Backpacking really is the ultimate way to get outside!
Do you ever dream of sleeping under the stars, waking to the sound of nothing but nature as far as you can see. Imagine, after a day of hiking through forests, mountains & deserts, you get to relax in a remote campsite using only what you have brought in your backpack. Backpacking really is the ultimate way to get outside!
Sound too difficult?
It won't be, once you learn the basics in Backpacking 101.
We will review trip-planning tips, gear lists, what you REALLY need to bring, safety advice, and other essential wisdom nuggets every backpacker ought to know. There will also be backpacking fittings and demonstrations. Plus, show and tell on how to properly pack your backpack. We will also look at menus and water treatment options.
This evening we have special guest speakers & BCO Backpacking experts of all levels and travel experience. Get ready to pick the minds of some people with some serious knowledge!
