Meet for Beers/Interest Session

I’m wanting to gauge interest for a potential local backpacking trip in May. If you’re not interested in backpacking but just want to come to have a drink and/or dinner, feel free to join for some backpacking or just general chitchat. At the very least you might learn something new or hear a fun story. (When you sign up you can note your interest regarding your preference.)

I’m planning to keep this trip beginner level, to make it more inviting to those who might be interested but are a little nervous. We can go over necessary gear and what to expect, along with potential dates and locations to consider that might be workable for those interested. This will just be a local backpacking excursion, no more than about an hour away from the Charlottesville area. I’m looking at one overnight, no more than about 10ish miles. Come prepared with any questions.

If you can’t make this gathering but are interested in a potential backpacking trip, contact me through the email in my profile here and I can relay any necessary information, and get information from you regarding your experience and the gear you have. You probably groaned when you saw it on a motivational poster at school, but it’s true, especially here: failing to prepare is preparing to fail. I’ve never heard anyone say, “I fondly remember the time I went backpacking and got sick from contaminated water. That made for some good memories.” I’m here to make sure you don’t have those kinds of memories -because I care about you, and your intestines.
Cheers!
