Ever gone for a hike and wondered what you would do if you ran into a bear? Or cooked at your campsite and didn’t know where to safely store leftovers? Or wanted to try backpacking but could use tips on how to start?

Jeffersonville resident Ashley Furey will answer these questions and much more in her presentation “Hiking Boots, Bears, and Blisters: A Woman's Backpacking Adventures from the Catskills to the Grand Canyon” at the Liberty Public Library on Thursday, August 29 at 6 PM.

She appeared on Radio Chatskill with Tim Bruno.
