Members of both the Canadian and United Kingdom teams of ERT Search and Rescue, a United Nations INSARG SAR team recently attend HWTI to participate in a winter/arctic survival training course. During the course temperatures dipped to -30’c overnight, adding to the importance of the skills and techniques they were taught. Such skills included the construction of various winter snow shelters, various methods of starting fires in arctic environments, education on Hypothermia & Frostbite as well as the Psychology of Arctic Survival. 
The team lead by renowned author and educator Gary Foo & Justin from the UK ERT SAR team did an awesome job and learned some valuable skills in addition to earning some bragging rights after having spent a successful night out in the woods with temps dropping to the -30’C mark.
Great Job Guys.
