This week's Hiking Skills will focus on everything related to backpacking. While our focus is the woods and mountains of the Northeast, this principles will get you started in many places. We'll cover the additional gear considerations including tents, sleeping bags and stoves. What do you eat when you're "out there." And most importantly, how to put it all together to have a fun trip.

Are you an experienced AMC hiker and curious about how volunteer-led AMC hiking and backpacking activities are governed? The Boston Chapter's Hiking/Backpacking Committee meets monthly to handle such matters as overseeing the chapter's hundreds of hiking/backpacking leaders and leader candidates, coordinating educational programs, administering our finance, setting policy, etc. Interested guests are welcome to sit in. For the particulars, contact Elizabeth Ryan, the chairperson, at chair@hb.amcboston.org.
In the final installment of the Hiking Skills series, we'll introduce you to the principles of Wilderness First Aid, strength training and all around injury prevention. First Aid on the trails looks a bit different from your standard at home or office protocols. Learn how to care for basic injuries and what to when you need more help. Then a personal trainer will take us through some exercises and pointers on how to keep yourself strong and limber for your outdoor pursuits.
