We know you love your feline friend, your beclawed bestie, your clawsome companion, but you wish they could enjoy going to the wilderness as much as you do.
Now, when you head to the meowntains or coast for an advenpurr, you don’t have to leave them behind.
Introducing the newest NOLS course: Catpacking.
The course will begin with the fundamentails of living outdoors:
Gearing up,
Digging an appropriate cathole,
Setting up the purrfect tent,
And staying warm, dry, and feline good in any weather.
You and your furry friend will then progress to more advanced topics, including (but not limited to):
Tree climbing (always have a spotter)
Flower identification
And catnap site selection.
On the way, make sure to:
Take plenty of snack breaks
Stay hydrated
And wash your face.
Finally, always remember to pause and enjoy adventuring with your new expert campurr.
Join us meow.
