SUMMARY:Andrew Skurka-Lightweight Backpacking & Skills Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Lightweight backpacking is safer\, more comfortable\, less expensive\, and more fun than conventional/heavy backpacking. This clinic will demonstrate how and why. It will be given by distinguished long-distance backpacker Andrew Skurka\, a lightweight pioneer who has hiked 25\,000+ miles since 2002\; his most recent trip was a 4\,700-mile 6-month loop around Alaska and the Yukon. Clinic attendees will be given the knowledge and skills to go on a 3-day 3-season backpacking trip with no more than 20 pounds of gear and food (sans water). The clinic begins with a big-picture discussion about lightweight backpacking: why go light\, core principals\, steps to lighten up\, etc. A show-and-tell of lightweight gear follows -- Skurka will demo an assortment of packs\, shelters\, stoves\, clothing\, and more. To finish\, the audience assembles a single lightweight kit that is applicable to the environmental conditions and trip objectives most common on their trips. 2 hours from start to finish. This time goes by fast: the presentation is filled with discussions and demonstrations.
