Backcountry Users Rescue and Survival Training with Miles Randell

 

Let’s discuss the space after AST and first aid occur, but before organized rescue arrives. We all practise our avalanche safety skills and first aid skills, but do you know what happens when you hit your SOS button? Do you know how to manage an injured person while waiting for organized rescue to arrive? Or are you wanting to learn more about winter self rescue?
