i think you need a certain mindset to be comfortable in the wilderness. some people get into camping but dont quite get it, and feel like they need more home like goodies. they are your target market i think.
bushcraft school, trekking school, ... what's up with all these outdoors schools nowadays? can't anybody think on their own anymore or what, just buy sum basic gear, put on boots and go
@nephildevil Well some places, like Yellowstone or Denali, the Rangers want to make sure that you know what you are doing, so by taking these courses it adds to your backcountry resume, so to speak. But it's also about meeting new people, and when you have a bunch of like minded people getting together, it helps.
Squirrel, I know what you mean, I used to think these lightweight guys were a bunch of yuppie fags, but not anymore. Sometimes they go too far in their quest for lightweight gear, but believe me, when you get to be my age (62), you will appreciate every oz saved.
It looks and sounds like a beautiful experience. I wish you and your school all the best. Perhaps, someday, my family and I can travel to Yellowstone and learn about backpacking light.
if you know what your doing all you need to survive in he wilderness is a few tools e.g knive hatchet things of that nature (pun intended) food and water can almost always be fond and shelter can always be made
its this domino effect thing that we have been engrained in. now with geniuses like the CEO of backpacking light, we are shifting into a phase of more lightweight backpacking trends.
guys, i'm looking please for a poncho i can roll up and not be so big in the pocket or massively heavy and it should llok and behave like quality. money not an option but i don't want a silnylon mega mega lightweight blow away it this is for scotland and north wales (the rockes) kit so it must be tough but sturdy. money no object for good gear
I use a rip stop nylon poncho. It's about 90 inches by 60inches. They are light and tough. A good one in the U.S. costs about 40 dollars. Check and see what you military uses and that will probabley be good.
great music, great video, life is good!!
