This workshop is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, especially future Registered Maine Guides. You might be a youth group leader, a hiker, paddler, snowmobiler, or someone that wants to expand their skills or refresh them. You'll be challenged to use a compass outdoors following a known bearing, creating a bearing, traveling in poor or no-light conditions using a compass. You will build fires quickly simulating an emergency situation, cook your own lunch that will be partially prepared at home but using a campfire or a twiggy or small backpacking gas stove. You will learn knots and then apply them to put up emergency shelters. With Mother Nature's assistance, we will be on snowshoes (winter) the whole day. You will be sharing and telling others about why you packed what you packed into your pack for the day and by doing so, you'll learn about other items that you might want to include in the future. This is an all-day workshop that will be held outdoors. If it's snowing/raining/blowing/sunny/warm/cold, the workshop happens. It will only be canceled if driving conditions are unsafe. So dress for the weather, in layers.
