We will meet in front of the Mountaineers Event Center at 1 pm. We will walk to Kite Hill where we will practice setting up our systems.
Come dressed in your hiking clothes and packs filled with what you have for the day. We will set up camp, prep a meal or make coffee/tea, filter water, and get an overall sense of how long it takes you to set up/take down, and get an opportunity to test out gear before your first trip!
We will be outdoors the entire time, so keep track of weather and dress appropriately.
Required Equipment
Bring your gear: whether rented, borrowed or otherwise. Include your first aid kits, clothes, systems, etc., as if you will be going on a full overnight trip!
