About Me
Why I Made This Course
I believe anyone can backpack, and mastering it doesn’t take thousands of miles of trial and error.
All you need is a solid understanding of backpacking, a few advanced tips and tricks to make life easier, and a mentor to help you when you need it.
Teaching others how to backpack is not just a passion but a profound joy for me, and helping them reach their backcountry goals is equally, if not more, rewarding than reaching my own.
I wholeheartedly believe that the more we engage with the wilderness through backpacking, the better versions of ourselves we become and I would be honored to be a part of your journey.
I hope to see you in there!
