Missed our Backpacking Fundamentals trips this summer and looking to get out to learn or brush up on skills out on the trail? We’ve got you covered! Join us for our next Backpacking Fundamentals trip on Vermont’s Long Trail in October. Fall is pretty spectacular in New England and the foliage should be near peak 🍁, making for a breathtaking classroom for our learning intensive curriculum.

This trip and curriculum are designed to help you with everything you need to know so you can backpack safely and confidently on your own. They provide an emphasis on learning and practicing skills with low mileage each day and a slow pace in a fun, small group setting. Visit the link below to learn more about our Fundamentals trip* scheduled at Stratton Mountain and to join us.

Openness to nature: ✅

Some of my most memorable moments at camp have been under my favorite shelter system, the tarp. Tarps may require a little more skill than a tent, but they can be a lot of fun and become easier to setup over time with a little practice and getting out in various conditions. I’ve been getting quite a few questions over the last couple of months asking if I could put together another video sharing some more setups I like to use with my tarp. So I thought it would be fun to put together what I’m calling a “third installment” video showing a couple of additional ways that I like to setup my smaller ultralight tarp out on trail. For those interested refer to the link below to see the video (and check out the links in the description for that video to find links to the other two installments that I’ve shared in the past). Who else enjoys using a tarp out on the trail? What are some of your favorite setups?
