Come Walk With Us on the Trans Canada Trail (TCT)

How does running a digital classroom and providing content along the way to organizations and classrooms change the hike, what is in your backpack, what your schedule looks like?   Moreover does ensuring that you can run a digital classroom on a trail change how you prepare, how you plan, what you carry on you, and what is expected of you on the trail?   Especially in the age of ultralight backpacking and thru hiking.
