*This MeetUp is a video conference call*
February 27th, 6:30PM-7:30PM
Hi Backpackers of all levels! Please join us for a video MeetUp geared towards helping our “beginners” prep gear for backpacking!
During this video conference, experienced backpackers of all levels will be available to discuss primary concerns related to gearing up for upcoming trips. Discussion points include:
- Packs
- Clothing/Shoes
- Sleeping Gear
- Shelter
- Food
- Cookware
- Water
- Situational Awareness
- Attitude
We request that any beginners become aware of (and carry) the 10 Essentials before committing to any beginner’s backpacking trips. Due to time constraints, we cannot go over these in detail during this video conference. We will host a bonfire in March where we can cover these essentials in the detail they deserve.
