WHAT: In an effort to build the outdoor community here in Reno, we are hosting monthly skills clinics! Our goal is to break down barriers of entry, create safe spaces for questions and learning, and a place to meet like minded adventurers!
As the snow melts off, and you're getting stir crazy about how to get into the mountains, we'll be chatting all things "first backpacking trip".
Some of the topic's we'll be covering include:
Packing check list
10 essentials and first aid kits
Water purification options
The triangle of camp
Easy meal options
Bear awareness
Apparel
Sleep systems
Recommended first trips
Permitting
... and there will be plenty of time for questions!
Also joining the conversation is Laura from YSP Adventures. Laura is LNT 101, Backcountry and Effective Communications certified. She'll be chatting all things "Leave No Trace", to ensure we're respecting the land we recreate on!
Please RSVP if you plan on attending so we can plan for space and snacks! $5 suggested donation (Never required! Our goal is to keep these events accessible!)
**Note - this event is designed for anyone who has not camped or backpacked before! If you have backpacked, we'll be talking about a lot of entry level topics.
