Join Backcountry Women for an informal yet structured and unique learning opportunity. These gatherings are different from workshops even though set topics are discussed. These chats are a round-table discussion and an opportunity to share and learn from others. 

This event is open to Backcountry Women members only.

Ultralight, Light Enough, or Not Light At All.  Backpacking women and those who want to trek into wilderness with all your stuff on your back, how much does gear weight factor in to your plans?  Are you an ultralighter, hoping that your minimalistic pack weight makes the hike faster?  Are you a "pack everything but the kitchen sink" backpacker, hoping that all your stuff makes you very comfortable in camp?  Let's talk about weight, and the financial cost of shedding the pack pounds.
