The great outdoors can be a wonderful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and stresses from everyday life. However, spending time in the wilderness, especially doing overnight backpacking trips, can be difficult and unnerving, not to mention dangerous, to those new to the experience. Here at Blue Blaze Brewing, we want to encourage folks to get outside and experience the serenity of nature by providing tips on safety and backpacking techniques. We are excited to be hosting monthly backpacking workshops with experienced backpacker and Appalachian Trail thru hiker, Heidi Nisbett.
Join us on Sunday, March 17 as we go over the variety of food that is well suited for backpacking and trail life. From foraging to ramen to dehydrated backpacker's meals, there are plenty of delicious options to enjoy in the backcountry. We will also go over different cook systems and how you can still enjoy your meals if you decide to travel without a stove. Participation for this event is FREE. The purchase of a beer or two (or three) is appreciated. This workshop is open to experienced backpackers and newbies alike. We hope to see you there! Food provided by local food truck, TBD.
