BCO and REI present Backpacking 101 October 12, 2015 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM REI - 7538 Westheimer Rd (at Voss) Houston, TX 77063
Once you have mastered the basics of camping and hiking, the next outside step is backpacking! Imagine, after a day of hiking through forests, mountains & deserts, you get to relax in a remote campsite using only what you have brought in your backpack. Backpacking really is the ultimate way to get outside! Sound too difficult? It won't be, once you learn the basics in Backpacking 101.
We will review trip-planning tips, gear lists, what you REALLY need to bring, safety advice, and other essential wisdom nuggets every backpacker ought to know. There will also be backpacking fittings and demonstrations. Plus, show and tell on how to properly pack your backpack. Plus, we will also look at menus and water treatment options.
This evening we have a special guest panel of BCO Backpacking experts of all levels and travel experience, get ready to pick the minds of some serious backpackers!
