BACKCOUNTRY SKILLS

A common mistake new adventure seekers make is to go into a department store and buy a bunch of cheap gear and then have a miserable experience because their tents leak, sleeping bags aren't warm enough, and their cooking system just doesn't work.

We offer courses in backcountry living for the adventurer. With a minimalist approach we'll teach you everything you need to know about living comfortably in the backcounty without loading yourself down with uneccesary gear.
