The Charlottesville hiking community was treated to an excellent presentation on backpack basics by someone who has done the Triple Crown of Hiking, Mark Perschel. Sponsored by the Great Outdoors Provision Company at the Barracks Road Shopping Center, Mark talked about gear choices, route planning, equipment management, safety and many more areas in planning a long distance backpack. Sprinkled with personal experiences, insights and “Big Fish” tales along with Snickers bar rewards for audience participation, the presentation was enjoyed by all along with the drinks and food provided by the Great Outdoors. The Charlottesville Chapter of the PATC wishes to thank the Great Outdoors Provision Company for their help and support in making this interesting talk happen.
