"But wait, Scott, I thought the AdventureSmart Webinar Series was about Search and Rescue??"
... it is!
In many places, local Search and Rescue members are often tasked to help out during evacuations -- to spread the word, direct traffic, help the vulnerable, and rescue those caught in a tough place.
By training people to be ready for an emergency we're reducing the number and severity of tasks during a disaster.
You can help by registering, viewing and boosting!

Avalanche Canada, our industry 'cousins', is our special guest for this winter webinar. Recognizing avalanche terrain takes a keen eye, insight and 'training'! Learn from the experts and let AvCan introduce you, or remind you, to the key elements of safe backcountry travel.
As the sun sets over the rugged mountain ridge, let's remember the importance of planning our hikes to avoid being out after dark.
Unprepared hikers often underestimate how quickly darkness falls in the mountains, leading to risky situations.
Always bring a headlamp, even on day hikes, and know your route well. Stay safe and savor the sunset from a safe location!
