Mt’n. Travel & Rescue course

[Eric Blumensaadt]

Feb. 26th I'm co-teaching a ski patrol Mountain Travel & Rescue course (indoor session). My topics are map & compass, clothing and shelters.

I think I've got the topics covered but I want to know what you'd advise me to cover that may not be in standard texts. i.e. "hard earned" tips on clothing, shelters, cooking, water carring & storage overninght, etc. (BTW, the National Ski Patrol publishes a book for the course.)

I'll look and send you what I have.

Brian- I wouldn't mind seeing what you have either if possible :)

eric posted up a couple of good links on clothing earlier
