A friend of mine wants to learn to camp and go backpacking. I've led trips and taught these skills quite a bit, although it's been a bit too long since I've been on a real backpacking trip. I teach backpacking and hiking for BOW, and she took my class last year. I'm looking forward to getting out again myself, and it'll be very fun to introduce a new person to this stuff! She's a hunter - for deer and turkey - so she's been looking into lightweight clothing and equipment more suited to days on the trail. She's already bought a really nice backpack. For our first outing we're just going to go camping someplace nearby but that feels remote. I'm really looking forward to the campfire, camp food, and sleeping outdoors. It's been too long!
