What to pack for a winter trip

Love spending time in the outdoors. Do you want to keep going through the winter. Maybe you went a trip in high school and you are just getting feeling back in your toes. ;)

If you are interested in extending your outdoor travel into winter this is the class for you, and I promise your toes will be fine.

This is the first part of a two part course. In this we will be talking mostly about the clothing and equipment you will need to have a successful winter backpacking trip in Southern Ontario, i.e. what you need to buy and carry to travel safely and comfortably.

In part two we will go out into the woods and and learn the skills needed to stay warm and travel. That trip will happen on weekend of Feb 5th. You must attend this class to be eligible to join the trip.

This course assumes you have prior experience and familiarity with summer backpacking. All are welcome but those who are not already be comfortable and competent hiking on multi-day trips alone will find some of the content incomplete or confusing. This event will focus on talking about those things that are different in winter. There will not be time to cover basic skills and knowledge.

There will be time afterwards to ask questions and look at example gear.

There will be a sample packed bag to look at.

Please support McCabes who offers there space to us by purchasing a drink or meal.

See you there.
