Education

We’ll cover everything you need to know about taking care of outdoor outerwear, equipment, and accessories—from washing and drying to hole-patching and seam-fixing. You’ll learn pro tips for preventative maintenance, repair kit essentials, item-specific repairs (including tents, jackets, bags, and packs), and on-the-trail fixes. Plus, the first 100 people who enroll will receive a free gear repair kit.

How This Course Works

We know you have a busy schedule, so we’ve designed this course to be taken at your own pace. You’ll learn through a variety of interactive formats, including video instruction, step-by-step photo descriptions, and more. Each session builds on the last, and, while we’ve designed the course in 7 parts, you can take it as quickly or slowly as you want. Plus, once you purchase the course, the lessons are yours forever.
