Absolute Basics for Backpacking: Graduation Trip! Dates TBD by Attendees!

Congrats to our Backpacking Graduates! Time for your trip! 

This trip is open to people who have completed the full backpacking series. We will not allow attendees who have not attended the entire series.

This course is a part of our backpacking and bikepacking series! We at Gearhouse want to get as many different kinds of people outside, so we’re running a series to teach you absolutely everything you’d need to know to get out into the backcountry. We'll talk how to pack a bike, gear, trail selection, weight (you don’t need to be ultralight to have a lighter pack!), food, safety: we will cover it all. At the end of this series, you’ll be confident in your skills to get you and your friends out on the trail, and we'll plan a trip to put your knowledge to the test.
