Intro to backpacking - Learn what to pack

If you have every been interested in what it takes to live comfortably in the woods for more than a day this is for you. We will cover what to pack for your adventure. This includes

1) Clothing
2) Shelter
3) Cooking equipment

This equipment is the foundation for almost all multi-day outdoor trips be it canoeing, backpacking, or cycle touring.

The weekend of October 21st there is a backpacking trip posted which will be an outside classroom to learn the skills needed to put that equipment to good use. Details can be found here http://www.meetup.com/KW-Backcountry/events/33439622/ . This class will be a requirement for that trip.

People are welcome to bring their own equipment and ask questions about it.

The clinic will take place at Zeke's, the same location as the monthly meetings, at 7PM and should take about 2 hours.
