Wilderness Preparation Essentials

 Map & Compass Navigation

Do you want to explore the great outdoors safely? What about bears? What do I do if i get lost? Your instructor will have years of wilderness experience, Search and Rescue experiences, and experiences in all weather and terrain to help answer all of your questions. 

This class will go over basic gear, LNT, the 10 essentials to help you prepare for your adventure. 

You may also add an optional personal one-one consultation before or after class. 

Do you have a compass in your pack with no idea how to use it? We can help! Map and Compass navigation is an essential skillset for any wilderness activity, but if you don't know how to use it, its just dead weight. Get practical hands on experience with us to prepare for your next adventure and have a backup plan for when your GPS dies.
