Itinerary:

Are you ready to try something new? Would you like to tell your friends and family that you can walk on water? Are you getting bored with summer camping? Do you want to try winter camping, but you do not know what you will need and if you are ready?

Join me for my introduction to winter camping lecture (WINTER CAMPING 101). Learn about the proper hiking and camp clothing, sleeping bags, and other gear, what to do to stay warm and dry, shelter systems, food, and other tricks of the trade.

The lecture will be given with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation. I plan to bring some of my own gear along for a show and tell, and hands on demo.

A question and answer format will be promoted. The floor will be open to others that can offer their good experience and/or advice to the less experience members.

We plan to have a few TOC winter camping adventures over the 2009/2010 winter season where we can put to practice our new knowledge, skills and equipment.

See you then
