Adventure Consulting
If you have questions, we have answers! Consulting can be done in person or through remote video. Adventure consulting is a great way to ‘pick the brain’ of a seasoned guide and backpacker! Here are some examples of common consulting sessions, but you can schedule a consult for anything!
“how much fuel do i need?”
“what liter backpack do i need for my trip?”
“Where do I even start?”
Gear Shakedown- “Do I need all this stuff??” Let us asses all your gear for a trip you have planned, and see if you need to add, subtract or substitute gear items you have. We can also check pack fit, and proper backpack packing. (Say that 3 times ten times fast) We can also go over proper gear use, maintenance and troubleshooting tips for gear failure in the field.
Super Duper Beginner- “But I’ve never hiked before!” Do not fear! Adventure Consultants are here! And beginner hikers are our favorite people! Let us help you with the knowledge to feel amazingly confident on your first hike in the White Mountains. (Or anywhere!) We will go over first hike options for your ability range, gear for your day trip, and other pertinent knowledge you should have on your adventure into the outside.
Meal Planning- “BUT WHAT DO I EAT?” This is one of the most common questions we answer! Food is one of the most important pieces of gear you carry! Let us guide you thought the process to make you feel comfortable with the amount of food you will need on your adventure! We have broad knowledge in most diets, including vegan, gluten free and keto.
Gear Talk- “What the heck does a ‘non-freestanding tent’ mean?” Do you need a new piece of gear or equipment? Let’s talk about it! We can go over options, see what your needs are, and find you your most favorite new tent/backpack/stove/sleeping bag/rock climbing shoe/puffy coat/poop shovel/hiking shoe/white water raft/paddle board…you name it, we can help you find it!
Adventure Planning
Planning an adventure is like crafting a roadmap to excitement and discovery. It begins with a spark of curiosity, a desire to break away from the routine and embrace the unknown. The first step involves setting clear goals and objectives, whether it's reaching the peak of day hike, sleeping soundly though your first overnight, or completing a full thru-hike. Research is crucial, as it allows you to gather information about your chosen destination, activities, and potential challenges. Assembling the right gear and resources is the next step, ensuring you are well-prepared for whatever lies ahead. Flexibility is also key; adventures often come with unexpected twists, and the ability to adapt and make quick decisions can enhance the experience. Finally, planning an adventure involves anticipation and excitement, as you count down the days to embark on a journey that promises to broaden your horizons and create lasting memories.
