One of the biggest barriers people face beginning a new outdoor hobby is fear for their safety - and rightfully so! There are plenty of dangers and hazards in the outdoors, and often we find ourselves recreating far away from medical services. Even experienced adventurers can find themselves in sticky situations they’re not prepared for.

Join Ryan, an active member of the NC Mountain Search and Rescue Team, EMT, and an outdoorsman with thousands of miles on the trail, river, bike, and boat, to learn smart and safe outdoor recreation for an evening learning about smart preparation for backcountry recreation.

• Learn about safety in the woods & boost confidence being in the backcountry

• Lower incidents/accidents in the woods

• Answer questions about specific safety concerns in the wilderness

• Learn about Garmin InReach and how to use the gear you already carry when in a pinch
