SUMMARY:SNOWSHOE - Flatbed/Bullmoose Falls
DESCRIPTION:JOIN HERE\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									A two-hour webinar for all who want to pack smarter\, move lighter\, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Date: Wed\, May 20 Time: 7 – 9 PM MST Where: Zoom · $25 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe\, confident\, and present in the backcountry.” 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why backpacking mattersThere is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so\, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance\, mental resilience\, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate. For some\, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace\, make the decisions\, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views\, seeking solitude\, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why gear is the foundationGear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm\, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate\, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable\, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from. Understanding your gear — what it does\, why you chose it\, and how it works together as a system — gives you something no amount of expensive equipment can buy: the ability to make good decisions in the field. That knowledge travels with you on every trip\, in every season\, for the rest of your backpacking life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why a webinar like this is worth your timeMost gear advice online is overwhelming\, gear-brand sponsored\, or written for a general audience that doesn’t reflect your experience\, your body\, or where you actually hike. Two hours with a professional guide who has carried these systems through Northern BC conditions — and who can answer your actual questions in real time — is worth more than hours of scrolling through reviews and Reddit threads. A focused\, well-designed learning session like this one gives you a framework you’ll return to again and again. As your experience grows\, your gear evolves — and the way you think about what goes in your pack will evolve with it. This webinar is not a one-time fix. It is a starting point for a lifetime of better trips. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What we’ll coverMost people approach gear as a list to check off. This webinar reframes it as decision-making — because what you carry and why shapes your entire experience on the trail. We’ll walk through the Big 4 core systems (shelter\, sleep\, pack\, and food)\, the gear categories that round out a well-built kit\, the most common mistakes — and how to avoid them — and how to start building a gear list based on your experience level and goals. Sara will be showing her actual gear live during the session. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Who this is forWhether you’re brand new to backpacking or you’ve done a few trips and want to refine your kit\, this webinar meets you where you are. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by gear choices — or wondered if you’re carrying too much — this is the night to tune in. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What you’ll walk away with A simple gear checklist\, a PDF of the presentation\, and a clearer sense of how to evaluate every item in your pack — before your next trip and for every trip after. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Meet your speakerSLSara Laing IGA Professional Interpretive Hiking Guide · ACMG Hiking Guide · Peak Wyld Co. Sara brings years of experience guiding in the Northern Rockies to this conversation. She’s the kind of guide who thinks deeply about what’s in her pack and why — and she’s here to help you do the same. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Sara is a certified IGA 4-Season Professional Hiking Guide and ACMG Hiking Guide\, freshly rooted in Tumbler Ridge\, BC after years of guiding in the Canadian Rockies. She doesn’t just lead hikes — she opens people’s eyes to the world beneath their boots and above the treeline. Wildflowers\, geology\, ecosystems\, the quiet stories the land tells if you slow down enough to listen. She’s the kind of guide who turns a ridge walk into a full-on education — all woven into an experience that sticks with you long after your boots are off. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									JOIN HERE

DESCRIPTION:JOIN HERE\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									A two-hour webinar for all who want to pack smarter\, move lighter\, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Date: Wed\, May 20 Time: 7 – 9 PM MST Where: Zoom · $25 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe\, confident\, and present in the backcountry.” 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why backpacking mattersThere is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so\, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance\, mental resilience\, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate. For some\, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace\, make the decisions\, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views\, seeking solitude\, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why gear is the foundationGear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm\, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate\, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable\, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from.

SUMMARY:Summit Peak Trail
DESCRIPTION:JOIN HERE\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									A two-hour webinar for all who want to pack smarter\, move lighter\, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Date: Wed\, May 20 Time: 7 – 9 PM MST Where: Zoom · $25 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe\, confident\, and present in the backcountry.” 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why backpacking mattersThere is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so\, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance\, mental resilience\, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate. For some\, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace\, make the decisions\, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views\, seeking solitude\, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why gear is the foundationGear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm\, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate\, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable\, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from. Understanding your gear — what it does\, why you chose it\, and how it works together as a system — gives you something no amount of expensive equipment can buy: the ability to make good decisions in the field. That knowledge travels with you on every trip\, in every season\, for the rest of your backpacking life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why a webinar like this is worth your timeMost gear advice online is overwhelming\, gear-brand sponsored\, or written for a general audience that doesn’t reflect your experience\, your body\, or where you actually hike. Two hours with a professional guide who has carried these systems through Northern BC conditions — and who can answer your actual questions in real time — is worth more than hours of scrolling through reviews and Reddit threads. A focused\, well-designed learning session like this one gives you a framework you’ll return to again and again. As your experience grows\, your gear evolves — and the way you think about what goes in your pack will evolve with it. This webinar is not a one-time fix. It is a starting point for a lifetime of better trips. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What we’ll coverMost people approach gear as a list to check off. This webinar reframes it as decision-making — because what you carry and why shapes your entire experience on the trail. We’ll walk through the Big 4 core systems (shelter\, sleep\, pack\, and food)\, the gear categories that round out a well-built kit\, the most common mistakes — and how to avoid them — and how to start building a gear list based on your experience level and goals. Sara will be showing her actual gear live during the session. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Who this is forWhether you’re brand new to backpacking or you’ve done a few trips and want to refine your kit\, this webinar meets you where you are. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by gear choices — or wondered if you’re carrying too much — this is the night to tune in. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What you’ll walk away with A simple gear checklist\, a PDF of the presentation\, and a clearer sense of how to evaluate every item in your pack — before your next trip and for every trip after. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Meet your speakerSLSara Laing IGA Professional Interpretive Hiking Guide · ACMG Hiking Guide · Peak Wyld Co. Sara brings years of experience guiding in the Northern Rockies to this conversation. She’s the kind of guide who thinks deeply about what’s in her pack and why — and she’s here to help you do the same. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Sara is a certified IGA 4-Season Professional Hiking Guide and ACMG Hiking Guide\, freshly rooted in Tumbler Ridge\, BC after years of guiding in the Canadian Rockies. She doesn’t just lead hikes — she opens people’s eyes to the world beneath their boots and above the treeline. Wildflowers\, geology\, ecosystems\, the quiet stories the land tells if you slow down enough to listen. She’s the kind of guide who turns a ridge walk into a full-on education — all woven into an experience that sticks with you long after your boots are off. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									JOIN HERE

SUMMARY:Toad River Retreat ~ Mar. 18-21\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:JOIN HERE\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									A two-hour webinar for all who want to pack smarter\, move lighter\, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Date: Wed\, May 20 Time: 7 – 9 PM MST Where: Zoom · $25 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe\, confident\, and present in the backcountry.” 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why backpacking mattersThere is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so\, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance\, mental resilience\, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate. For some\, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace\, make the decisions\, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views\, seeking solitude\, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why gear is the foundationGear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm\, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate\, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable\, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from. Understanding your gear — what it does\, why you chose it\, and how it works together as a system — gives you something no amount of expensive equipment can buy: the ability to make good decisions in the field. That knowledge travels with you on every trip\, in every season\, for the rest of your backpacking life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why a webinar like this is worth your timeMost gear advice online is overwhelming\, gear-brand sponsored\, or written for a general audience that doesn’t reflect your experience\, your body\, or where you actually hike. Two hours with a professional guide who has carried these systems through Northern BC conditions — and who can answer your actual questions in real time — is worth more than hours of scrolling through reviews and Reddit threads. A focused\, well-designed learning session like this one gives you a framework you’ll return to again and again. As your experience grows\, your gear evolves — and the way you think about what goes in your pack will evolve with it. This webinar is not a one-time fix. It is a starting point for a lifetime of better trips. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What we’ll coverMost people approach gear as a list to check off.

DESCRIPTION:JOIN HERE\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									A two-hour webinar for all who want to pack smarter\, move lighter\, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Date: Wed\, May 20 Time: 7 – 9 PM MST Where: Zoom · $25 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe\, confident\, and present in the backcountry.” 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why backpacking mattersThere is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so\, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance\, mental resilience\, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate. For some\, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace\, make the decisions\, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views\, seeking solitude\, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why gear is the foundationGear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm\, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate\, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable\, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from. Understanding your gear — what it does\, why you chose it\, and how it works together as a system — gives you something no amount of expensive equipment can buy: the ability to make good decisions in the field. That knowledge travels with you on every trip\, in every season\, for the rest of your backpacking life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why a webinar like this is worth your timeMost gear advice online is overwhelming\, gear-brand sponsored\, or written for a general audience that doesn’t reflect your experience\, your body\, or where you actually hike. Two hours with a professional guide who has carried these systems through Northern BC conditions — and who can answer your actual questions in real time — is worth more than hours of scrolling through reviews and Reddit threads. A focused\, well-designed learning session like this one gives you a framework you’ll return to again and again. As your experience grows\, your gear evolves — and the way you think about what goes in your pack will evolve with it. This webinar is not a one-time fix. It is a starting point for a lifetime of better trips. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What we’ll coverMost people approach gear as a list to check off. This webinar reframes it as decision-making — because what you carry and why shapes your entire experience on the trail. We’ll walk through the Big 4 core systems (shelter\, sleep\, pack\, and food)\, the gear categories that round out a well-built kit\, the most common mistakes — and how to avoid them — and how to start building a gear list based on your experience level and goals. Sara will be showing her actual gear live during the session. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Who this is forWhether you’re brand new to backpacking or you’ve done a few trips and want to refine your kit\, this webinar meets you where you are. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by gear choices — or wondered if you’re carrying too much — this is the night to tune in. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What you’ll walk away with A simple gear checklist\, a PDF of the presentation\, and a clearer sense of how to evaluate every item in your pack — before your next trip and for every trip after. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Meet your speakerSLSara Laing IGA Professional Interpretive Hiking Guide · ACMG Hiking Guide · Peak Wyld Co. Sara brings years of experience guiding in the Northern Rockies to this conversation. She’s the kind of guide who thinks deeply about what’s in her pack and why — and she’s here to help you do the same. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Sara is a certified IGA 4-Season Professional Hiking Guide and ACMG Hiking Guide\, freshly rooted in Tumbler Ridge\, BC after years of guiding in the Canadian Rockies. She doesn’t just lead hikes — she opens people’s eyes to the world beneath their boots and above the treeline. Wildflowers\, geology\, ecosystems\, the quiet stories the land tells if you slow down enough to listen. She’s the kind of guide who turns a ridge walk into a full-on education — all woven into an experience that sticks with you long after your boots are off. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									JOIN HERE

SUMMARY:Wild Women Take The North\, July 19-27\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:JOIN HERE\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									A two-hour webinar for all who want to pack smarter\, move lighter\, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Date: Wed\, May 20 Time: 7 – 9 PM MST Where: Zoom · $25 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe\, confident\, and present in the backcountry.” 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why backpacking mattersThere is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so\, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance\, mental resilience\, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate. For some\, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace\, make the decisions\, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views\, seeking solitude\, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why gear is the foundationGear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm\, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate\, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable\, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from. Understanding your gear — what it does\, why you chose it\, and how it works together as a system — gives you something no amount of expensive equipment can buy: the ability to make good decisions in the field. That knowledge travels with you on every trip\, in every season\, for the rest of your backpacking life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why a webinar like this is worth your timeMost gear advice online is overwhelming\, gear-brand sponsored\, or written for a general audience that doesn’t reflect your experience\, your body\, or where you actually hike. Two hours with a professional guide who has carried these systems through Northern BC conditions — and who can answer your actual questions in real time — is worth more than hours of scrolling through reviews and Reddit threads. A focused\, well-designed learning session like this one gives you a framework you’ll return to again and again. As your experience grows\, your gear evolves — and the way you think about what goes in your pack will evolve with it. This webinar is not a one-time fix. It is a starting point for a lifetime of better trips. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What we’ll coverMost people approach gear as a list to check off.

DESCRIPTION:JOIN HERE\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									A two-hour webinar for all who want to pack smarter\, move lighter\, and feel genuinely confident in the backcountry. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Date: Wed\, May 20 Time: 7 – 9 PM MST Where: Zoom · $25 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									“Backpacking gear isn’t about having the best or the lightest — it’s about having the right tools to feel safe\, confident\, and present in the backcountry.” 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why backpacking mattersThere is something that shifts in you when you carry everything you need on your back and walk into the wilderness. Backpacking strips things down to what is essential — and in doing so\, it has a way of reminding you what you are made of. It builds physical endurance\, mental resilience\, and a relationship with the natural world that day hikes simply can’t replicate. For some\, stepping into the backcountry with confidence is powerful. It is a space where you set the pace\, make the decisions\, and discover what you are capable of when the trail gets hard. Whether you are chasing alpine views\, seeking solitude\, or building community around a campfire — backpacking opens doors that stay open for life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why gear is the foundationGear is not just equipment — it is the difference between a trip that breaks you down and one that builds you up. The wrong shelter in a rainstorm\, a sleeping pad that doesn’t insulate\, boots that weren’t tested before a long approach — these things don’t just make a trip uncomfortable\, they can compromise your safety and your confidence in ways that take time to recover from. Understanding your gear — what it does\, why you chose it\, and how it works together as a system — gives you something no amount of expensive equipment can buy: the ability to make good decisions in the field. That knowledge travels with you on every trip\, in every season\, for the rest of your backpacking life. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Why a webinar like this is worth your timeMost gear advice online is overwhelming\, gear-brand sponsored\, or written for a general audience that doesn’t reflect your experience\, your body\, or where you actually hike. Two hours with a professional guide who has carried these systems through Northern BC conditions — and who can answer your actual questions in real time — is worth more than hours of scrolling through reviews and Reddit threads. A focused\, well-designed learning session like this one gives you a framework you’ll return to again and again. As your experience grows\, your gear evolves — and the way you think about what goes in your pack will evolve with it. This webinar is not a one-time fix. It is a starting point for a lifetime of better trips. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What we’ll coverMost people approach gear as a list to check off. This webinar reframes it as decision-making — because what you carry and why shapes your entire experience on the trail. We’ll walk through the Big 4 core systems (shelter\, sleep\, pack\, and food)\, the gear categories that round out a well-built kit\, the most common mistakes — and how to avoid them — and how to start building a gear list based on your experience level and goals. Sara will be showing her actual gear live during the session. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Who this is forWhether you’re brand new to backpacking or you’ve done a few trips and want to refine your kit\, this webinar meets you where you are. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by gear choices — or wondered if you’re carrying too much — this is the night to tune in. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									What you’ll walk away with A simple gear checklist\, a PDF of the presentation\, and a clearer sense of how to evaluate every item in your pack — before your next trip and for every trip after. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Meet your speakerSLSara Laing IGA Professional Interpretive Hiking Guide · ACMG Hiking Guide · Peak Wyld Co. Sara brings years of experience guiding in the Northern Rockies to this conversation. She’s the kind of guide who thinks deeply about what’s in her pack and why — and she’s here to help you do the same. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Sara is a certified IGA 4-Season Professional Hiking Guide and ACMG Hiking Guide\, freshly rooted in Tumbler Ridge\, BC after years of guiding in the Canadian Rockies. She doesn’t just lead hikes — she opens people’s eyes to the world beneath their boots and above the treeline. Wildflowers\, geology\, ecosystems\, the quiet stories the land tells if you slow down enough to listen. She’s the kind of guide who turns a ridge walk into a full-on education — all woven into an experience that sticks with you long after your boots are off. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									JOIN HERE
