Survival for Snowmobilers
with Cheeny Plante, Tim Swanson, and Caelan Dunwoody
Saturday December 2
9AM - 3PM
Would you know what to do if an emergency happened while snowmobiling? Especially miles out on the trail and far from help? What if someone in your party is injured, you get lost in the back country where there is no cell signal, or the weather takes a sudden turn for the worse? Could you get home safely?
Come spend the day with survival and emergency medical experts and learn what to do if things go wrong while on the trail. It could save your life! (or someone else's)
​
Some of the skills we will cover include:
​
-what to bring with you every time you head out on the trail
-staying warm
-navigation
-stopping bleeding
-splinting injuries
-signaling for help
​
​
Hot Cocoa and Lunch included!
Cost: $75
Limit of 30 students
