Winter Wilderness Survival

So now you have learned from the other classes how to get out and play in the winter wilderness, but what do you do if you get stuck out there for an unplanned night while on a day trip?  This classroom session will be held in Colorado Springs and will discuss the gear requirements and concepts of survival in the winter wilderness of Colorado.  We will then spend two days and one night in the wilderness to put those concepts to practice.  Attendance at all is required to earn the badge.  We will build multiple types of winter shelters and review other winter survival tips and tricks.  We will backpack in on snowshoes for a short distance with full gear, but the intent is to spend the night in snow shelters using just what you carry on a winter day trip, or a bit more if you are concerned.  We will have our extra gear as a backup.  The classroom session is on 08 Mar from 6:00p to 9:30p in Colorado Springs.  The field session is 11-12 Mar all day both days and overnight near Kenosha Pass.  The cost for this class is $60 for members and $160 for non members.  A general fitness level to travel on snowshoes, and dig snow shelters for long periods is required.  The target audience is anyone who goes on day trips in the winter in any snow environment.
