A fun few days out on the . Some time spent solo and some spent with others, including some of the trail locals. The tree pollen was so thick at times it looked like someone was pouring a powdered juice mix from the sky. Conditions ranged from full on sun and mid 70s temps to below freezing with 35-45 mph winds thanks to a cold front pulling down from the north. A significant rain also made for the perfect opportunity to get the homemade rain jacket out and put some more miles in it, but the jacket works beautifully as a windblock and heat retention mechanism too.

Gearing up for some time on the trail with a rare cold snap for this time of the year. Getting out with some old favorites and some homemade gear including a homemade rain jacket. 🌧️ 🏕️

The homemade rainshell is a prototype that I’ve been testing on the trail lately. It is made of a 15D sil-poly membrane, a waterproof YKK full length front zip, and waterproof YKK pit zips for mechanical ventilation. I also made it with an adjustable hood, adjustable waist, and adjustable wrist cuffs. Fully seam sealed, great packability and very lightweight at under 4 oz. One of the lightest waterproof rain jackets around. Perfect for wet, windy, cool conditions.

Some images from another fun spring group Backpacking Fundamentals trip. This one brought us back to Rhode Island’s North South Trail for our second year offering this trip on this gem of a long distance trail in New England. It was a blast going through our curriculum out here while experiencing all of the northeast’s quick changing weather. During this trip topics included wildlife precautions and how to handle encounters, map and compass, water quality assessment and treatment, campsite selection, layering and temperature regulation, gear fabric comparisons, cold soaking and cooking, bear bag hanging, Leave No Trace and much more.

Looking to get into backpacking and not sure where to start? Our Backpacking Fundamentals trip curriculum blends indoor coursework with time out on the trail in a small group setting for skills training and field experience tailored to suit your personal goals and objectives. We’ll cover everything from trip planning, the big three, current gear options out there, tips & tricks to help you lower your baseweight, the aforementioned topics near the beginning of this post and much more. Whether you’re new to everything or experienced and just looking to brush up on topics and the current gear/fabric trends, these trips have something for everyone. We have some upcoming in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and on Vermont’s Long Trail.

Hello, old friend. Currently spending time out on the North South Trail, Rhode Island’s 78 mile long distance hiking trail. The spring flora is filling in and it feels great to be out here. Couldn’t help but get out with the blaze orange homemade pack for this one. The perfect opportunity considering it is hunting season here in the Ocean State.

Where are you out enjoying the trail?
