Service Description

Join me at 7pm for Wildly Equipped: A Gear Talk for Women Who Hike Because how you pack can change your entire adventure. Calling all adventurous women—whether you’re planning your first day hike or a multi-day backpacking trip, this webinar is for YOU. Join us for a down-to-earth, empowering, and info-packed session where we’ll break down everything you need to know about hiking and backpacking gear—designed specifically with women in mind. In this live webinar, we’ll cover: 🪢 The Big 3: Backpack, shelter, and sleeping pad—what to look for in women-specific designs, how to choose gear that works with your body, and tips to lighten your load without sacrificing comfort or safety. 🎒 The 10 Essentials: The must-carry items for every hike—from navigation and sun protection to fire-starting and first aid. Learn why these items matter and how to tailor them for different adventures. 🚺 Outdoor Hygiene & Concerns for Women: How to pee in the woods (and not hate it). We’ll talk urinary devices, packing out waste, period prep, and Leave No Trace best practices—because comfort and confidence matter. 🧥 Clothing & Layering Systems: What fabrics to wear, what to avoid (looking at you, cotton!), how to layer for warmth and versatility, and tips for dressing in cold, wet, or hot climates. 🐻 Safety, Bears & Backcountry Awareness: Bear protocols, how to store food based on location (canisters vs. hangs), and what safety tools to carry (GPS, personal locator beacons, pepper spray, etc.). Learn how and where to leave your trip plans for added security. 💦 Water Filtration & Purification: Different systems explained—filters, UV, tablets—and how to decide what works best for your trip. ☔ Rain Gear & Weather Prep: How to choose breathable rain gear, staying dry and warm, and what “emergency layers” to always carry. 👣 Real Talk Q&A: Bring your questions—there’s no such thing as TMI here. We’re talking about the real concerns women face on trail, in a supportive space. Audrey is a hiking and backpacking guide with over a decade of experience in the field.
