Ultralight Gear 101 with Garage Grown Gear - Minnesota

​This event is free to attend, with optional donations welcomed.

​Have you ever wanted to learn more about ultralight outdoor gear, but didn't know where to start? Have you ever wanted to see it, touch it, and learn more about it in-person, since it's so hard to understand the nuances of outdoor gear when you are looking online? If so, this exciting event in partnership with St Paul Minnsota based Garage Grown Gear is the event for you! This 2-hour workshop will include a real life introduction to a lot of popular ultralight outdoor gear, including tents, quilts, sleeping pads, stoves, food and more. Backpacking and gear experts will provide us with a hands on experience, full gear warehouse tour, and an opportunity to try on ultralight packs, attach a quilt to a sleeping pad, explore technical clothing and more! This event is indoors at the Garage Grown Gear warehouse in St Paul Minnesota, and the address will provided upon registration.

​​We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. This event is intended for the LGBTQ+ community.
