Backpacking Tarps & Shelter Masterclass

Details

When the weather turns or gear fails, knowing how to adapt is essential. Do you want to be stuck in your tent in the pouring rain? Where do you cook and eat if your only shelter is your tent? This hands-on class teaches backpackers how to pitch tarps for maximum protection and space in harsh conditions, plus how to repair common tent failures in the field. Learn key knots, tarp configurations for wind and rain, and how to fix broken poles, torn fabric and busted zippers- so you can stay sheltered and continue your adventure. This is a lightly active class. We will walk, bend and sit. Wear layers appropriate for weather conditions and bring sunscreen, water, big repellant and lunch. We supply several different types of tarps and rope. You are welcome to to bring your pack with your backpacking gear. *I am now accepting in-person payment via either cash or Venmo.
