Description
Learn the skills to have your own Wilderness Backpacking Adventures!
Join this one of a kind online school to learn survival skills, physical fitness, wilderness navigation and permits required to hike and camp in the most beautiful places in the USA. Join us with over 4 hours of video showcasing technical skills and training to tame and navigate the wilderness.
There are many ways to backpack; so take your time and figure out what is best FOR YOU as you learn the skills in this course. If you only feel comfortable doing a 5 hour hike and practicing some knots, AWESOME. If you feel like spending the night at the local National Forest Campground, GREAT. If you want to do a 5 day mountain climbing adventure, EXCELLENT.
You decide how you proceed, don't let anyone pressure you into thinking you are doing too much or too little. The purpose is to connect with nature, share with friends and family, enjoy new skills and challenge yourself to become better.
There is no rush, although you can quickly get the benefits of backpacking, this is a lifelong endeavor, so sit back, learn a ton and enjoy the ride!
Also, don't miss our adventure breakdown series where we go over our own wilderness adventures and take you in a first look into a wilderness backpacking trip. See you there!
