My 12 year old step son and i have been wanting to start backpacking and this will be perfect for us to learn together and plan some awesome trips. Im also bummed to see some of the negative feedback jere about the price. Honestly to me $150 is well worth the time and effort of having to comb theough the Internet to get answers on EVERYTHING. Having it all in one course from a trusted expert is amazing, thanks for putting this together Dan!

  • @bw3126
    @bw3126 9 дней назад +2

    I think you missed the mark on the price. $150 is too much coming from a RUclipsr with no formal backcountry/wilderness ops training. I might pay that for an online course coming from NOLS or NWMG. I’m sure the material and videos are good (your vids are top notch on YT), but I think you’re gonna find that you won’t sell many of these packages at $150. I’m not rich and I’m not broke, and my sweet spot for this info would be around $50 bucks. At that price you’d likely sell ten times as many.

Not only that there is a gear review section and a nice message board to have discussions and run ideas by each other.

I watched hundreds of videos and ended up landing on your channel where I found a lot of useful tips from your gear videos. Since then I have backpacked in Shenandoah, Art Lobe Trail, Smokies, Laugavegur in Iceland, Pemi loop etc. This course would have been awesome when I first started out and would have saved so much time.

      it also misses a huge part of the point. if you’re broke, sure, just search. but this stuff (content, information, etc) takes funds to produce. buying not only gets you a cleanly packaged version, but you’re also helping support getting the information out there. so, yeah, if you can’t afford to give back, it’s great this information is out there available for free. but remember who’s putting it there in the first place (obviously not just Dan, but people like).

I’ve certainly gathered a number of things I shouldn’t have bought (like a well reviewed sleeping pad that isn’t thick enough for me as a side sleeper). Some trial and error is inevitable, but if Dan’s course saves you a single $100 error, you’d be ahead of the game.
