Absolute Basics for Backpacking (Part 3 of 4)

Backpacking season is coming up, and we can hardly wait! We at Gearhouse want to get as many different kinds of people out on the trail, so we’re running a series to teach you absolutely everything you’d need to know to get out into the backcountry. 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. 

We’re donating one 80% discounted slot for this series to a traditionally underrepresented backpacker. If you’re a person of color, female, LBGT, or otherwise underrepresented on the trails, shoot an email to hello@joingearhouse.com talking about what you’d get out of this series.
