As long as I’ve been backpacking I’ve heard other backpackers say REI gear is too heavy. Well REI heard you, not only did they hear you, but REI now carries lighter weight gear and has in store instructors who conduct classes on how to lighten the pack weight you already carry.
If you’re interested in carrying a lighter backpack join me at the REI Buford, GA store on Saturday, June 1, 2013. I will be conducting a class on how to lighten your pack weight. And it’s FREE!
Register now group size is limited, see details below.
“Description: So you have your backpack loaded with all the “necessary” items for your next backpacking trip. Still think you might be carrying too much? Join REI for this small group session on how to cut weight, carry the essentials and tailor your gear to best suit your needs. In this hands-on class, bring in your personal pack and gear and we will go through the items you take with you when backpacking and do a group “shake-down” on gear. You will receive the small group attention you need to really perfect your packing system.”
