Preparing for your outdoor time puts you in a better position to respond to surprises. There will be surprises—that is part of the fun!

Technical requirements and potential additional expenses:

  • A good internet connection
  • A computer that can handle applications like Google Earth Pro
  • A basic understanding of software applications
  • I recommend using Gaia GPS, OnX, or the CalTopo app during this course and will provide discount codes.
  • Some of our Google Earth work will be easier if you have a subscription to CalTopo. I should have a promo code to use during the course, otherwise a subscription is $50/year.
