Description

Here is a YouTube video I made as Backpacking 101 guide for anyone who needs it: https://youtu.be/il8_KAQJ72g If there are any questions you have that I didn't answer in the video, feel free to email me at ocvt.tripleader@gmail.com or message me on GroupMe (Nate Merrow). The trip will be to the Rice Fields shelter about 30 mins from campus. Should be a lot of fun!
