Looking to reduce your pack weight and improve your backpacking experience? Start with the ‘Big 4’: backpack, shelter, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. We will review the importance of the Big 4, talk tradeoffs, and discover some new(ish) trends offering today's backpackers choices for higher-performing gear at lower weight. Come find out if it might be time to upgrade one of your Big 4 items.

Follow this up by coming to BPX’s Tents and Taste Event on Saturday June 6! Registration required.

This event is hosted by the Backpacking Section (BPX) for BPX members only. Contact the CMC office if you would like to join the BPX Section.
