What We Can Cover

In the 90-Minute Session (Beginner Coaching)

We go through a complete backpacking system:

• Gear systems (pack, shelter, sleep, clothing, cooking, water)
• How everything works together
• How to choose the right type of gear
• Trip planning and logistics
• On-trail skills and decision making
• Comfort, safety, and efficiency

You’ll understand:
👉 What you need, why you need it, and how to use it

In the 60-Minute Session (Custom Call)

We focus entirely on what you need help with.

Common topics include:

• Reviewing your current gear setup
• Reducing pack weight and improving comfort
• Trip planning (routes, permits, logistics)
• Clothing systems for specific conditions
• Shelter, sleep, or cooking decisions
• Fixing issues you’ve had on trail
• Preparing for an upcoming trip

Or anything else you want.

Important: How Gear Recommendations Work

The 90-minute coaching session is designed to teach you:

• How backpacking systems work
• What features actually matter
• How to avoid expensive beginner mistakes
• How to evaluate gear intelligently

It does not give you a list of exact products to buy.

Why?

Because the “best gear” depends on:

• Your body
• Your climate
• Your budget
• Your preferences

Generic recommendations lead to bad purchases.

Want Specific Gear Picks?

That’s where Build My Kit comes in.

After your coaching session, you’ll receive a discount code for:

👉 Build My Kit

A personalized gear selection service where I:

• Analyze your goals, experience, body, and preferences
• Build a complete, dialed-in gear list
• Recommend specific products that fit you

Coaching teaches you how to choose gear
Build My Kit tells you exactly what to buy

They’re designed to work together.

Who This Is For

• This is perfect if you:
• Feel overwhelmed by backpacking gear
• Want to avoid wasting money on the wrong setup
• Are preparing for your first (or next) trip
• Want to improve comfort, safety, and efficiency
• Already have gear but know something isn’t dialed in

The Goal

Simple:

👉 You leave the call knowing exactly what to do next

No confusion. No guesswork. No wasted money.
