The Joy of Backpacking · Apr 15 by Kurt Peterson
One of my favorite programs I’ve had the pleasure of developing begins this Thursday, April 17th—our Backpacking 101 classes. Each Thursday at 7pm for four weeks in our stores you can learn all about the joys of hiking and backpacking, what gear works best for you, and a slew of little tricks and tips from our experienced staff.
The Backpacking 201 classes focus more on the skills to keep you safe and be comfortable. We’ll cover the basics of Leave No Trace ethics, wilderness safety, lightweight gear and techniques, and planning for your trips along with the basics of navigation and map reading.
If you live in the Richmond area and Thursday evenings don’t work for you, our Glen Allen staff is teaching their Backpacking 101 & 201 classes on Saturday mornings at 11am.
So call the stores to sign up, and we’ll see you there!
