Pack & Travel
Each of our programs has a unique set of packing requirements... We will tell you everything you need to bring. The packing list is included with your program packet.
Overpacking... The tendency for most of us is to overpack. While overpacking isn't as big a deal for our conferences, it is not an option for our trips. There is literally no room for any gear, other than what is on the list.
Purchasing gear... Gear can be purchased through us at a discount via our partners or through outdoor companies like REI, EMS, and others.
Renting gear... If you do not have the required gear for the trips and you do not want to purchase the equipment yourself, most gear can be rented from, REI, EMS, and others.
