SUMMARY:Rucking Thursday: Stratton Open Space
DESCRIPTION:This is for backpacking training and everyone must carry a pack or ruck sack. These are intended to be training sessions and not leisurely walks. \nPLEASE NOTE: Headlamps are required. Depending on the weather\, spikes may be recommended. \nNew to backpacking? If you have never backpacked and are working your way up to backpacking\, I recommend starting with 10 pounds and working your way up each week by adding 5 pounds until you reach your goal weight – this can be anywhere from 25 pounds to 50 depending on your goals. \nLongtime backpacker? Start where you are comfortable based on what you’ve done most recently. Then add weight as we go throughout the year. \nRoute: coming soon!
