Backpacking 201: The Learning Continues & Overnight Camping at Tosohatchee WMA

Are you a backpacker who likes to hang out with fellow backpackers and learn new skills?

Please join us for our 7th Annual Backpacking 201: The Learning Continues event.

We will continue to discuss some of the basics of backpacking and even get some day hiking in over the course of Saturday and Sunday.

This is an OVERNIGHT camping event. Make sure that you bring your own camping gear, water, snacks, and food for 4 meals (lunch & dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday.) You will be able to store all of your food and water in your vehicle so bring a cooler if you want. Saturday's lunch will be "on trail" so please plan accordingly.

If you are interested and the event is full, sign up for the wait list. You will most likely get moved "to going" closer to the event date as folks sign up and then drop out.

VETERAN BACKPACKERS: You are welcome to attend! It is always good to have multiple veteran backpackers participate so that we can share our knowledge, passion and lessons learned!

PREVIOUS 201 ATTENDEES: You are welcome to attend but keep in mind that it is going to be very similar to our previous Backpacking 201 events with a few tweaks.

The Details:
• Please Note: All interested folks will be put on an initial waiting list and will be added as room allows. Priority will be given to the folks who attended one our previous Backpacking 101 events held over the last six years.
• We will meet inside the management area at the Kiosk at 8:15 A.M. where we will each fill out the access pass and include the $3.00 per person camping fee. Folks who are 65 and older, Military or disabled are free.
• We will be primitive camping close to our vehicles in Tosohatchee’s youth sites. Since we will be so close to our vehicles (about 100 yards), backpacking gear is not required, only car camping gear.
• We will have access to a picnic table, charcoal grill, and fire ring. Don’t forget your camp chair and firewood, if you have any.
• We will also have access to a pavilion and a vault toilet.
• Saturday and Sunday will consist of various backpacking topics & short hikes scheduled throughout the day.
We hope to see you there!
