About Basic Backpacking Field Trips
The Basic Backpacking Field Trip, or "student backpack", is the final scheduled activity of the Basic Backpacking Course. For most students it will be their first overnight trip in the backcountry. Student backpacks are usually single-night trips along Easy or Moderate routes that do not present any unusual technical challenges.
