Practical Philosophy Social!

Get to know your fellow hikers more intimately with a night of Practical Philosophy.

Get to know your fellow hikers on a deeper level! You may be surprised! **Opposing views are of course welcome!** Location to be determined!

I started this Meetup group because I love building genuine, lasting connections, sharing real stories over good food/coffee, and bringing together a tight-knit community of locals, travelers, and newcomers from Japan and Korea.

Come on your own or bring a friend. Most people at our classes arrive solo. Total beginners are welcome: Kyle starts from zero, and there's no hiking, just short walks into the trees to gather wood. **Kit provided:** Tarps, saws, hatchets, loaner ferro rods and knives to borrow, plus your own tinder kit and a printed handout.
