Northeast Ohio Backpacking Club

I used to camp as a scout and as a married adult when my kids were little. Now that my wife and I are "empty nesters"-looking to do some camping and backpacking again. Also enjoy hiking, fishing and photography.

Babu

My nickname, Babu, is Swahili for grandfather. That I am. I was called that by the porters when I climbed Kilimanjaro in Feb/Mar of 2008. As training for that trip I did a lot of hiking, no overnight, during 2007 and early 2008. Since my return from Africa I haven’t done very much outdoor exercise – a little walking and golf. I really would like to get going with some outdoor activities and I think backpacking would be great.

I am retired and in pretty good shape. I may need some other members to help me to develop some outdoor cooking skills which I haven’t used since Boy Scouts.

I love hiking and being outdoors, and I am currently trying to get more involved in backpacking in PA and WV.

I have 2 experiences w/backpacking. The first was at Allegheny in Fall '95 with the Institute of the Great Outdoors through the Cleveland MetroParks. The second time was in '99 with friends at Monongaleha National Forest in WV. It will be fun to try it again. Besides hiking, my favorite sport is cycling.

Hi,
I am new to the backpacking area having only done some hiking in the Smokies, Quebec, Cananda, an of course locally. After our last camping trip to Quebec, my kids and I thought it would be fun to go to some walk-in campsites. I haven't got them out yet but I went to Wildcat Hollow recently to try it out myself. So far so good.

Just got back from hiking the AT from GA to TENN.

I'm a forest-lover! I'm in on just about any sport happening there -- mountain biking, cross-country skiing, backpacking, etc... I started backpacking a year ago, and it's rapidly becoming my favorite thing to do. After reading "A Walk in the Woods" hiking the AT hit my bucket list, in fact, I just got back from a week-long AT backpacking trip in the Shenandoah forest. Unlike Bill Bryson,I actually got to see a couple of bears. WoooHoo!

I am a LNT (Leave No Trace) Certified Trainer. With that in mind, I would like to keep my trips in the LNT method whenever possible. Not familiar with LNT? Here is the site: http://www.lnt.org/programs/principles.php
If we are on a trip together, I'm an open book! Please feel free to ask me any questions in regard to LNT and how we can help keep the trail clean for ourselves and others.

I discovered backpacking for myself in college after many years of car camping with my Mom. Since then I've made a number of attempts at putting the right gear together for myself and I finally have something to be happy with! I get on as many trips as I can schedule during between early spring and late fall. I keep to day hikes when the white stuff flies. Hope to see you on the trail.

My mom is "Hobe", a fellow backpacker.

The best backpacking advice I can give anyone is to carry as much Dr. Pepper as you can without breaking your knees. For me this is usually around 6 liters.

My name is CJ I am 25, married, and I have a daughter. I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities; such as: hiking, kayaking, and bouldering.I am relatively new to backpacking, but not to the outdoors. I look forward to future discussions.

I work for a fly fishing company and a non-profit conservation agency. I am into hiking, travelling, organic gardening, cooking, practicing Spanish, reading, my cat, hanging out with my friends, and my new neice.

Some of the things I'd like to learn in life are to ride my unicycle, scuba dive, speed read, new languages: German, Italian, and Japanese!, how to cook Indian food, how to chainsaw one of those crazy sculptures out of wood...

Becca

I have finally attained my first backpack after wanting to get into backpacking for many years. I'm really excited to get out and see the world by foot. I think this group will be a great place to learn and meet nice people. I love nature, and feel more at home in the forest than in a car or a city. I love my pups and take them with me everywhere I can.

Beckblaze

My husband and I want to start camping this summer. We enjoy bike riding and walking together. We love being outside - Fresh Air!!

Bee

One of the great things about backpacking is I learn something every time I go on a trip. I've done Archer's Fork, Raccoon Creek, Hickory Creek, and Minister Creek trails. Now I can add winter backpacking at Minister Creek. The members in this club are very nice, and I'm having a great time. I'm hopelessly hooked! I'll have my employer make my check out to Appalachian Outfitters.

Current Goals: Try tougher trips, get in shape to backpack in Peru next May, 200 trail miles hiking / backpacking by November 2010, and attend one of Qi Wiz's LNT trips.

I do a lot of hiking with my dogs, but prefer to take it slow and easy when backpacking so I can enjoy the scenery. Did survive the elements while on Isle Royale and seeing my first bear at Grand Isle. Took up backpacking at the urging of my kids, a park ranger and a botanist.

I live on the border of SE OH, not so close to the club HQ but a reasonable drive to a lot of the places you all are hiking. I started backpacking in 2005 and just love it. I've enjoyed hiking with the club at Mt Rogers, Dolly Sods, Red River Gorge, Wildcat Hollow, and lots of other places.

Involed in Scouts with my son. Would like to lose some weight.

I'm new to backpacking, but grew up going to the campgrounds with my family and have always loved the outdoors. My boyfriend is shaggy and we're looking forward to doing some backpacking trips together.

Big Knife

I'm a relatively new backpacker. I wish I would have started this activity a long time ago. I've hiked the Laurel Highlands (all 70 miles); Wayne National Forest; and the Appalachian Trail. I chose "big knife" as a trail name because I make handcrafted hunting and fishing knives. Some of my knives are very practical (light) for backpacking as well. I'm a high school teacher in Marketing Education.

We backpack as a couple (husband & wife). We have done about six solo trips to date. Our most difficult trip was Oil Creek, PA. Before you say "that's not that hard", it was in the winter in snow shoes and packs and 10" of fresh power.

I hike with the Cleveland Hiking Club during the off-bicycling-season. I like the challenging, off-trail hikes. My GPS is my friend.

Hi all! My name is Billy and I'm from the west side of Cleveland. I just recently moved back home here to Ohio from the great state of Oregon, where I lived for the past four years. I was an avid backpacker and moutain biker out there, but since I've been home I' ve been finding it hard to locate good packpacking spots and people who enjoy the outdoors as much as me. Anyway, I thought this would be a good starting point to network and find cool people to take trips with. Please let me know if there are any trips that people want to go on and I will continue to search for good places to go to here in the fall.

I have been into the outdoors all my life and backpacking for about 4 now. Just now getting to the point of compentency but have really enjoyed each trip. Broke the 100 mile barrier in 2007.

I am a 28 year old male that loves doing activities outdoors such as backpacking, canoeing, and camping. I have hiked some of the only trails in Ohio (Zaleski and Wildcat Hollow), and several trails in the Allegheny National Forest. I hike the allegheny most frequently because there are several trails to choose from and they are not too far from Cleveland. I have also hiked Dolly Sods in West Virginia which is my favorite trail to date.

I am a Life Scout on my way to Eagle and love the outdoors. I always enjoy a challenge and love to hike and camp. Looking forward to the summer camping season and getting in shape for Philmont in 2005.

I love the great outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing. I am looking to build a network of people who enjoy the same things that I do.

I have recently moved to Ohio from Arizona where I lived for three years and worked as the outreach coorinator for REI. I have been interested in the outdoors scince childhood and try to spend all my free time recreating outdoors in some form; hiking, camping, climbing, kayaking, biking, fishing etc. Any and all excuses to get outdoors. I attended collage in Missoula, MT, and have always tried to work in the outdoor/recreation field. I am interested in meeting others who share a love for nature and would enjoy getting to know the local area.

BlisterFoot

I am a novice backpacker with my own gear who is more interested in the sights of a good trail than in logging tons of miles. As such you can catch me taking in the view, bird watching, or doing animal observation. Other activities I enjoy include: canoeing/kayaking/rafting, geocaching, horseback riding, and hiking!

My city life has me working as a birding specialist and habitat steward.

I used to be much more involved in backpacking back when I was in Boy Scouts and would like to get back into it. I've backpacked in OH, NM, PA and NH in the past and would like to expand my frontiers to other states...start off on the shorter weekend trips and work my way back to the longer, week long trips. I'm also an Eagle Scout and have a fair bit of backpacking knowledge which I'd like to shake the cobwebs off of.

I started Appalachian Outfitters in 1988 because of my love of the outdoors, backpacking canoeing and kayaking were my hobbies. I eat, sleep and breath gear. There was no place to buy quality outdoor gear and get good advice at that time other than the Backpackers Shop, now 16 years later there is still only 2 great outdoor shops.
I have backpacked many places( I took Aaron on his first trip to WV's North Fork Mtn). I am always happy to share maps and advice.
I am getting old and there is still so many places I haven't seen yet! The outdoors keeps me young. My photo is on A.O.'s web site. If you stop in at A.O., introduce your self, I have a special place in my heart for backpackers. 03 02 07 My photo has been removed from the AO web site and I have been banned from working the sales floor, however, I still love NEOBP Club

I've been of 4 serria club backpack trips. I've hiked the AT through the smokies. I've done several hikes in Glacier with my oldest son. I love the high country (above tree line is idea). I'm retired. I just found out about the club and I hope to take part in several of the hikes listed on the calander.

In Columbus and not many organized packing/hiking trips
thru our Columbus Outdoor org group. Have packed several of our incredible National parks, but am always interested in both additional outings...distant or a bit more local.
Some kayaking experience...quite a bit of cycling interest;
and cross country skiing. Very demanding work schedule so finding options that work are somewhat challenging.
Grew up in the NE ohio area and just found out about you
via a local friend.
Thankyou!

I enjoy hiking and am interested in hearing what others have to say in regards to this exciting activity. I am an immigrant from Bosnia and Hercegovina and have lived in the USA for almost nine years. I am currently a student, and have hiked in the USA for about four years. I enjoy hiking because i have grown up in the country side, and have spent much time with my father herding sheep as a young boy. Every few months or so we would take some of our sheep over the mountains to the city market. The trips usually would take day to the market, and a day back. By joining this backpacking association i hope that, in a way i will be able to relive the experience of my childhood.

Only been backpacking for a hike in once. Love to hike. Ready to explore this place I call home.

I'm back into backpacking, after doing some recent dayhikes in Yellowstone and the Beartooth Mountains and fell in love all over again.

I've backpacked all of my life, but I never get to take too many trips in any one year. Now that I'm an empty nester, I'm thinking I can get away more. I take one trip every fall with some friends to the West, and I've visited most Nat Parks. My most memorable trip was probably Mt. Whitney about 6 years ago.

Really looking forward to going on a overnight trip or two day trip this spring. (2008)

Would like some one to contact me about a trip. Need some help w/ type of gear and what were looking to get into.

I love outdoor adventure but don't get out and play as much as I would like to. Work and volunteer activities have kept me busy, but I'd like to find more time to get outside, travel and explore because it's when I feel most alive.

I haven't hiked in my home state of Ohio much before, but am interested in taking some overnight trips. I am planning for a NOBO Thru-Hike of the AT starting in March of 2011.

Greetings, I stumbled across this webpage and I'm very impressed and excited. I started backpacking in Boy Scouts in the late 70's and on into Explorers in high school. At O.U. also got out some. When my wife and I were dating we did some. Then work demands and a child blah blah blah you know the rest. I have gotten out to Zaleski a couple times in the two years and I'm looking forward to meeting some new people and checking out some new places.
