Wow....that's interesting and I wish I lived closer to Great Falls.

BTW, IF I attended, I suppose that my 12" cast iron dutch oven would not be an item used in ultralight backpacking....

Me, too!

I suppose that my 12" cast iron dutch oven would not be an item used in ultralight backpacking....

I'd say that would be a safe bet, but many UL people still carry a "luxury item".

Sounds like an interesting course.

It does sound interesting. Unfortunately, $200 for the train and $200 for the course makes it a little out of my price range .
