It can be tough as a newcomer to the outdoor scene, and backpacking is no different. There is a big jump in knowledge and skills that needs to happen when you make the switch from day hiking to overnight backpacking. This is why I wrote Backpacking 101: to help you get comfortable with the gear and the skills that you need to enjoy your time in the backcountry.
How much food do I bring?
What gear do I need?
Where should my first trip be?
How do I pack my backpack?
The list of beginner questions goes on and on, and I get it. This is why I wrote an entire book on the topic, geared towards backpacking for beginners. My goal was to include everything needed to get you started so that you feel confident, prepared, and ready to hit the trail and have some fun!
