Intro to backpacking - Learn what to pack
Details
If you have every been interested in what it takes to live comfortably in the woods for more than a day this is for you. I have hiked thousands of miles in all seasons and I will share with you what I have learned so you can pack well for your next adventure. This includes discussions on
- Clothing
- Shelter
- Sleeping gear
- Water Treatment
- Cooking equipment
- Other misc small items
This equipment is the foundation for almost all multi-day outdoor trips be it canoeing, backpacking, or cycle touring.
The weekend after this class there is a gentle backpacking trip posted. This trip will be an outside classroom to learn the skills needed to put your equipment to good use. This class fulfils some of the requirements for that trip. You are invited to attend the class even if you do not intend on coming on the trip.
Feel welcome to bring your own equipment and ask questions about it.
This class will last about 2 hours. Food and beverages can be purchased during the class.
