Under grey skies and drizzly rain, students in the most recent wilderness survival course spent the day out on the Wilderness section of the Ganaraska trail practicing skills that could one day save their lives should they ever find themselves lost or injured in the wilderness.
Guided by Sean and Scott a group of students headed out on a 5km hike into what is, some of the roughest wilderness in this part of Ontario. From water crossings to heavily wood landscapes the students were given an insight and the experience of wilderness navigation, building a wilderness shelter, constructing distress signals and learning what to do when bad things happen to good people or aka when things go wrong. We are happy to report that we came back with the same number of students we left with and all were in good spirits all be it a little damper then when they left, but hopefully better prepared to head out on more remote trips.
