We were to choose one of the 3 destinations. We were to study the trail, fill out a Hiker Itinerary Form, pick the gears we'd need. Then, we were told of an accident happened to one of our party. We were separated into 3 different rooms, each with a volunteer from KCESAR, debriefing the real incident happened on these 3 places. Discussion on what we should do, what we shall bring, both for the hikers and the rescuers. Then, we switch to a different destination, and a different real incident.
A girl from NWAC gave a brief talk on avalanche.
Last, REI employees did a "fashion walk". One dressed in proper outdoor clothes, the other dressed in fashionable but wrong materials. 3 sets of the outfit pairs: base layer, mid layer, and outer shell.
There's a give-away in the end, using the hiker itinerary forms we filled. I got a shoe bag from Hoka.
Takeaways:
- bring extra warm clothing + food, prepare for 6+ hours for rescuer to arrive
- always tell someone where you are going
- synthetic puffy is better than down when wet
