Do you know what to do if something goes awry on your next outdoor
excursion? During this class you will learn practical tips and
strategies that every outdoor traveler should know.
We'll cover
the 10 essentials and their practical applications. You'll also learn
about emergency priorities, how to make an emergency shelter, how to
locate and access drinking water, and how to start a fire. This class
is designed for anyone who spends time outside and wants to build
their confidence with outdoor skills.
Participants/safety-wise
adult watchers should be prepared to cover two- to three-mile distance
over flat terrain.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the
class start time. Remember to pack energy snacks and water for the
day.
REI will provide the following: a group first aid kit,
water filter, headlamp or flashlight, and The Ten Essentials
(navigation tools, a headlamp, sun protection, a knife, fire, shelter,
extra food, extra water, and extra clothes).
REI rates this
class as "relaxed" - outdoor learning at its most relaxed
with minimal prerequisite fitness.
Location: McKinney Roughs Nature Park, Cedar Creek
