Regular Monthly REI Meeting: Let us shakedown your gear!
Details
Have you ever felt like your backpack was just too darn heavy?
Have you ever wondered why you brought a particular item on backpacking trip?
Have you never been backpacking, but wonder if you have everything you need?
Have you never experienced either of those things, but really just want to know if you need everything in your pack?
At this month's meeting, some of our organizers and more experienced members are offering to shake down your pack for you. Bring your loaded backpack and we'll gladly review the contents with you. Even if you don't have a pack you want to bring, come on out and watch and listen. You may pick up some tips you didn't know before.
Note: This is not a competition, or a judgemental exercise. Everyone has different styles of backpacking, and different goals for their trips. Our goal is to help people get maximum satisfaction and enjoyment out of their backpacking experience.
So, if you want us to shake down your pack, or you just want to watch and ask questions, come on out and join us!
*If you have some expertise and would like to volunteer to help with the shakedowns, please message me, either through Meetup, or directly at 931-267-9378.
I look forward to seeing everyone there!
