing for the outdoor lifestyle of my youth, combined with the pressures of my corporate career and the stresses of my personal relationships, all led me to a pivotal moment in early 2018. Standing in the freezing rain, with my feet pointed north, I took my first steps on the Appalachian Trail. That moment forever changed my life. It kick-started a hiking habit that has led me to log over 10,000 miles in multiple countries and, most importantly, it brought back the smile that had been missing for so long.
Nearing the end of the Florida Trail thru-hike, and around a campfire, Jimi Diaz (also known as Batman) and I, feeling grateful for where our hiking lives began, jointly conceived a plan for Trailblaze Supply Co. We envisioned a platform to not only help experienced hikers like ourselves alleviate some of the planning stress but also to assist first-time backpackers in navigating their initial forays into the hiking world.
