Topics will include selecting pieces of gear (cooking/food, water filters, stoves, tents, canoes, packs for hiking, biking, and paddling), learning about "minimalist" backpacking, how to "pack" a backpack, trail safety, , first aid, staying comfortable, and backcountry ethics such as "leave no trace".

The Central Wilderness Club is a not-for-profit volunteer-run club founded for the purpose of providing reasonably priced backpacking, hiking, canoeing/rafting, biking, cross-country skiing d and other wilderness adventures for members.  Membership is open to anyone with a real interest in the outdoors.
