Meetup Groups meet face-to-face to pursue hobbies, network, get support, make friends, find playgroups or even change the world!
Get on the Internet to get off the Internet!
You'll get invited to our Meetups as soon as they're scheduled!
Packing too much junk in my pack when I first got started and then having trouble carrying all the weight.
I did a 16 mile hike on the Loveland section of the Buckeye Trail one day. I have only hiked the BT two days in a row.
Wow. I can't think of anything funny. That is depressing.
My favorite was backpacking overnight in Pennsylvania in the winter a few years back. It was cold, but I learned a lot about keeping warm.
I am very inexperienced, but enjoy learning from others and trying new methods of backpacking. I have been working to keep a light, but practical approach to it.

“ If you want to learn to "lighten up" you came to the right place. We laugh a LOT and we (I) like to pack light, but with full functionality. ZuperDave ”
“ Hi, Steve! Welcome to the Cincinnati Area Backpackers Meetup group! We've got a lot of hikes scheduled. Check out our calendar of events. Also read our "New Backpacker Orientation" document in our files area. That should get you off to a good start if you are new to backpacking or just new to our Meetup group. Friday we've got an event that's open to all skill levels. RSVP "yes" for directions. Thanks for joining up. I hope to see you at some meetings and on the trails! - ZuperDave ”
