We are cautiously proceeding, allowing only a small number of participants at each event. We will need your cooperation in only signing up for events you can truly commit to attending. If you miss out on registering please get yourself registered on the waitlist. We also ask for everyone's cooperation and patience as we all adjust! Please see our policy and safety practices here.

DEADLINE TO REGISTER: BY MIDNIGHT, 1 DAY BEFORE THE EVENT (JULY 8)

Join Backcountry Women and Wilderness Supply for an evening workshop to learn about the Ten Essentials of Hiking and preparedness for your next hike! 

This list of essential items to carry on a hike was created to answer two questions: can you respond positively to an accident or emergency and can you safely spend a night on the trail if you became lost or injured? Come learn about different gear that can be used to round out the Ten Essentials in your backpack and why each essential is important to carry.

Participants will receive a Ten Essentials digital handout.
