Are you prepared to spend a freezing night out in the woods?
Do you like to get out into the backcountry and explore? This is a hands-on course on what to do, what to pay attention to, and how to maximize your fun and stay safe on a cold-weather hike in northern Arizona. Participants will learn the five survival priorities when faced with an emergency. We will also learn about how Search and Rescue works in Coconino County. In addition to the resources, lists, handouts, and knowledge you’ll take home, the class fee also includes SOL Heat Sheets, plastic match safes, and parachute cord. After you sign up we’ll also provide a list of things you’ll need for the class.
This class meets for two days:
Friday, Feb. 2, 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. and
Saturday, Feb. 3, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
