Expertise: I have 30 years of outdoor experience - camping, backpacking, hiking and survival training, including military training. I am CPR Certified and have served as a Park Docent in California, where the majority of my experience has taken place. Ask me about venturing into the backcountry safely and confidently, and how to maximize your enjoyment and adventure. Ask me about backpacking gear, first aid, animal encounters, emergency gear, etc. Mike has backpacked Mount Whitney, The Grand Canyon, Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park, Yosemite, Death Valley, Utah's Canyonlands and Grand Staircase Escalante, The Emigrant Wilderness, and many other spectacular locales. |
