YES! We are happy to offer a basic backpacking 101 with you prior to your hike. If you would rather a Stove's 101 or Filtration 101 please let us know. ONE of our 101 services are free of charge if you have already purchased an overnight experience with us. If you would like to attend a 101 service but are not interested in an overnight experience (or would like to attend all 3) please purchase one of the basic training packages for $45.00. This includes a 30 minute zoom call, packing list customized to where you are traveling, and links to discounted gear you may need on your trip. Each separate 101 class is its own package.
You are absolutely correct! Anyone can choose to hike on their own but choosing a guiding service allows you the freedom to enjoy the hike without worrying about the route, logistics, safety equipment and having someone with you that is knowledgeable on safety measures, exit routes in case of emergencies, provides emergency shuttle services, learns the local fauna and edible plants, etc. Choosing a guiding service should be a fun experience, we hope you choose Wild Routes, LLC!
