Seasonal Gear Prep and Garage Sale

Sep 10 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

This 2 hour workshop (10:00 AM to noon) is perfect for those looking to learn more about how to prepare for an overnight adventure such as one of our Campaigns.

All too often people just stuff their giant backpacks full of the latest and greatest “tech” only to find that all that stuff diminishes the overall experience.

Dr. Jon D. Morey will go through the different and unconventional ways to efficiently pack your gear, what gear you actually need (and what gear you don’t).

We lead trips right through the Winter, making this an excellent opportunity to waylay your fears about spending the night in the snow!

Following the instructional event from noon to 4:00 PM will be an opportunity to browse the Uncivilized store for your next piece of camping equipment. Have some gear of your own you need to get rid of? Bring it to trade or simply donate!!

All proceeds from this event will go directly to our non-profit, the Uncivilized Living Foundation whose mission “Is to provide underserved and populations in need with the unique benefits of outdoor experiences and the life lessons that come from living in Nature.”

Cost is a suggested minimum donation of $10.
