I've put together a Ruck March & Bug Out Bag Clinic for Nov. 01 at 2:00 PM in Bedford.
We're going to have a family-friendly hike (4-5 miles) through the woods on the Milwaukee Trail. This will give folks the opportunity to see what it's like to carry all, some, or none of their gear. We'll also have a few extra bags and gear for people to check out and try on, etc. This isn't a competition, there's no real objective other than to "see what it's like" and we're only going to be out there for a few hours. Should be a beautiful hike and a chance to get to meet some like-minded folks in the Bedford area while gaining some insight on different bags and survival/prepping gear like fire starters, water filters, etc.
Working on sponsors right now but it's going to be pretty informal since this is our first official event. (Hoping to get a semi-annual, quarterly, monthly type thing going where we'll work on compass reading, use of terrain, small team tactics, etc.) Basically, just throw on a backpack and walk down an easy trail for an hour or so, stop for hydration, snacks and a Q&A session with military vets, Scouts, etc., and then we'll take it back to the cars and go home.
