Hi all,

We have begun to discuss the gear needed for this course. Mountain Equipment Co has a great Gear Swap resource. This could be a potential place to get gear for cheaper than the average price tag. Some of the gear might be used, so use your best judgement as to what your personal limits with used clothing / sleeping bags are. However, you'll find that many of the items on the Swap were purchased at the wrong size or have never really been worn at all. In any case, it's worth checking out!
