Novice Backpacking Workshop: 2021 Report

The annual Novice Backpacking Workshop, which will take place at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia, has a little something for anyone seeking to build their comfort level, skills repertoire, and essentials list for a night or nights out on a trail. The clinic starts with two nights camping not far from our vehicles, so attendees can set up camp with as much help as needed, and with some comforts typically left behind when backpacking.
