How to Select the Right Backpacking Gear for YOU!
March 9, 2021
7:00pm - 9:00pm (EST)
-
Some hikers wear trail running shoes while others sport above the ankle boots, some hikers sleep under a tarp while others prefer a spacious tent, some hikers cook their food on a camp stove and other choose to cold soak their dinner. There is no "right" or "wrong" gear, only options. So how do you decide exactly which gear to bring along with you? In this Zoom video workshop, you'll learn the ins-and-outs of backpacking gear and which is the right fit for your needs.
This workshop will have anywhere from 2 to 6 people on the video call, making it a collaborative event rooted in group discussion. Workshop instructor Carly Moree will share her personal stories and insight while also welcoming questions and group conversation throughout the call.
