OVERVIEW: In the hiking/mountaineering world there are the "10 Essentials" - essentials you take with you before you venture into the wild. These "essentials" include items like maps, a compass, fire starters, first aid kit (and knowledge to use it when you are hours away from immediate medical help), some kind of shelter, extra clothing and other equipment/knowledge that help you survive the wilderness experience - or at least increase the odds! In the wilds of government there are limitations to available resources, just like in the real wilderness.
This session is a field guide of the "10 Essentials" that will help you prepare for your summit attempt of RIM Mountain. What kind of planning and preparation do you need before you even get to the trailhead? What do you do if you lose the trail and have to bushwhack? What tools and equipment will be the necessary to navigate to the summit safely? Learn some of the alpine/RIM skills that will help make your trek to the top a success!
