Follow the road around to your right. We will be meeting in the grassy field near the side parking area. Bring a camping chair.

The curriculum focuses on  the basic knowledge and resources needed to  begin fastpacking safely and with confidence. This session will address gear, clothing, adaption of the classic ten essentials. We will set up various shelters including cottage brand tents and off the shelf tents and hammocks. Participants will be able to try pitching these tents, touching the fabric, and get an idea of capacity of various fastpacks.
