@AeonMach @im @alex_roddie @Christownsendoutdoors @tf @christhompsonex I think that the #AdventureSmart is useful, alongside messaging about skills/experience (eg navigation). It is teaching folk to critically appraise their own skills and goals.
The problem I think isn't what the messaging is, it's about its reach. Therein lies the challenge.
DANG! I can't win as I'm the tech guy for this course (dang!). It's worth $250-350 and necessary if you want to play in risky backcountry in the winter!
Sign up today, then come to the free Webinar on Thursday to learn a SAR Member's Perspective on how to be #Adventuresmart!
Probably should have posted my #Introduction earlier but here we go:
I'm Scott, I live in #PortMoody, #BritishColumbia, #Canada and work in #Telecom & IT.
I go #Hiking every weekend and #Camping most weekends (yes, #Tenting, yes even #WinterCamping). In the #Winter you'll find me #NordicSkiing ( #CrossCountrySkiing ) and #Snowshoeing.
I also volunteer with #SAR (#SearchAndRescue), #Adventuresmart, and #EmergencyManagement organizations as a #Preparedness instructor.
