Starting a Backpacking Group

[Guest jcramin]

Since my son and I are starting to do a lot more backpacking, I thought I would try and start up a Backpacking Group locally in the West and Middle Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and South East Missouri area.

I just want to see if I could get any people interested in a backpacking group.

If anyone is interested just message me and I will start putting a list together.

AND we can carry in State Parks now.

Thanks,

J

Man wouldn't that be the wrong crowd to try to rob!!

Interesting idea.

I've backpacked some in the smokies. My son is wanting to start as well. We had planned on trying to go this year, but it may be next before we can.

I'd be interested but I leave in Dec, I don't know how soon your planning on going out.

Definitely interested. I have backpacked quite a bit in Middle and East TN, and Western NC. If you get a group or a trip together definitely keep me posted. If you are going anywhere in these areas, I also might have some info for you as far as trails/water sources etc.

I'm an avid backpacker, and would love to get something together. Been all over from Fiery Gizzard and Big South Fork to Colorado and New Mexico.

I have lots of equipment for anyone interested but without tents, packs, etc.

Tennessee Trails Association

The Tennessee Trails Association has chapters across the state. While primarily a hiking group, some also do backpacking.

I haven't strapped on my pack since going to Maine in 2001. I might be interested. Great idea.

Well for those actually interested in a Backpacking Group. I found one already going on in the Memphis Area.
